True?

Carlos Mencia just said, on Jay Leno, that if you've lived in the U.S for over 20 years you can take the citizenship exam in "your native language". That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

I would speculate that he was making urban-legend-fun of gullible immigrants. I need to see Youtube on this, though to confirm. I convinced an Indian kid in college that we had a "Hog Scrompin'" contest at the county fair where I grew up. We'd grease a pig up and what ever guy could get it to squeal the loudest won.

This is the footage from an anti-semitic rally at Wayne State University last Thursday:

Here is a story that aired about the rally on Fox 2 News (Detroit):

Here are two rally organizers (Mike Staunch and Shemon Salam) trying to defend themselves, but they ended up being really offensive:

There is also a story posted on littlegreenfootballs about the rally.

THE OFFENSIVE GROUP WHO ORGANIZED THE RALLY, "ANTI-RACIST ACTION" (ARA), IS MADE UP MOSTLY OF NON-STUDENTS, AND THE GROUP OPENLY CALLS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL AND AMERICA.

Holy Off-Topic, Batman!

Anyhow, how does Carlos Mencia (nee' Ned Holness) still have a job, after all the plaigarism, never mind appearances on Leno?

Joe, can you elaborate for those of us who haven't followed Mencia's career with anything approaching close attention? Thanks.

the scariest part of that post is that you watch the thoroughly untalented Leno. C'mon you! You are supposed to be an arbiter of taste. I look to you! Leno?!?! I expect this from Dawn Summers, not you.

Ari, look at the timestamp, there was nothing else on. :-)

Funky
Do a YouTube search for Mencia or, better, Carlos Mestealia or some such. His audacity is amazing. Stealing from minor league comments is one thing, but the guy has stolen from Bill Cosby as well.

Which other comedian did Mencia steal that from?

Leno interviewing Mencia? Sounds like an anti-matter vortex of non-funny.
