On Thursday’s RetroforceGO! we were talking about something … honestly I can’t even remember what the conversation was specifically about. All I know is it had something to do with heaven. After this was brought up I made a joke about coming out of the closet and not going to heaven. Oh God, if you only knew the hate mail I received because of it. I am going to say something about this before next week’s show, but I am so horribly upset by all this that I really felt the need to make a post explaining everything. I was trying (however unsuccessfully) to make a joke about how there are a million stupid, highly ignorant people out there that actually believe this – that if you are gay you won’t go to “heaven.” It was a stupid joke (stupidest joke I have made), but that’s what it was: a joke. Actually, it wouldn’t even call it a “joke.” I am so far from thinking something hateful like this could be true (and assume most of you are as well) that I said it just because it sounded so ridiculous. In no way did I mean any harm by it, especially something like this that means so much to me. I hope most of you knew that. If not (which I totally understand after listening back), I apologize more than I ever have in my life. I never meant to say something so asinine and idiotic. Bad jokes really can be terrible sometimes. Please accept my apologies for my awful sense at humor. Ugh. And I am not writing this (super serious) blog because someone asked me to. I truly felt horrible after receiving these e-mails from people that I just felt the need to say something. I need to go punch myself in the face now. :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

You could take a dump on puppies and I'd still have more respect for you than him.
P.S. - Don't try and test my love by actually pooping on puppies. That would be wrong.

I mean that joke doesn't sound as bad as that one Jodie Foster rape joke you made. Well, now that I think about it, that one was pretty awesome.
As a longtime listener, I know that statement wasn't coming from a place of true belief. I heard that through my sarcastic, humor-in-tragedy sort of humor filter, and didn't personally take offense by it.
But I get how that can touch a reasonable nerve with someone.
No matter what, you're still amazing man!
Now pop this in your mouth and have a gobble.
People make mistakes, and those made in humor are the funniest of all.
And yeah, Dane Cook is terrible. But you could never be ANYWHERE near as bad as he is. EVER.
Jim Sterling has said it before, it's remarkable at what comments people get worked up about on a podcast where "rape" is an acceptable word to toss about.
I got the joke, Chad. I think a lot of people did too. You are a very thoughtful individual.
That's ten angels and ten kittens that just died.
I thought that joke was hilarious, by the way. I feel sorry for anyone who didn't catch on to the sarcasm.
:D
Just make sure you confess your sins, say three "Hail Mary"s, four "Our Father"s, and one "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" after each old lady you clobber. ;)
I still love you
<3
I love you, your amazing.
(Waits to see who still doesn't get it.)
Either way, look how much everyone in the community loves you!! So many dolphin cheer-ups.
;)
Anyone who has been around here long enough, or just taken the time to read any of your articles and blogs around here, would know exactly where you are coming from and that you are probably the least hateful person on this site.
The people that emailed you would have just found something else to complain about I'm sure. Some people just see the worst side of everything.
Oh, and I hope you all bought the latest issue of Game Informer. The magazine itself is pretty crappy, but there is a picture of Chad in it, and therefore it's awesome.
