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.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(



Is this blog awesome? Vote it up!

You seem down Chad, here's a picture of a Dolphin with a gun to cheer you up

There is no way anything on this planet can be worse than Dane Cook -- especially not you, Chad.

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.
it's ok chad. people are human. things like this happen. ::dolphin hug::

stupid secure server...
Hey, don't be sad. I love you.

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.
Enjoy the Dolphinmobile, you have earned it.

I got the joke (or processed it as an attempt to joke) . . .

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!
I still love you Chad. :)
Cheer up! Humor, some people no haz.
Chad's awesome, no joke could hurt me so much as to break my vow of love.
I knew it was sarcasm and I laughed really hard and of course I still love you/forgive you!
I forgive you.

Now pop this in your mouth and have a gobble.

I haven't listened to the episode yet Chad, but I'm sure it was completely accidental, and that you didn't mean anything bad by it.

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.
You know what offends me? People that get offended.

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.
Chad, don't beat yourself up over this. I thought it was very clearly a joke but I think this was a pretty heartfelt apology. Your the best around, nothing's going to ever take you down.
":( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :("
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.
I wasnt offended. The comment was obviously a sarcastic joke in general because you were listing all sorts of things the crazy types would think you wouldnt get into heaven for being.
Don't apologize. Then people will come to expect it out of you. And fuck other people.

:D
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Don't worry Chad. You can punch old ladies and still go to Heaven.

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. ;)
FIREGOD
<3 i love your jokes Chad :3 they always give a smile to your face. Don't beat yourself over for it. Dane cook is pretty bad but you're nowhere near his level.
What the... Why would apologize about something like that? Chad... Fuck haters. Easiest way to deal with those who can't take a joke: mark them as spam.
I didnt hear the podcast but from your explanation alone it sounds like an obvious joke. The people that took offence are the ones that need a slap in the face.
Anyone who knows you AT ALL would know that was a joke. I found it funny. I'm sorry people were upset by that.

I still love you

<3
Psh, don't apologize for that! If people are going to be so easily offended they need to gtfo the internet.

I love you, your amazing.
But you're still not going to heaven.









(Waits to see who still doesn't get it.)
I got the joke.
I don't understand how anyone could think that you, Chad Concelmo would say something like that and not be sarcastic....I laughed at the joke, I don't understand how people can be so stupid over something like that.
It was obvious sarcasm..

Either way, look how much everyone in the community loves you!! So many dolphin cheer-ups.
<33333 chad
Don't equate ignorance and hatred of millions of people with the comedy of Dane Cook. He is far, far worse.

;)
dont apologize, you will get hate mail from everyone so dont worry.
I am sorry there's apparently so many people out there without a sense of humor. If you emailed Chad about being upset about that comment, you fail it.
boo too all the ppl that dont have humor or dont understand humor.
Dont feel bad. It was joke. If no one gets it, then you're the only one laughing.You're more happy in that instant of laughter than all the pissed off people. Why even care?
Man... you shouldn't feel so bad.

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.
Nope, that's your career in radio done, boy.
Don't feel bad, I mean, it's a joke, nothing more than that. And you're awesome, so fuck other people.
It's okay, those people who emailed you about it are just mad because they're not getting into heaven.
People are stupid. Don't you apologize for the fact that they're retarded.
No need to apologize. We love you.
Chad is the coolest, not only for making the joking in the first place (the joke twas quite funny), but for caring enough about the people he offended to make this blog.

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.
I think it would funny if now you got hateful emails from people who are offended by you saying that homosexuals should get into heaven.
Don't worry Chadmeister, those who got offended need to take a chill pill.
how could anyone ever send you hate mail <3
Haven't listened to the podtoid of last week yet, so... anyways, we still love you Chad and I'm sure that you have nothing to worry about. go hug that giant stuffed dolphin you have and be happy.
Fuck 'em Chad. Yer a saint. It makes me sad that they made you feel so bad you had to write this.
Don't worry... Take a ride in the Dolphin Submarine and let all your troubles float away.
