Maybe I should hide under a rock and stop engaging with the world
From the TV column:
Disney, which is about to release Mel "[expletive] Jews . . . are responsible for all the wars in the world" Gibson's new flick "Apocalypto," must have been thrilled to learn that despite (or, more likely, because of) Michael Richards's recent racist rant at a comedy club, sales of the "Seinfeld" seventh-season DVD have shot up 75 percent over Seasons 5 and 6.
So much for Jesse Jackson's call for a boycott of the DVD
Doesn't this make you feel warm and fuzzy inside?

Do you really think that helped sales? my guess is that it simply didn't affect them.

rhis is the next paragraph of the article
FYI, boxed sets of Seasons 5 and 6 were released on the same day last year. The big difference is that this year, the day before the seventh-season DVD release, Web site TMZ.com posted a video of Richards's performance at a Los Angeles club last month in which he began screaming at an African American he thought was heckling him, "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a [expletive] fork up your [expletive]," after which Richards repeatedly shouted a racial slur.
