[font size=5]Blake Shelton Issues The Worst Non-Apology For Homophobic Tweets[/font]
It might be time for that sweet escape, Gwen.

It would be easy to call Sheltons tweets homophobic, misogynist and downright offensive (is anyone surprised?), but what troubles us most is that he actually thinks hes funny. ....
Standing in line at a coffee shop in LA talking with the man in front of me, he reportedly tweeted. He orders a skinny caramel latte. I couldnt tell he was gay!!!
If the tweets are authentic, Shelton didnt reserve his hilarious commentary just for suspected gay people. No, he also felt the needed to label women as bitches and liken them to zoo animals. In one tweet, a quote was shared that likens picking up bitches in a bar to hunting deer in a zoo.
Did you think we were done? Because Shelton wasnt when he discovered that his shuttle bus driver cant speak a FUCKING word of English in 2010 or when he wished that he could understand the dickhead in the next room was saying so he could know what hes planning to bomb.

(4,572 posts)and managed to survive a terrible tragedy in his life and a long painful period of intense suffering. There's a super documentary about it called "Crazy Again" (might be on Netflix or maybe Amazon).
I was fortunate to see him play live in Baton Rouge last spring, with my "young fart" 18-year son, who loves him. Great musician, great band, tons of great recordings.
