This is the exact opposite to the punishment they call for when other members of society do stuff they don't like.Granted this is not a crime,but you are not encouraging any changes be made(2 weeks off.......is a vacation...it is not a change in format.)See,this is a case of somebody repeatedly doing something wrong at their job.I understand he is doing comedy.I understand that this is a situation that needs to be looked at in context to the situation(2 guys getting paid to try to be funny.) Many people are wrong for not taking that part into account,but many others are wrong for thinking race should continue to be fair game for the comedy done on this show.You are wrong for wanting to sweep this thing under the rug(and by not supporting any real changes here.. you are doing that.)IMUS, himself, says he wants to change the show.Not these guys...No,all they want is people to shut up about the topic(because it has close to zero importance to them.)They really could care less if this same mistake is made again.That is sad.You would think you would want the real gas in this fire(Bernard) to be let go.How this show can change with that guy doing so much of the writing is beyond me.I would say atleast 25% of this guy's comedy writing is of this same sort(racial overtone involved.)Don't see how this guy can stay.Can't see why this isn't the minimum change that should happen.If this "actual change" of some sort was made,then the calls to move on would make more sense.I don't understand the support for just doing nothing(but a vacation.) If it is wrong,then do something to try to keep it from re-occuring.What workplace does nothing when large mistakes are made?

AMEN

There are more pressing issues we should worry about
