I don't care if he's a good guy over beers as in this day and age I can't afford to employ smoking guns like that and quite honestly anyone that thinks those are funny and a good idea is not the type of person I would like to work with. I could kind of understand if those tweets came from a 20-something guy that hasn't grown up yet but the guy was in his 40's when he made them which I find a little disturbing.

And if taken in context to the other kind of shock material he was doing at the time then it seems a lot less disturbing. Problem is we're looking at this with the #metoo mentality that's permeating pop culture at the moment.
