Now this is an apology.
Summary, if you haven't heard the story: Jason Alexander went on Craig Ferguson and made a joke calling the game of cricket "gay", with some accompanied (effeminate) imitations of the way that the ball is thrown (pitched? hurled? I know nothing about cricket). Of course, he was called out for his statements...but the apology he made went far beyond what you'd expect.
You know what I found most interesting about the apology? In it, Alexander addressed those who would call negative reactions to his words "oversensitive." And this got me thinking, because I agree to some extent that as a society we've gotten so precise in our political correctness that making a joke can feel like traversing a minefield - you're always going to offend someone.
