“He’s the only man I’ve ever known that can strap a bucket of fried chicken on his back and ride a motor scooter across Ethiopia.” – Jim Cornette
While Cornette was giving color commentary on a broadcast of NWA Power during a match between Nick Aldis and Trevor Murdoch (two Caucasian performers), he made a joking comment about one of the competitor’s toughness. This is the comment that has him in such hot water.
“Effective immediately: Jim Cornette has resigned from the National Wrestling Alliance. As an announcer on the November 19th edition of NWA Power, Jim made remarks during a singles match between Nick Aldis and Trevor Murdoch that were both offensive and do not meet the high standards of decency and good faith of the National Wrestling Alliance,” the NWA said in a statement.
Just what does Big League Politics mean by “Color” Commentary? Sounds like they need to be boycotted!!!
And by the way, does the NWA really think they have high standards?
Aaaaannnnnnd in other news… A nuclear bomb was accidentally detonated in Ethiopia today.
Three people died and four million ran to eat the mushroom.
…NWA, huh?

What do you call an Ethiopian with a yeast infection?
^^^a quarter-pounder with cheese.
“No Ethiopians were harmed in the execution of this joke.”
Let me guess – if he had said “watermelon” instead of “fried chicken” it would have been OK?

…Cartman already covered this territory…

…if the metaphor were “He’s the only man I’ve ever known that can strap a cross on his back and ride a motor scooter across Ethiopia.”, would he STILL have been fired? I mean, that’s even MORE dangerous than the “chicken” thing in Muslim lands, and WAY more likely to make the “leaders” who are CAUSING the “famine” to try to kill you, TOO…
…I don’t get this joke. Didn’t Michael Jackson and a bunch of liberal musicians solve the whole “Ethiopian Hunger” thing back im the ’80s with the power of music?

…so this is not possible, since we ALL know liberal do-gooderism solves EVERY problem…
According to the article, he was a liberal and a serial Trump attacker.
Let him have a nice big gulp of his own medicine.
The best thing about getting a blowjob from an ethopian chick is you know she’s gonna swallow.
“… he was a liberal and a serial Trump attacker.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably still is. Hundreds of guys shuffled to Stalin’s scaffolds knowing (and admitting) that they were guilty of something – they didn’t know WHAT – but they knew they were guilty of SOMETHING!

What do you call an MRE? Meals refused by Ethiopians.
^^^MRE manufacturers only make what the Government TELLS us to make, THEY specify all that, so you’re “Beef”, or lack thereof, is with THEM, @ geoff the aardvark…

“The best thing about getting a blowjob from an ethopian chick is you know she’s gonna swallow.”
…perhaps, but what if she decides to BITE, too? They don’t have a TRADITION of cannibalism, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t possible to LEARN, and hunger can be QUITE the motivator for LEARNING…
Man, that’s a real zinger. I have to add that to my routine.
Sorry, it was funny. It was insensitive because starving people…and shouldn’t have been said on air, blah blah blah, however… I hear the same kind of jokes done by Black comedians.
Shit, I made those jokes as a kid. And it was usually followed by, “Why are people donating so much money and food and clothes and they’re STILL HUNGRY?! ”
This is 35 years later, and now we know why. Tribal warfare and centralized gubmints. But hey, the same questions are still being asked and the same jokes are being made. Right?
In conclusion. FTG if he’s a never Trumper, but it was still a funny comment.
And who is taking scripted wrestling seriously anyway?
“Did you hear about the Ethiopian who fell into the piranha pool?
He ate half of them before they could pull him out.”
“What do Yoko Ono and Ethiopians have in common?
They both live off of dead Beatles.”
…here’s a bunch more…

The “National Wrestling Alliance” has standards of “good faith”?
(Other than Donna Brazile) Whoda thunk?
He made the mistake of calling them Ethiopiens. South Park (I think?) did an entire episode on this waaaaaaaaay back when (or was it Beavis and Butthead?) and cracked allllll kinds of Ethiopian jokes and got away with it. By calling them Ether-nope-ians.
Should have said “Chicago” instead of Ethiopia.
What do you call a forty pound Ethiopian?
Fatso..
Yeah, because…the NWA has such a huge following in Ethiopia.
The Ethiopians are actually more into goat subjugation.
