Belak will be missed. Williams should be ashamed.

When you think of an Outhouse what usually comes to mind? Usually, dingy walls, putrid smells, and terrifying sights pop up.

This blog, The Outhouse, challenges people, places, things, groups, and anything else to see whether or not they make it through.

The Outhouse got tipped by a comedian who pushed a little too hard and wound up in hot water. Katt Williams, a comedian probably best known for his role in Friday After Next, shouted racist nonsense to a Mexican man in the audience at a stand-up show in Phoenix.

Williams' publicist released an apology on his behalf, but Williams' quickly shot it down. However, Williams claimed in an interview with CNN that he credited his successful career to Mexican people.
That's a strange comment seeming how he also stated that was just spitting out un-altered thoughts.

Comedy allows comedians to go where most people wouldn't dare. What would usually be harsh or repulsive turns into something hilarious or intriguing. But, to me, being a comedian doesn't give you a "free
racism pass." Sure, when Russel Peters makes jokes about his race it's funny, but that's because he's more or less poking fun at himself, or his relatives.

Singling out a man who appeared to be from Mexico and starting a "U.S.A, U.S.A" chant really speaks towards Mr. Williams' intelligence and character.
So because of that, Katt Williams ended up getting tipped over in a brutal accident in The Outhouse.

This week, an extraordinary hockey player made it through. Wade Belak, 35, recently passed away in a Toronto condominium/hotel. Belak had a great career in the NHL as an enforcer, and was respected around the league.
Belak, a first round draft pick in 1994 (12th overall), played for Colorado, Calgary, Toronto, Florida, and Nashville.
Players around the league knew Belak as a stand-up, funny guy who was tough and gritty on the ice, but soft and gentle off-ice.
Belak was also a volunteer firefighter in Nashville, the last place he played.

So, rest in peace Wade, you had a great career, great charisma, a passion like no other, and for that you’ve made it through The Outhouse.

Here a few videos of Wade's goals and fights:
