A TEAM of experts currently analysing a racist tirade by former
professional wrestler Hulk Hogan have announced that the abusive
language used by Hogan is still miles behind the shit your dad comes out
with at times.
Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, was recorded making the damning
outbursts during a conversation with a friend’s wife in 2008, recordings
of which emerged earlier last week.
WWE, the company which Hogan rose to fame with during the 80s, were
quick to sever all ties with the disgraced star and scrubbed all
references to him from their website, merchandise stores, and upcoming
video games.
Excerpts from the expletive-laden recordings have recently come to
light, leading experts to announce that the Hulk’s use of racist
language is about on a par for most white men in their sixties, and well
below the level of racism that your dad displays when he’s driving
through town looking for a parking space.
“On a scale or one to ten, one being Maya Angelou and ten being your
dad, Hulk’s outburst comes in at about a six,” said Ian Masterling, a
racism analyst with the UN.
“It’s certainly not on the level of the conversation your dad had
with your uncle about foreign nationals claiming social services, and
miles away from what your dad said about the nurses who were looking
after your gran when she was ill. Compared to those, Hulk is a bastion
of racial tolerance”.
In the days following the news of his racist rant, Hogan has gone to
great lengths to repair his shattered image with a series of repentant
tweets and statements, as opposed to your dad’s staunch insistence on
starting every second sentence with the phrase ‘I’m not racist, but…’.
