Adam Carolla is at it again.
The radio personality, who we sort of fondly remember from Loveline, made headlines in August when he went on an anti-gay and -trans rant.
Carolla, discussing a rumored marriage between Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie, said, "When did everybody get fucking lumped in with the gays? Really? What percentage is transgendered?"
He went on to trash FTM people, saying, ""Every time I see Chaz Bono, my cock looks at me and says, 'Wha?" and came to the charming conclusion that LGBT people should "shut up" in regard to their rights.
Now Carolla has Occupy Wall Street in his crosshairs.
A podcast that the comic recorded in October is getting massive amounts of attention thanks to his rich white guy's opinion on the protestors around the country.
"There's something that's come up in this country that didn't used to exist, which is envy, and it's a big issue," he said. "We are now dealing with the first wave of participation-trophy, my-own-fecal-matter-doesn't-stink, empowered... everybody's-a-winner, there-are-no-losers -- we are dealing with the first wave of those fucking assholes. That's who we're dealing with now."
"It used to be, back in the day," he went on, "father'd be walking his son down the sidewalk and you'd see a guy go by in a Rolls Royce and the father would say, 'There goes Mr. Jenkins. Look up to him. That guy works hard. That guy built a company. That guy built an empire. Now look at him. He's got his Rolls Royce.'
"Now it's like, 'Oh! Look at him. Does he need that car? Why does he need that car? I'm driving a fucking Chevette. Why does he get to drive that fucking car? Let's go and throw a fucking rock at it.' That's not going to help you get out of the Chevette, ass douche. Get the fuck to work."
We can't take anything that the guy says seriously, but if you're looking to get riled up, you can listen to the whole speech below.
