ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel's show off the air for a day because he commented on his show, in a joking manner, that if Detroit wins the NBA championship, the fans in Detroit will burn the city down. Jesus Christ, someone needs a humor transplant. He's right, the people in Detroit (and most other cities that win championships, strangely) DO riot and burn things down when their teams win. It happened in LA a couple years ago too. But talk about misplaced anger. Be bothered by the fact that people act like idiots, not by someone daring to mention that they act like idiots.

It should also be noted here that some Detrioters have an unpleasant tradition of setting fires and subsequently burning down buildings and houses (sometimes intentionally, sometimes not) on "Devil's Night," the night (or second night) before Halloween. At one point in the early 90's, the burned buildings count was somewhere around 50. That's probably the source for the joke.
