Hey, I didn't want to interfere in all this, but in Fred's defense,
he never insulted Tom's kid. He only attacked Tom about his mental
state (and I happen to agree with him), being in such a bad shape he
would run the risk of his kid getting taken away from him by the
authorities or something along those lines. I agree that's harsh, but
Tom's not exactly in need of pity here and if anything is not
insulting to Tom's kid, but Tom himself.

Take a look at the Stephen Colbert roasting of George W. Bush
earlier this year. Pretty low brow humor probably by your
analysis J.T. but I loved it.
no way man i loved that, and it was obviously over the heads of
most attending! i think you are reaching to compare steven
colbert's political humour to your way-too-personal-and-vengeful
insulting of tom's children and mental health, but maybe in person
you would've inflected your words just right...
You are right about the BS aspect of PR. I was constantly
surprised how Jeff Mills and Rich came off in a lot of interviews
as their fame increased. Much differently than their
personalities as human beings.
see that's what i would think....and even if tom is shooting flames
out his nostrils etc expressing his distaste for (over-exposed/
hyped techno celebrity here), i think he responds to reason at
least as well or better than insulting his kids and intelligence
etc...he's just shooting the sh;t...
too much macho
