• Transcript from the nationally broadcasted Loveline (note:  this was taken from an online newspaper article, so I'm pretty sure it's accurate.  If you want to see the actual article go HERE)

  
  

  Dr. Drew: I wonder if Hawai'i has weathermen.

  
  

  Adam Carolla: I'm sure.

  
  

  D: Cause it's the same everyday, no matter what.

  
  

  C: Maybe they don't. Hawaiians are too dumb. They can't figure out barometric pressure. They don't know what that means.

  
  

  D: They have wind some days.

  
  

  C: Here's the problem with weather in Hawai'i. There's a bunch of big words.

  
  

  D: Yeah.

  
  

  C: And they can't handle big words over there, because they're the world's dumbest people.

  
  

  D: Well, they can't (sic) handle big words, but they must have three letters.

  
  

  C: Yeah, they handle big words, but it's got to be the name of a fat chick or some drink. They don't do science. Close your eyes and picture all the great Hawaiian scientists over the years. (Laughs) They're retarded people. They stay on the island. They're in-bred, obviously. They're the dumbest people we have.

  
  

  D: I have met some smart South Pacific people. Not who lived there.

  
  

  C: People are smart enough to move. Everyone close your eyes and think of all the amazing contributions the Hawaiian scientific community has made over the years. (Long pause) Uh ... They're stupid people.

  
  

  D: All right. Let's hear from them. Let's hear what they have to say. It'd be interesting to hear what they have to say.

  
  

  C: What, the Hawaiians? First off, they don't know how to dial the phone. They can't call. They don't know what they're doing. They have big calves. That's all. They're stupid people. We really should start bringing some of them in 'cause they're strong. They're a strong, sturdy breed.

  
  

  Alright, as someone who is from Hawaii, I don't know whether I should laugh or be offended.  Yeah, I understand that it's mean (especially those inbred/retarded comments...what's up with that?), but at the same time, you gotta admit that it's also kind of funny.  I've listened to Loveline before (sadly) and they've poked fun at everyone.  Why is it that Adam Carolla can have "The Man Show" which has girls in skimpy little outfits, jumping around on trampolines and stripper poles, not to mention all the times those Loveline guys have dissed other races of people as well as jocks, truckers, cheerleaders, and celebrities, yet I don't get any chain letters or emails from outraged people trying to defend the truckers and strippers?  But apparently, when they diss locals and Hawaiians, OMG they've gone too far...come on guys...let's be fair.  Just yesterday I heard a million Irish jokes, and no one emailed me wanted to protect Irish rights.  Unless people are willing to be morally offended by every and all un-PC or anti-people comments, they really should not complain.  I'm Chinese, and I am portrayed as either the nerd, the drycleaner, or the owner of some out-of-the-way asian supermarket.  And thats fine, because come on, life is funny.  *Sorry if any of my comments offend any of those who read this.
