I wish people would learn a little about how to craft and apology. Saying "I didn't mean to make light of what happened" when that is exactly what you did, conveys only insincerity and makes the rest of the statement sound insincere. Just say you are sorry, it was a stupid and insensitive thing to say, and thinking back on it, you only now realized the pain it must have caused survivors and relatives to hear such stupidity come out of your mouth. You will learn from this and hopefully come out a better person by learning from this mistake.

Saying you "didn't mean to make light" is NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY

He has such a base sense of humor, it's not surprising that he chose this tragedy for a punchline. He's doesn't get a pass on this one.

Ironically, it was probably funnier than any joke that this clown has ever delivered in his entire career.

He knew what he was doing. He hasn't been relevant in a long time after those bombs he made otherwise known as Employee of the Month and Good Luck Chuck.

He knew doing this would get him attention. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Dane is still a douchebag.

Jokes are usually tasteless. The joke was chuckle worthy in an awkward sense, way too soon, but I'm not going to get my panties twisted--doing so wouldn't change anything, and wouldn't prove anything.

You are still a douche bag. You're only apologizing because of the backlash. You only told that "joke" because you are pathetic and needed attention.

No ill will intended, I'm sure, but VERY bad judgment call, especially with most of the victims not even buried yet (and if if they were, still a bad call).

I was there for Dane Cook’s special guest performance at the Laugh factory (July 25). For the record he asked the audience if they were willing to hear a Batman Movie shooting joke. The audience gave him the OK.

God old fashioned Publicity.

The fact that he did it shows his true character. He is not a good person. He showed who he is. His apology means NOTHING !

Too bad that "apology" came from his publicist and wasn't written or spoken by him.
