HuffPo reached out to us to let us know that the original post was removed. In its place was this Editor's Note:

"This entry has been removed from The Huffington Post. In reporting actress Sofia Vergara’s comments comparing her appearance to that of a transgender individual, the story adopted an inappropriate tone. We regret the error and apologize to anyone who was offended."

As a progressive site, it seems like they could have put a little more effort in explaining why the original post was inappropriate. At the very least, it would help to deter speech like that from occurring again.

What's your Instinct?

Yesterday singer Chris Brown became the latest in a long line of male celebrities under fire for derogatory "gay" comments after he argued with paparazzi as he received a parking ticket. "Y'all n****** is weak. Did you all call them [parking enforcement] to try and film me? Y'all n****** is gay (sic)," said Chris.

Follow the jump for the vastly different tune Chris is singing today in the wake of the derogatory outburst.
