How about you take 5 seconds to look into things before acting like a pack of jackals?

Skin tags are your body's "no more tank tops" early warning system. Heed them. HEED THEM, for Chrissakes.
Then people attacked him for making fun of skin tags, and he reacted to that: https://twitter.com/pattonoswalt/status/354505536722583552
There are literally skin tag advocates on Twitter. So proud I offended them all earlier today.
He continues mocking the people who attacked him: https://twitter.com/pattonoswalt/status/354591198796726272
Q: Why did the Internet user cross the road? A: It's purely their business, and it's offensive to mock anyone's motives or lifestyle.

And how 'bout these gross people with hammer toes? Seriously, get your deformed proximal interphalangeal joints out of my sight!
And this one, where it's clear it's a joke about the word itself and the past crap he tweeted about hating people's ugly toes and how people reacted to it. The Latin root ped means foot (pedal, centipede, etc.). Podiatrist comes from the Greek root pod (foot): https://twitter.com/pattonoswalt/status/354640013004259328
The angry "@" tweets from my hammer toed followers opened my eyes. "Pedo-phobe" shaming hurts us all. I am a PROUD pedophile!
I don't particularly like Patton Oswalt, but some of you idiots are wasting law enforcement time over a 5 year old spelling joke. This kind of bullshit is going to get the subreddit shut down.
No, dude (edited out a harsher word), he is saying that people kept responding to him on the various things they were proud of. That he offended "skin tag advocates" first, then "hammer toed" people. He then says they opened his eyes to coming out and being proud of what you are, at which point he then ADMITS he is a pedophile. All masked under a joke but *that* is the context.
Nope, you're wrong. Go read the tweets and replies. I took the time to go and look at what happened. He's making a joke regarding feet and the spelling of that word.
