Hat Tip to Pam's House Blend:
Blake Shelton, country Music Star and judge on the NBC reality singing competition show "The Voice" got himself in some hot water last night. He tweeted:
It seems many of his Twitter followers and fans didn't find jokes about homophobic violence as funny as he did. And he heard from them.
Eventually he heard from GLAAD as well. But he kept digging:

Eventually, he got not to China, but to an acceptable expression of remorse and understanding for the unfortunate consequesces of careless language.
More on this at GLAAD's blog.
GLAAD thanks Blake Shelton for sending the strong message to his fans and the public that he recognizes anti-gay violence is unacceptable, and hopes he’ll be able to further lead by example by working with his young, gay mentee this season on The Voice.
No worries pardner. Ain't no shame in sayin' "My bad!" We all do it sometimes.
