HORSHAM, Pa. -- Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock is apologizing for cursing, calling teachers pot smokers and making insensitive remarks about "retarded" students during a recent speech to high school students in suburban Philadelphia.

In "A Letter of Explanation," posted over the weekend on his blog, he said it was never his intent to insult or demean anyone.

Spurlock said he is sorry if his remarks offended some in the audience.

Spurlock ate nothing but McDonald's meals for 30 days to make his Oscar-nominated 2004 documentary "Super Size Me."

He spoke for about an hour Friday at Hatboro-Horsham High School to 700 students in conjunction with a health and wellness fair.

Officials considered Spurlock's speech so inflammatory that the principal cut it short and his scheduled evening talk to the community was canceled.

"insensitive remarks"

Gasp!! The horror, the depravity, the un-political correctness of it all! OHHHH woe is me! And calling teachers 'pot smokers' when we all know teachers have moved up to the fine white powdery stuff.

I have no problem with what this man said. The only problem I have is he apologized for saying it. Never apologize and look the outraged right in the eye and say, "I don't give a damn if you don't like it or not!"
