Adam Carolla doesn’t want to hear that you’re offended by Katy Perry’s “blackface” shoes, and he also doesn’t want to hear the pop star apologize to those who took offense.
As a matter of fact, the reigning king of podcasting would like all of those people calling the black version of her Rue and Ora shoes with a cartoonish face adorned to them “problematic” to “kill” themselves.
The shoes in question, released last summer in nine different colors, were pulled from Perry’s online collection and multiple retail stores after creating a bit of a stir on social media. Below is a tweet we selected for this story as it depicts both the black and beige versions of one style.

Appreciations for Grad’s sharing immediately poured in on Twitter. In the interest of transparency, the baseline for weekly Donnelly streams was pretty consistent but fairly immaterial, aiding in the...

Adam Carolla’s new live Spike TV show debuts Tuesday, so the podcasting king’s already busy days just became jam-packed with final rehearsals. But how does one even run through a live television episode anyway — especially the premiere? In the case of “Adam Carolla & Friends Build Stuff Live,” there’s at least one aspect the guys can nail down.
