In a heartwarming story of cooperation and racial understanding, Spike Lee, the man who single-handedly proved that chunky eye glasses do not make you smart, has reached “an undisclosed settlement” ($KEET $KEET $KEET!) with the Florida couple whose address he accidentally retweeted while trying to incite mob violence against the guy who shot Trayvon Martin. Time heals all wounds. Oh, and also lots of money.
The couple’s attorney, Matt Morgan, announced the settlement Thursday. Morgan says Lee called them to apologize for retweeting their address. Specifics of the settlement weren’t disclosed.
“He was really kind,” Elaine McClain said. “And when he called us, you could just tell he really felt bad about it. And it was just a slip, and I just know that he really, really has been concerned.” [EntertainmentWeekly]
Phew, well I’m glad this case is behind us now.
How much money did he pay them? I’d say about four “really”s worth.

It must have really pained him to give old white people money.
When you risk the chance of getting old white people killed for no reason other than your trigger happy fingers on a keyboard and your blinded by hatred heart then you deserve to PAY UP ! Hey Spike – Dig the hat, man..
In Spike Lee’s Brooklyn neighborhood four “Reallys” is equal to one “Fo’sho” and half a “Respect!”
This isn’t what old white people in Florida mean when they say they enjoy seeing a spike in their Medicare payments
Who’s the more miserable dick – Sean Penn or Spike Lee?
Miracle at St. Petersburg!
Spike’s producers were afraid of alienating aged Floridians so close to the release of Oldboy.
I motion to have his name become a adjective.
To act in a pompous, doltish manner: spikely
His stare says “I see through your white lies.” and “Nothing frightens you more than an intelligent black man.”
His hat says “I take great pleasure in devouring a giant bag of dicks.”
They wouldn’t let him pay them off with Knicks tickets because that nice Chinaman got hurt.
Lucky for Spike that he didn’t tweet McBain’s address. “And now I will shoot the right thing.”
Settlement consisted of a pair of Knick’s colored knee high socks and 12 copies of Bamboozled on VHS.
It’s gotta be the hat.
