Here's that video. His douche friend should have hit him harder. So Shia LaBeouf has issued an apology for the above video via his spokesenabler. Oh, who cares? It's not like it's going to affect his career. He's a white man. You have to do something really effed up to destroy your career if you're a white man. Like be a black woman and flash your tit at the Superbowl. That chick STILL hasn't recovered what she lost.
"The videotape that is currently being circulated is several years old and captures Shia playing a game among friends in which he uses a derogatory word toward a friend," LaBeouf's rep tells me exclusively. "He regrets having used the word in any capacity and is very embarrassed that this footage is being seen by anyone," his rep said in a statement.
It doesn't look THAT old. He probably made this at a "I'm acting opposite Optimus Prime" party.

Jeesh, we live in an effed up world when you have to police yourself in the privacey of your own home. God help us if there's video of any of us being drunk, stupid, young, immature and what we say in those moments. I know I would be guilty of saying a lot of "bad" things. I think the context of this video needs to be taken into consideration. As a gay man, I'm really not offended. I'm more offended by what Prez Bush is saying and wannabe Prez McCain than what Shia said a few years back while drunk and what would be presumed to be a private party.

oh my god... what a world we live in! who amongst us has not used poor language when in the company of friends? ...AND IN YOUR TEENS! if this vid is several years old, then Shia was in his teens. i would hope none of my teen partying was posted online and agonised over by the world. get over it everyone, he used the word "faggot". if you think this word is gonna go away, you are dreaming. really, people probably use the word now and don't even think about it's usage; it is just a "power word", like "fuck".
man, we live in a wussy world.

I'm gay. I have a lot of straight friends. They've playfully called me that -- just as I've playfully called them "Breeders."
People were making it out to be malicious, as if he were standing over a gay man with a baseball bat. In THAT situation, I would've totally had a problem with the use of the word.
Another case of the media painting an ugly picture.

BRILLIANT, as always, Mr. Harvey.
