And his CD's are horrible and perhaps the worst things I have ever heard because he wrote bad checks.
See how ridiculous that sounds? I don't get Keith's perspective on morality. Going back to Polanski, how does the one very bad thing he did mean that all the things he did before or after it are not worthy of praise. Rosemary's Baby is still an excellent movie, as is Chinatown. It just so happens that their creator is a dick. You gotta learn to separate the art from the artist, man.
That being said, I don't know if Tyson has really added anything to the cultural zeitgeist other than biting people and being a laughingstock for the rest of us normal people. But I'm not gonna say he was a bad fighter because he raped a person. Does that make me evil?

Keith paid for his crime. If Polanski paid for his, I'm sure it would be more or less forgotten, or it would be rude remarks made under people's breath at this point. Also, very different scales of crime with very different stigmas.
But I'm with you on separating art from the artist, I still always love Michael Bay movies.
