Not that I really care what Depp says, but I think his retraction is bogus. Here's a little demonstration for you...

Xterrapin is like a aggressive retarded adult. He's big enough to really hurt you. You never know what to expect around him. I prefer to teach my kids that Xterrapin is a broken man who has gone insane.

The next day....

Oh, I meant no disrespect to Xterrapin, I owe a lot to him. He's young and is still growing. If my comments offended anyone, please don't let it keep you from going to see my next movie.

I don't think Depp is sincere with the apology. That being said, I'll still go to see his movies. He's a great actor. Not very smart about politics and the real world, but a great actor.
