Singer and proud ex-convict Akon got in some trouble over a video of him simulating rape with a minor at a concert in Trinidad, and instead of the normal public apology, he decided to release the 2007 single "Sorry, Blame It on Me." Don't be fooled by the title; here is a sample of the lyrics: "I'm just a singer trying to entertain. Because I love my fans, I'll take that blame. Even though the blame's on you." Classy.

He then issued another apology onstage, promising not to play the "media game" anymore. No word on whether he still considers his penis a white supremacist.

But could we have guessed how unapologetic he would sound when he delivered it? Brown appeared on BET's 106 & Park to say that he was "disappointed" in his behavior, but proceeded to blame the show for "exploiting him." Someone let this man know there's only one victim in this scenario: the window.

While President Obama addressed a joint session of Congress to outline his proposal for reforming health care, House Republican Joe Wilson shouted, "You lie!" when the president denied that the legislation would cover illegal immigrants. Later, the South Carolina representative said in a statement: "While I disagree with the president's statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility." If he really meant it, he would wear a muzzle.
