Dan Gross: Bam blasts Ebert's Dunn comment

BAM MARGERA'S FIRST public comment on the death of his friend and "Jackass" co-star Ryan Dunn was an angry Twitter post directed at Roger Ebert.

Hours after Dunn's car-crash death early Monday, the film critic tweeted that "Friends shouldn't let jackasses drive drunk."

Early yesterday, Margera posted, "I just lost my best friend, I have been crying hysterical for a full day and piece of s--- Roger Ebert has the gall to put in his 2 cents about a jackass drunk driving and his is one, f--- you! Millions of people are crying right now, shut your fat f---ing mouth."

The irony of Margera telling Ebert to shut his mouth is that the movie critic can no longer speak as a result of thyroid cancer. Ebert later tweeted his regret that his comment "was considered cruel."

Margera flew into Newark from Phoenix yesterday and was driven home to be with family and friends who are all mourning Dunn's passing. A private memorial service is planned for tonight.
