“Comedian Natasha Leggero took some heat for a joke she made on national television a few days ago, but on Friday, she took to her Tumblr to explain to her critics exactly why they are wrong.

On New Year’s Eve, Leggero, a stand-up comic who judged a season of “Last Comic Standing,” appeared on NBC with Carson Daly to talk about some of the funniest stories of 2013. One topic of discussion was the infamous SpaghettiO’s tweet, in which the canned pasta’s cartoon mascot asked followers to “take a moment to remember #PearlHarbor with us.”

“It sucks that the only survivors of Pearl Harbor are being mocked by the only food they can still chew,” Leggero quipped.

Several people started tweeting offense to Leggero’s joke, which they took to be disrespectful to World War II veterans.”* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
