So I'm guessing a lot (if not all) of you have heard of the controversy where one of their cast members got suspended or fired or whatever for saying some potentially homophobic remarks.
I've never seen a single episode, but apparently it was the highest rated cable series the last couple of years? Seriously?
Got a few questions/observations.
1. Has anybody seen it, and if so why the hell is it so damn popular
2. Is our media so fucking retarded and dumbed down here in the states that a cast member from some cheesy reality series on A&E warrants THIS MUCH attention over some anti-gay remarks? For fuck's sake this shit has been on the front page of CNN the past few days. Don't we have other shit to worry about? It's like the Miley Cyrus VMA performance all over again. It has absolutely exploded.
3. Ummmm.....yeah I guess that's all.

but instead it was this guy

I like that you mention Miley Cyrus, lol
However in one case people are arguing over whether what Miley Cyrus did was "obscene" or in poor taste, or offensive, and some even think a deliberate attempt by her "handlers" in humiliating her, for whatever reason.
This however is some celebrity who is in no way a politician, and he didn't even say this stuff on air, it's a magazine article.
I have never watched one minute of Duck Dynasty, had to look up on Wikipedia what it is about but maybe people talking about this like some free speech issue need to realize he didn't get arrested, charged or investigated for making such comments, he just faces the consequences of that by a private cable channel. He can say what he wants but A and E can drop his show regardless, people act like he is being beaten and flogged over this issue for chrissake
-------------------- This section of the signature line has been intentionally left blank. we could all use a little more sunshine. yeah, she's funny and somewhat interesting. not a beauty queen, but not bad lookin. i'd feel quite honored to fuck janine garofalo. -tiny_rabid_birds

i've never seen the show, but it would seem A&E has the right to do whatever they want with THEIR business. if they don't want to be represented by his comments then fire his ass. I know the conservatives are super butt hurt over this.

The beheading of Anne Frank? You mean the Jewish, attic dwelling, diary writing Anne Frank? I thought she died of Typhus?
That statement confused the hell out of me. lol

Before I speak on it, keep in mind that I absolutely HATE 99% of TV shows.
1. The show is actually pretty damn hilarious until you found out that its scripted like all the other shows before it. The cast says that they don't read the scripts but I can tell they do a little if not all the time. So basically it's funny if you watch it once in a blue moon.
2. Yes, America's troubled with bull shit and have no real important matters on their mind. Americans are fucking stupid, I want to leave this ignorant country.
3. As Phil would say, "amen".
-------------------- ...also, go to hell, huh?
