FFFC

Re: FFFC

  • @RoosterMemphis, All you have to do is go to one good gun show. Just about everything you need for the zombie Apocalypse will be available there.  H and I have already decided that if/when it happens, we're heading to my dad's. He lives in the country, on a hill, with great 360 degree visual, a creek runs through the property, oh and he has an arsenal and several tractor trailers on the property. Don't ask me why he has several tractor trailers. I have absolutely no idea except that he's weird. However we have decided it will be a great place to either hide or store things/bodies.  I have a small .380, that I figure S will be able to handle by the time she is 4 or 5. If she has my sharp shooting skills, a higher caliber won't even be necessary. Double tap, right between the eyes baby!

    Now, who's going for the twinkies?

    I think this might just be flamable to people i know irl but ill confess it. I dont think a&e was wrong taking phil robertson off the air. I also dont think his right to freedom of speech was violated. He said what he said he wasnt arrested but a&e also had the right to essentially fire him.

    I do not agree with his opinion, but he's an old fashioned super religious man from the south...what did they think he was gonna say!?!?!? I disagree with a&e. We can watch them broadcast someone shooting up heroin on "intervention" but they fire Phil Robertson for his opinions in an interview that was off camera and had nothing to do with the network?? He was asked those questions, it's not like he has anti-gay bumper stickers all over his truck. If they want to fire him because they don't agree, then it kinda implies that they agree with the crack heads on their network. Smh.

    If they're going to fire him, there needs to be consistency through the entire network. That's all.

  • @amadarins The interview definitely had something to do with the network. He was doing the interview to promote the show for A&E. Essentially, he was representing their network.


    I'm pretty sure if my boss heard me saying things like that to customers I would be fired too. 

    In regards to the crackheads, well they aren't lighting up and saying Jesus only loves crackheads and we should all do crack. It certainly wasn't glamorized. And, intervention was cancelled. 

    Additionally, saying he is old and Southern and that's why he is a bigoted, homophobic racist is offensive to all the elderly southern people who are not bigoted, homophobic racists.

    Also, am I the only person who is bothered by his racist comments? Why are only the anti-gay comments getting publicity?
    The article I read didn't mention anything about racism. I only heard about the gay comments. I don't agree with his opinion, but it doesn't supeise me. I'm surprised they're firing him when this opinion isn't reflected in the show, considering the stuff they put on the network.

    Their network. Their rules.

    @amandarins @madelinegrace He basically said in the interview that black southerners were happier living under Jim Crow laws. He said he worked with them in the fields and he never heard them complain. Yeah, buddy because black people totally felt safe complaining to  white men in the Jim Crow Era south. 

    Essentially, he thought black people had it better before segregation ended and they had the right to vote. 

    Various people are hypothesizing that the racist comments aren't getting as much coverage because he can't defend those by using his faith. It's being swept under the rug. It's illogical, but people will still think it's ok that he thinks gays are evil, because he's Christian. He can't claim he doesn't think blacks are equal because of Christianity, so it's going under the radar. 

    ETA: Also, A&E can edit the reality show. They probably have a ton of footage of him saying similar things that they choose not to air. I don't watch the show, so I don't know how he is normally portrayed. However, he went off the rails in the interview and they lost control of the situation.

  • I go back to work one month from today. I have officially decided that I don't give a damn about housework or even cooking meals anymore. I am going to get in as many snuggles and cuddles as I possibly can even if it means living in a messy house and ordering take-out several times a week.

    @madelinegrace I saw that this morning too. I don't watch Duck Dynasty, but I love celeb/ entertainment gossip and one of my favorite blogs has been covering the story extensively.

    I don't think the show will be on much longer, if at all.

    I've never seen Duck Dynasty and what I know of the drama I only learned from this and the UO thread.

    Same. I didn't even know it existed until now. I kept thinking people were talking about Huey, Dewey, Louie and Scrooge McDuck.

    Eta: grammar. Seriously.

  • @LJUTCMommy what blog?! I am always on the look out for a good celeb/entertainment site!

    Celebitchy.com is my favorite. Laineygossip.com is another good one.

  • I hate to even keep talking about it because It's everywhere but with the whole duck dynasty mess, I agree he said terrible things, he should know not to voice those opinions since he is in the public eye but it was an interview that was done to make money, the media spins shit all of the time. We only know what was said that gq released, there could have been much more said, he was asked those questions to get that kind of response
  • @sftbllstr87 You should probably go be on Sol's debate team in the UO thread. She's arguing the same point. I'm disagreeing. It's getting heated over there.
