That's disgraceful. Repugnant. I'm thoroughly offended.

Jesse Jackson Wants a Seinfeld Boycott for Kramer Tirade

With a little luck, maybe he can get the show cancelled!

What a maroon.

Exactly. It's payback time for not cowing to the shakedown artists while Seinfield was on the air.

I count on this call to boycott having exactly zero impact on DVD sales.

I'm not suggesting it. It is pretty much accepted that that was the deal. If Seinfeld didn't care ifanyone bought his DVDs then he would not have timed his appearance on Letterman to coincide with their release.

"What's more oddball; watching and not liking or never watching (like me)?"

I'm close to that. I really don't like sitcoms to begin with, so a bad one makes it even worse.

Actually, Seinfield did arrange that (he was there shushing the audience during the sattelite feed with Richards). I think he did it more to protect the reputation of "the show" and possibly to help out a friend than for money-- surely he rakes in plenty of dough.

JJ is trying to get the maximum money out of this. He will milk "white guilt" for all he can get.
After "Kramer" grovels and crawls on his knees to kiss the feet of the great extortioner, JJ will feel that he (JJ) has risen several levels in the ranks of "civil rights leaders".

BTW, isn't it stupid to boycott episodes that were produced years ago?

Didn't Seinfeld get cancelled about ten years ago?

What is wrong with you? Seinfeld was great.

I have seasons 1-6 and will get 7 this Christmas.

What passes for humor today just passes me bye. There isn't one sitcom in the past 20 years I've been interested in watching. My wife and mother (who lived with us for years) watched some years ago. But today, it's things like the Law and Order trio that grab my wife's attention, or a good Western, history topic, or good book for me.

Just bought mine off amazon.....Like blacks buy Seinfeld....Is he calling for a boycott of Dave Chappelle or Chris Rocks dvd's? funny how Paul Mooney is up with Jackson and he uses the "N" word more then anybody. Want to ban the "N" word in Hollywood? What will Chris rock do?

Too bad that when the rev said "Richards is a racist" Seinfeld didn't dust off the old line from the show-

"Not that there's anything wrong with that" (episode when George and Jerry were accused of being homos)

Larry is a big democrat contributor. I won't be boycotting Seinfeld. Love the Sein! Watch reruns daily!

I think Cosmo should have given Jesse the ol'
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[I'd been expecting this ever since Richards' original tirade made the news (the DVD set for Season 7 was due out the next day)....]

LOL. Perfect timing. I think it's a best-seller now on Amazon.

I'm still boycotting Jesse over his anti-Semitic "Hymietown" comment that he never apologized for.

Is there any one word that absolutely no one can utter? I really don't care for the double standard where the brothers can utter a word that will destroy the career of a cracker. I want one word that makes everybody equal because no one can say it.
