Actor Jim Carrey’s “Cold Dead Hand” video unleashed a firestorm of outrage among conservatives and gun-rights advocates—and for good reason. In one pathetic song, Carrey, who enjoys the protection of an armed bodyguard, mocks the nearly 90 million gun owners in this country, Charlton Heston and rural America. Allahpundit over at Hot Air summed it up best when he said the song is “neither funny nor biting” but rather, is “basically an extended dick joke of the sort that’s been thrown at gun owners for decades.” Indeed.
But it seems Carrey couldn’t handle Greg Gutfeld’s criticism on Fox News. The actor released a ludicrous and semi-coherent statement on Friday in response, which called Fox News “Fux News,” and referred to the network as a “giant culture fart,” and a “media colostomy bag.” Wow:
Since I released my “Cold Dead Hand” video on Funny or Die this week, I have watched Fux News rant, rave, bare its fangs and viciously slander me because of my stand against large magazines and assault rifles. I would take them to task legally if I felt they were worth my time or that anyone with a brain in their head could actually fall for such irresponsible buffoonery. That would gain them far too much attention which is all they really care about.
I’ll just say this: in my opinion Fux News is a last resort for kinda-sorta-almost-journalists whose options have been severely limited by their extreme and intolerant views; a media colostomy bag that has begun to burst at the seams and should be emptied before it becomes a public health issue.
I sincerely believe that in time, good people will lose patience with the petty and poisonous behavior of these bullies and Fux News will be remembered as nothing more than a giant culture fart that no amount of Garlique could cure.
I wish them all the luck that accompanies such malevolence.
The Five didn’t let this one go—all of them, including Bob Beckel, took shots at the “comedian’s” remarks. “Our country is great because washed-up comics have the right to suck,” Gutfeld said. “I love the First Amendment—and Twitter especially—for it exposes the soft underbelly of the celebrity simple mind. They undo everything their publicists try to mask.

Why does this matter? As Katie pointed out in her post on Carrey’s video, Culture and Hollywood trump politics on every issue, all the time. It’s important that the Right fights back and exposes Hollywood’s hypocrisy and idiocy for what it is.
Your are correct. My mistake.
I am aware of that. It’s bullshit too.
I was a very high level corporate officer in a top 20 financial services company. Our best managers were either internally promoted front line folks, or former NCOs. If they could grasp the math required for the budget process they were golden.
The rest was teachable or experiential.
Sure the corporate finance guys required different skill sets and training. But, for the most part, your average 24 year old kid getting out of the average state school, would have been better suited for a manufacturing job. If we hadn’t sent them all away. So we send them to “school”, teach them PowerPoint, and give them “service” jobs that are scripted and automated to the point where they are not “allowed” to think on their own.
And we do all of this for $45,000 a year, including room and board.
As parents we are fools for buying into it—and allowing our kids to buy into it. And the kids will spend the next 20 years trying to figure out why it did not work the way it was promised.
I have to say, at least they were smart enough to skip college.
Luckily for me University of Florida is quite cheap for it’s quality. I also was able to use my GI Bill before having to take any loans. I’ll graduate with very little owed and an engineering degree. Out of state colleges for useless degrees are really going to bite some people in the ass.
“Another Hollywood cockroach dissing mainstream America.”
Another CANADIAN cockroach...send his wimpy @$$ back...
Thanks, but like I said I’ve never heard of it.
How can you tell when a “comic” is washed up? He turns to politics.
Preach it brutha.
Mommy forget to change your diapers, Jim?
Is that really the guy who was so funny years ago?
Hard to believe he’s such an a-hole.

I seriously think he has mental problems. I believe he is/was medicated for depression or bipolar disorder. Throw that in with midlife crisis, failed marriage, washed up career, and possibly drugs or alcohol and you have a very bad mix.
That would definitely do it... thx.
43 years (if I make it to May 12) as a Mechanical Engineering Technician at one of the top AE firms in the U.S. Not a single college credit. Try that today.
Your resume would go right in the shredder.
Didn’t Matt Damon also drop out (of Harvard?)
Douche bag Carrey can’t handle the criticism. What a spoiled POS.
The jackass traded humor for the “malevolence” he sees in others.
I wish they’d never killed her in NCIS.
That, my young friend, is EXACTLY the way to do it. My daughter will get out with less than $6 k in debt...which is less than I incurred 30 years ago. Having no debt is like adding $10,000 to your peer group base salary.
Good for you. Good luck.
And thanks for serving.
