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.
Gutfeld exposes the soft underbelly of simple-minded celebs
Why does this matter? As Katie pointed out in her post on Carreys video, Culture and Hollywood trump politics on every issue, all the time. Its important that the Right fights back and exposes Hollywoods hypocrisy and idiocy for what it is.
It’s degree inflation, 50 years ago, a small part of the population got four-years degrees. Now a four-year college degree is equivalent to a high-school degree from 50 years ago.....And a post-graduate degree is equivalent to a undergrad degree from that same time.
Yeah, I noticed that also
Interesting. I did not know that.
Comedians are always the most messed up.
People actually feel they need to respond intellectually to an ass clown moron from Canada?
Agreed, and it stinks. My time in the USAF combined with my TS/SCI would have been enough to land a Federal job. Now they won’t even respond without a technical B.S. degree.
(as in 4 years, not bull stuff)
What jerk?
Name names, be definitive.
Jim Carey sucks, he has always sucked.
Fox news sucks, they suck more they they used too.
Fox is unwatchable but all the others are even worse.
This country didn’t raise him. He is from Canada.
Carrey was born and raised in Canada. But your comment is still true.
A question: Do you find the All Barack Channel (ABC), National Barack Channel, (NBC), Communist Bastard Sympathizer (CBS) as Bob Beckel calls them, and finally the Communist News Network (CNN) more watchable?
You would have think he'd realized he's gone to far when Rosanne Barr told him no one was buying his 'shtick'.
But no......he just kept digging it deeper!
Going the way of Dixie Chicks?
I’ve never cared for that idiot and never watched his movies.
This country did not raise him, he is a Canuck.
A lot of his stuff is stupid, but I always did like The Truman Show. Pity he has to shoot off at the mouth like this.
What is the Truman show? I’ve never heard of it
A movie about a guy whose entire life is on film as a reality show and every one knows it but him. It’s a great movie. Like I said, I wish he’d shut up and let me enjoy it.
