"Edie not gonna host da Oscars?"

[gargoyle]

...TOO HOT IN THE HOT TUB...

[dfwgator]

The Oscars...brought to you by Texxon....because Buckwheat would have wanted it that way.

[Revolting cat!]

Hollywood is for fags. Has been for a long time.

[dfwgator]

“...and then the big brown shark came...”

[montyspython]

My sides are hurting, just so you know.

[Hildy]

if nobody produced it coyldn’t be much worse than it was last year. Just when I think it can’t get worse... It does. Murphy would have been a step in the right direction.

[LibertarianLiz]

Ratner obviously was pushed aside after his (admittedly improper and rude) faux pas; point being, the PC Police wouldn’t accept his apology and move on. Oh no; they had to have his head, too.

Okay, he was improper and rude; but, honestly, don't you go on Howard Stern's show to have the freedom to be improper and rude? Does anyone listen to Howard Stern expecting good behavior or proper language?

[hecticskeptic]

He was doing some interview recently and for some reason, it seemed like he was entirely unethusiastic about the Oscars. It almost seems with the benefit of 20-20 hindsight that he might have been glad for any excuse to drop out.

[pogo101]

Agreed. Or at least, I agree based on what bits I’ve seen from that Stern show. Frankly I’m surprised some radical, anti-sex feminist group isn’t after his head. I took his remarks as largely self-deprecating (except for bragging about being good, um, Down South), if frat-boy juvenile. As you said, though, What do you expect?? on the Stern show.

[SeekAndFind]

He always likes to do the gay scenes.

See here for instance:

Why is this latest Gaystapo crucifixion even treated as news?

Faggies own Hollywood. Stop the presses!

[Vigilanteman]

Feces

That is the main word that comes to mind when I see the word gay....

What a coincidence! It's the main thing which comes to gays when they start probing too!

"The audience for the Oscars has been shrinking. In 1995 almost 49 million viewers tuned in to watch “Forrest Gump” be named best picture, and in 1998, a peak year, more than 57 million viewers in the United States saw the top prize go to “Titanic.”

Is it just me, or is this really sh!tty writing? Number of viewers is down, then cite number that go up! Where's that duck that goes GAAAK?

[bigfootbob]

Sissies all of them...FAGS. There said it.

[Morgana]

I remember that!!!

“Hey boy, you look pretty good in them jeans...”
