Morrissey cancels Jimmy Kimmel appearance, calls 'Duck Dynasty' cast 'animal serial killers'
Fox News ^ | February 27, 2013 | Fox News

Jimmy Kimmel always has the last laugh.

Morrissey learned that lesson on Tuesday night, after the former front man for The Smiths canceled his appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” at the last minute because he learned the cast of “Duck Dynasty” would be guest on the same night.

Never one to back away from controversy, Kimmel addressed the cancellation on his show, thanking the band Churchill filling in for Morrissey on such short notice.

Kimmel read the statement Morrissey issued to explain his refusal to appear on the show.

“[Morrissey] is a vegan and a staunch animal rights activist,” Kimmel explained.

Morrissey stated he could not “morally be on a television program where the cast members of ‘Duck Dynasty’ will also be guests.” He added “as far as my reputation is concerned I can’t take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers.”

Kimmel said Morrissey gave him an ultimatum, saying the comedian had to choose between him and the cast of the A&E show.

“While I respect his stance on this-- I really do— there’s a very good reason why I didn’t dump the “Duck Dynasty” guys for Morrissey,” Kimmel said on the air. “It’s because they have guns, and Morrissey doesn’t.

And the late-night host didn’t stop there.

“He keeps finding new ways to depress us,” he quipped of the musician.

The Robertson guys should take him out and have a snake drop into the boat. Then we’ll see how fast Morrissey (whoever the heck he is) changes his mind.

Still a rockin' song.

But one silver lining to his snub, Denver's Churchill got to play in his place:

Morrissey's gone over the deep end but his song writing and composing abilities are amazing. One of the greatest song writers of rock, IMO. Is It Really So Strange

“[Morrissey] is a vegan and a staunch animal rights activist,” Kimmel explained."

He's also a staunch fag:

"If more men were homosexual, there would be no wars, because homosexual men would never kill other men, whereas heterosexual men love killing other men.”

Morrissey loves animals so much that he has decided to become one. He has morphed himself into a complete Jackass.

Morrisey? Another “entertainer” who goes by only one name since he can’t remember two.

I could be mistaken, but I swear I read him quoted in the 80’s as saying he was a quadrasexual...whatever that is.

From the little bit I heard sounds like a good one. Never heard that before. Music sounds kinda upbeat. Don’t know about the lyrics.

When I go down to the grocery store and walk past the produce section, I see people putting those bags of carrots into their buggies. I can hear the carrots screaming in terror, and I don’t want to even think about what those vicious people do to them when they get home. It makes me sad. SAVE THE CARROTS...SAVE THE LETTUCE...BOYCOTT MORRISSEY!!

(Morrissey who?)

(But you made me HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!)

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/smiths/is+it+really+so+strange+_10217959.html

I left the North
I travelled South
I found a tiny house
And I can’t help the way I feel
Oh yes, you can kick me
And you can punch me
And you can break my face
But you won’t change the way I feel
‘Cause I love you
Oh ...

And is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so, really so strange ?
I say NO, you say YES
(and you will change your mind)

I left the South
I travelled North
I got confused - I killed a horse
I can’t help the way I feel
Oh yes, you can punch me
And you can butt me
And you can break my spine
But you won’t change the way I feel
‘Cause I love you
Oh ...

And is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so, really so strange ?
I say NO, you say YES
(But you will change your mind)

I left the North again
I travelled South again
And I got confused - I killed a nun
I CAN’T HELP THE WAY I FEEL
I CAN’T HELP THE WAY I FEEL
I CAN’T HELP THE WAY I FEEL
(I lost my bag in Newport Pagnell)

Why is the last mile the hardest mile ?
My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes
And I realised, I realised
I could never
I could never, never, never, go back home again

Yeah, that’s why they demanded a right to serve in the military.
