Corporate America at it's very best...

They can take their FOOD NETWORK, Emeril and the rest of their IMMORAL Asses out of my living room.

Emeril and the rest of their IMMORAL Asses out of my living room.

You betchya!

As an Eagle Scout myself, I have paid close attention to this issue ever since SCOTUS overturned the Texas anti-sodomy law.

I find it a sad statement of our times when certain adults (i.e. Liberals/Conservatives w/o spines) set a totally confusing example for children. An example where it's pseudo-noble in discriminating against a group that they disagree with rather than supporting that same group that stands by something that they sincerely believe in.

So, don't come to me preaching that crappy cliched "celebrate tolerance & diversity"...

[Rippersnapper]

Can't stand Emeril! We like Iron Chef at our house. This is a bad decision on their part. I think it would have made for a great episode. I guess agenda trumps ratings.

[concerned about politics]

My complaint has been sent. Thanks.

Giada De Laurentiis makes me think impure thoughts...

Separation of church and state is nothing but pc propaganda. They've extended it. Now it's Separation of Church from EVERYTHING.
It has to stop. This is not Communist Red China!

This is one of those things that just needs to be chained emailed to everyone you know so that Food Network gets the point. There is probably one flaming executive up the ladder the blocked the whole thing and thats causing the problem (although I have sorta wondered if a few of those chefs were gay).

[Rastus]

Can't stand Emeril!

I can't, either, for some reason. For some reason, it's annoying the way his audience cheers when he does nothing.

"Now, let's add a pinch of salt. Actually, how about even more salt?"

I like it, but I wish the Japanese version was all in Japanese with dubbing. It's still kind of fun dubbed, though. I also like Unwrapped. The only beef with Unwrapped was their "holiday" episode, where they managed to get through the entire thing only saying the word "Christmas" once, but they had no problem devoting a segment to Kwanzaa. For the record, the only utterance of the C-word was when talking about candy Christmas trees.

[Political Junkie Too]

It's probably because they're new show, from the recent contest "Next FoodTV Star", is Soup To Nuts, with Steve and Dan.

[Tempest]

The leftist agenda is out of control.

[concerned about politics]

It's the new and improved PC rule. Separation of Church and .... everything!

"It went to Scripps for a rubber stamp but got shot down at corporate approval," Maher explained. "Scripps was unwilling to work with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) because of the Boy Scouts' position—policies which they perceive are the Boy Scouts' discriminatory practices on gays."

It looks like Scripps has its own discriminatory practices, against the Boy Scouts of America.
