[history]
“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson has been fired from the reality program following his controversial remarks in GQ magazine regarding homosexuality.
A+E Networks, parent company of A&E, has released the following statement to Variety:
“We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty. His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community.”

AE wants to be the pro-Anus Enterer channel I gather.
To: Responsibility2nd
The trouble is, the only way a cable-only network can crash and burn is if the reaction is so strong is that folks cancel the whole cable bundle that includes it to drop the channel. Of course, this should accelerate the decision of folks to “cut the cable”, but I’m not sure that can hurt Hearst’s and Disney’s bottom line enough to harm the A&E brand in the estimation of its owners.

How do you “suspend” the head of a family from a “reality” show about his family, filmed in their home and business?
Maybe they’ll make him wear a paper bag over his head. ‘Course, the beard stickin’ out the bottom will be a dead giveaway. :D
To: Blue Turtle
Dear A&E: that was a shark.
Buh Bye!

I just saw this.....Words fail me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A&E prefers the anus. ...so does that make them the Anus & Enema network??? Eeeewww...

I just watched miss congeniality tonight and there was a scene where Miss NY yelled to the crowd “This shows a lesbian can make it to the top”. I have seen that movie at least five times and never seen that scene before. It must have been recently added in or rescued from the edit room floor.
