"Boycott A&E"
"Ban Phil Robertson"
Now here's the question that is bouncing around in our, er, house. What is the best way to get HUGE amounts of free publicity? Cause a major controversy of course. How do you do that? Prey on peoples beliefs and feelings. Society has been shifting towards social acceptance of homosexuality. Homosexuals and those supporting their rights have been battling for years now to get them the same rights as heterosexual married couples. So you want to ignite a firestorm? Insult both sides. Then there will be chair chucking back and forth. That will get peoples attention. Just ask Jerry Springer.
Did I insult you? |
“It seems like, to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.” Phil Robertson said in a recent interview with GQ magazine.
I find this very interesting because, in a way, I agree. Ya see I am a straight male. I like women. I like women's parts. I don't like women's parts because it is logical, I like them for what they are. If I was to be logical about it I would have only had sex with my wife once for our one child. And like my wife knows I WANT more sex than I want children. But then again what does love have to do with logic?
Please please please? Come on don't make me beg. |
Is Phil Robertson a representative of A&E? Or is he a very animated character that A&E is using to make money? LOTS of money! I tend to believe the latter. They know his beliefs, they were never hidden. Yes there are repercussions for what you say if you are a public figure, but does that mean that you should stop being you because of it?
CH-CH-CH-CHIA!! |
Over the last few months I have not been able to go anywhere without being inundated with Duck Dynasty merchandise.You can buy copies of the show on DVD to watch again and again, Bobble heads, CH-CH-CH-CHIA, hat, socks, shirts, mugs, Koozies, Segways (yes I said Segway), ties, jewelery and let us not forget what they started with -- DUCK CALLS (QUACK QUACK).
You called? |
So at this point I am interested (sorta) as to what will happen. Will A&E put Robertson back on??... Will Robertson apologize for his comments??... Will Hannah Montana keep twerking??...(I hope not!)
What do you think will happen? Leave your comments below. So, check back later...

P.S. For a great commentary on the view of a gay man who is supporting what Uncle Si said go to Talon Unplugged. It is a great post to read and nice to see positive perspective from someone who could easily argue and rant about. Thanks Talon.
If they didn't want to know what a 67 year old man from the backwoods of Louisiana thinks, they shouldn't have asked him.
ReplyDeleteI like to watch the show, I think it brings up good Christian values and there are not too many to find on tv these days. As for what he says, well it is his opinion, he has a right to it no matter if you like it or not and if you don't want to be open minded and listen then don't ask. But I hate all this stuff they are selling with their faces on. Every time I go to Walmart with my kids we try to find something they haven't put these faces on. I would never buy anything only because it has someone's face on it no matter who you are.
