:naughtyAs to a false assertion.... guess that is in the eye of the be-scolder....eace
Did the one million mom boycott of JC Penny over hiring a lesbian comic as a spokesperson have much affect?
How about the boycott Chik-fil-a over the anti-gay remarks by the owner?
No and NO
A&E takes it in the shorts:
The overnight ratings are in for Duck Dynasty. One week ago, DD topped all of cable’s ratings with 8.885 million viewers. Last night, they free fell down the list to 2.521 million viewers.
That is a drop of 6.364 million viewers, or 71.6%.

I am intolerant of your being intolerant of my intolerance to gays and the gay agenda.This comes down to one simple issue, was Phill suspended because he is religious, or because he is intolerant?
I'm tolerant of your religion, I'm intolerant of your intolerance.
Not even close to this backlash.
I am intolerant of your being intolerant of my intolerance to gays and the gay agenda.
Basically, get over it.
No, as our language and words have a specific structure and meaning behind them that makes it clear that he was not making a comparison between gays and perpetrators of bestiality. Not even close to this backlash.
Maybe it takes religion to make people see the real world.
Wtf?To your mind perhaps, to many others it was an all are sin of equal weight.
:dohOn that one show, but last I looked A&E does 24 hour programming. So one show on one airing is a trend? Now realistically the show is over on A&E, some other network will gladly take it over, maybe the CBN bunch. I'd say the folks at A&E did what they felt was proper, the Duckers will do what they need to do, capitalism shouldn't be so worshiped that folks who don't want to associate have to. Let them part ways, both will continue on. Who knows what mindless dribble will replace this mindless dribble.... never underestimate the viewers acceptance of pap.
Dunno, I haven't watched A & E in years. But I do know that TV shows come and go. Tastes in entertainment change and A & E was strong before this show and will be solid after. The fantasy that A & E will crash and burn without this show is just that "fantasy" Most who turns off A & E today because of this will be tuning in to them down the road, sure thing.
Wtf? And? That is true. They are all sins. At least we know one is an abomination. The others? But he did not compare gays to perpetrators of bestiality. To say so is a false statement. Which is an indication of the backlash that you are obviously and willfully ignoring.
I watch intervention regularly and Storage wars on occasion on Netflix, but I do watch em.No it wasn't. THe 17% spike in ratings that Duck Dynasty brought them carried them from bottom dweller to ranked #7. Without Disk Dynasty they will sink into obscurity again. But it's a nice touch to preface your assuring prediction of A&Es future with the admission you haven't the slightest clue about A&E and its programming. :doh
You know how Christians "love the sinner, hate the sin".....
I love the Christians, hate the intolerance.....
I watch intervention regularly and Storage wars on occasion on Netflix, but I do watch em.
But it's the libbos who are being intolerant here, and God knows we're all gay atheists.
Next those who see the comparison see it clearly and those who don't are just as sure.
Not that liberals can't be intolerant, but what is it you think "libbos" are being intolerant of?
No. ?Remember when we all hated Nexflix?
And you are not providing anything that we do not already know. That is not a comparison. He was talking about sins.Here is the statement many think compares Homosexuality to bestiality- "Start with Homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men"
Clearly you are wrong, and are ignoring context. Just as you were ignoring the backlash.First by the looks of his grammar I'd say your attempt to use grammatical rules is a non-starter as he damn sure doesn't follow those rules!
Then they are seeing things, or are just plain stupid as no such comparison was made.Next those who see the comparison see it
Did I say it was a trend?As far as backlash goes, one airing does not a trend make,
Utter nonsense.you are trying to declare victory
Bet all you want.But I'll bet you that tophat in a month some other drivel will fill the slot and who knows how many people will tune in...
You seem to have left out those who think gays are people but believe A&E was wrong in their decision.The thing is that everybody has made up their mind on this. If you think gays are people too, you think it was right. If you think gays are the spawn of Satan, you've already decided that A&E is violating the First Amendment.
A&E started a show with a bunch of southerners and now people are surprised that they are Christian and not really gay friendly. Gee, how did they miss that?Remember when we all hated Nexflix?
It will blow over, and I suspect they will come out stronger in the end. Yes they may lose some southern Christians, but I suspect they will gain viewers in the LGBT crowd. Like I said, A&E could sell DD to CMT, reap the windfall, make new shows that cater to their audience and everyone wins.
Think you nailed it Southern!
I don't see how everyone doesn't see it that way. What happened to common decency? That is really what this is all about. You would not think such a concept would be controversial.
