The A&E Duck Boycott

[Pennywise]

Heehee pennywise. I love Tim curry in that Stephen king classic.

But fags are cigarettes. :/ and we don't smoke fags in America. They do that in England.

I wish your hooters would quit looking at my eyes.

It's hypnotic...My face feels beckoned...

I must concur with the expressed consensus. Those babies put the Joy in Joy Jugs. I suddenly have the hankering for a big glass of milk.

 

[PredFan]

It will be interesting to see if they do boycott once the series starts up anew very soon..

I'm betting they won't.

 

[Big Black Dog]

You can't say that being queer is wrong any more. It isn't allowed. PC police will come and haul you away.

Unless Phil is reinstated to the show, we refuse to watch the A&E Channel!

DUCK STORM: Over Half a Million Sign A&E Boycott After Duck Dynasty Star Is Fired | The Gateway Pundit

Signing a petition is one thing, actually boycotting a show you like is another. I hope they have the conviction to do it but I'm skeptical. I would boycott myself but I never watched it to begin with so......

With the Facebook "boycott A&E" nearing 600K likes, the hand has been dealt....and the Dynasty is holding the "straight" flush...heh heh. They can walk, they can cost the network a fortune by blowing lines requiring dozens of do-overs, they can all say the same thing Phil said and force A&E to fire them all. That would breach the merchandising contract and the Ducks could waddle off to another network. A&E vs. Phil...who you think is gonna blink?

Certainly not Phil.

It appears A&E viewers are step above the average tv viewer in income and education which is probably is a leftover from the days when they actually tried to bring quality programming to television. This may explain some of the viewer reaction to the comments.

60.2% own their own home
They have a median household income of $80,197
29.7% have 4+ years college

I have bought DD duck calls for gifts and I go to their web site. Buying from a store pads the A&E pockets. I applaud Phil for his courage in saying what he said.

Would I have said it exactly like he did? No, probably not. But it his right to express his religious is comment about blacks being happy in his youth can hardly be construed as racist. He has a black grandson that he obviously loves dearly.

He didn't even say it was wrong.

Unless there is more to it, all I heard him say is he doesn't understand how any man can prefer another man's ass to a woman's vagina. Which is pretty much how every straight man on the planet feels.

 

[PixieStix]

I don't watch Duck Dynasty, not my thing.

But I am very curious to know, if anyone has seen the questions posed to Mr Robertson by the GQ interviewer?

 

[JimH52]

It's time for a come to Jesus moment with these shrieking queers.....no place better then this one.....ever heard the expression "fuck a duck"? Well, A&E took it seriously....OOPS! WRONG DUCK. With the Facebook "boycott A&E" nearing 600K likes, the hand has been dealt....and the Dynasty is holding the "straight" flush...heh heh. They can walk, they can cost the network a fortune by blowing lines requiring dozens of do-overs, they can all say the same thing Phil said and force A&E to fire them all.

The Robertson family will hold to their religious convictions. They are not in this game to get rich. They were wealthy even before DD. A&E's convictions are simple....M O N E Y.

Their decision to cut Phil out will be their loss. I expect the entire family will walk away if Phil is not reinstated. And even if he is, the Robertson family is holding the high cards right now. They may say enough is enough and let A&E swing in the wind.

Well, that is just gay

A&E is so dumb, that they turned down Breaking Bad.

I've been finally watching that, I'm up to the part where it ends with 1/2 a face ..

I haven't turned to A&E since this began. For ANY show. And I won't. I hope there are millions like me.

 

[Harry Dresden]

When Walking Dead returns in February A & E wouldn't give a rat's ass about any boycott.

yea and when Longmire returns a few months after that....

Walking Dead is not doing so well in the ratings. You can only see so many zombies get stabbed in the head.

i dont think so Misty....last season they were grabbing around 12-13 million viewers a show....thats pretty good....and thats up from the previous season...

 

[Harry Dresden]

Some of the sponsors are threatening A&E too.

The network is shitting themselves right about now.

Maybe the show will go to Fox..they believe in "non-hypocritical" and "balanced" freedom of speech....

yea and they also cancel good shows without giving them a chance or good support...

 

[Harry Dresden]

The Duck Dynasty stars were boycotted by Christians because of their wine trademark also.
So you not only have gays, remarried people, blacks mad at Phil, you also have the Christians.

why?.....priest drink wine....

 

[Avatar4321]

i think the boycott is a bit misguided. If we are going to boycott something because of this piss poor decision on their part, we should be boycotting everything on A&E but Duck Dynasty.
