I never even heard of "duck dyNASTY", for reals....

until I saw the posts in GD a few days ago.... still didn't understand what the hell it was all about and didn't pay to much attention.

But now, they are in my consciousness and I'm glad the bigoted ass got the boot.

It's been easy to throw their libertarian leanings back at them...

But, this guy ENTERED INTO A CONTRACT with A&E. If he hadn't violated the terms of the contract, they'd have no grounds to fire him, would they?

Certainly, MY employer won't let me go public to tarnish their brand while they're paying me, so why is this guy any better?

After American Chopper's first season I lost all interest in those types of shows

The one that is on Bravo. I love Bravo channel and Andy Cohen! I could watch their shows 24/7.

I also like A&G channel with house hunters/ remod stuff.

Reality tv isn't all bad as long as you stick to Bravo and A&G IMHO.

I don't watch reality TV and a show about a family of duck hunters does not appeal to me.

But my Facebook feed was overflowing yesterday with stuff on this twit. Apparently he now has some kind of hero status in the tea bagger community. They do seem to like to rally around pig ignorant dumb shit bigots.

Don't know it was planned that way, but bigots know how to profit from bigotry. Take Limbaugh and all the right/white wing talk shows

There's so much on tv these days. I watch most none of it. They need an outrage for me to know of them.
