¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/28/showbiz/tv/duck-dynasty-ratings-morrissey-protest-ew/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 The return of "Duck Dynasty" benefited from an unexpected gift-from-the-PR-gods when British singer and animal rights activist Morrissey cancelled his planned Feb. 26 performance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" at the last minute in protest of the "Duck Dynasty" stars appearing the same episode. Morrissey called the show's stars — who own a family business that makes products for hunters — "animal serial killers." Kimmel later hit back during his show's Tuesday monologue: "While I respect his stance on this, I really do, there's a very good reason why I didn't dump the 'Duck Dynasty' guys for Morrissey. And that's because they have guns." Kimmel also added of the famously downbeat singer, "He keeps finding new ways to depress us." The host aired a parody video for "a new "Duck Dynasty" product for vegans." The pop singer then countered that Kimmel "found time to jokingly promote gun-ownership — hugely amusing for the parents at Sandy Hook, no doubt. He also promoted his special guests "Duck Dynasty" -- who kill beings for fun. None of the above issues are, of course, as important as Jimmy Kimmel himself, who has finally revealed his show to have an overwhelming loss of meaning. Tune in and relive the intellectual fog of the 1950s." Kimmel followed that up by tweeting yestrerday, "Note to Morrissey — if you have more dumb statements to make, I invite you to make them where I do, on my show." He included in the tweet a link to the cover art for Morrissey's 2004 album You Are the Quarry, which featured the singer wielding a machine gun. holy shit that last tweet response is fucking golden.

jerseydave77 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I once spent two days on the road with his former manager. Oh the stories I can't tell. I find Duck Dynasty too staged and unwatchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3arl Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Morrisey's PR guy has to have the worst job ever. All the guy does is piss off people and disappoint fans. Except that time he helped an old lady in a grocery store, that was nice of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruckis Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Duck Dynasty was great for the first few episodes but now it's totally staged. Their wives are hot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youmightbewrong Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I refuse to buy tickets to any more of Morrissey's concerts. When I was younger, and obsessed with the dude, he cancelled his show twice, the night before. It wasn't for the ducks, either. Fuck that guy.

hipsterasfolk Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I would be torn between Duck Dynasty and Morrissey as well I'm a veg and I'm going to act like my choice of lifestyle is superior to everyone. rambo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobohunter48 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Seeing Morrissey in a couple of weeks. I love his music, but by now I'm indifferent to any statements he makes because nothing is surprising anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkeyelids Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 the guy with the Morrissey avatar couldn't ignore this thread. Although i must say, Morrissey went a tad too far with his latest statements but Jimmy wasnt playing nice either so eh But at least he is staying true to his ideals and what he values most.

saxonviolons Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 What a little bitch. "jokingly promote gun-ownership — hugely amusing for the parents at Sandy Hook, no doubt" What the fuck? Does this guy have no sense of humor? Are people just not allowed to bring up guns anymore? How fucking stupid. Wahhh!! Animal serial killers! WAHHHH!! Jimmy Kimmel is hilarious and a pretty decent dude. One of the last true funny late night shows, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3arl Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 There's a difference between standing up for your morals/beliefs and just being a pretentious dick. Morrisey does not know the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
