Backwood Savages, I hear they call them.....and way far south, they call some "bald headed chicken folkers"....

In NJ, we called them Pineys. In PA, we called them hicks.

Never seen the show (in fact, never even heard of it until now). I have no interest in it. I call all of it Television, and it's why my TV never comes on except once a year for the Superbowl. I've got books to occupy my leisure time.

Ha ha. Atleast they are fictional characters...and who doesn't love Bubbles?

 

[oldspark]

I thought they were supposed to pray for all of us that are going to hell not hate us.

My sons love him.

Hate does have real consequences. You have to wonder how many Americans and others are alive today because of this guy....yet he was hated to death (literally)....

Agreed. Peace be with you all.

Well in the end its all about money. A&E can protect their image but it will make them poorer.

I laugh as we all like to use the modest term same sex marriage. I would like for a news organization report on what a same sex marriage couple guys do to each other.

Now that would be in its self a reality show.

I don't want them reporting what opposite sex folks do to each other, although I will take a wild stab and guess that you have seen, heard or know what two same sex gals do to each other???

Without getting graphic, will you give me a simply yes or no on that one? I will admit to having seen it.......as well as lots more! That's entertainment.
(note - we are going to stop right around here...just wanna see if Dog speaks the truth)......

Hey Webbie for your pleasure I have seen what two gals do, I am no saint.

Yes lets not take this further as this topic is heading for the bin.

And I do watch DD as I like those hill jacks as being pretty down to earth.

As a side note did you know the producers of Duck Dynasty produce another show. I guess thinking they could have another big hit. Its called Porter Ridge.

Now if you think any ole hill jack can act think again that Porter Ridge show is pretty lame.

Is it PC to use the term hill jack?

Did I offend anyone? LoL

 

[webbie]

Ah, just making sure.....you were being honest....

Personally, I don't even like watching Kim K on the news or any other of the same sex, single sex, hereto, homo or any other form of it on the news.........

I don't know what a hill jack is......so it's OK. I'm a socialist liberal commie money-grubbing commune-dwelling, new england hippie who came from Philly, so what do I know?

Merry Christmas And let's hope the new years brings fewer graphic discussions and pictures of personal stuff in the media.....even the stuff you like should be "on demand" only......


Viva La Difference....as long as they don't show old people like us doing things, I'm fine......

Anyway, as I said before, this whole thing isn't worth an intelligent debate. It's show biz. The debate can happen on it's own based on the law and the US Constitution...as well as current social norms. As Thomas Jefferson so clearly said:
"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg"

Me thinks old TJ, if alive today, would feel the same way about these types of issues. When they "break you leg", you get to complain....

 

[Hogwildz]

I say shoot all reality show participants.
When they came up with a show with Honey Booboo, that was the last straw.
Lets reward stupid with lots of money. Shat really got arse backwards in this world.

Hah Hah, Mike "morality" clauses in Reality TV? That's pretty funny. Next thing you know, Disney will tell us Miley has the same clause and that twerking is not OK.......


I just laugh about stuff like this. Taking it seriously and debating it is sorta silly. I think PC has gone a bit too far in our media culture.......after all the Duck guy said he sexually sins also. So if someone is ignorant enough to think most any sex (or many) sex acts are "sinful", it's no surprise that they don't like gay sex! This guy is probably praying for forgiveness for his own wanking...am I allowed to say that here?
Well, yeah, I guess...as long as no one takes the ball and runs further. Point is, if you believe we are born in sin and most everything is a sin, then calling something a sin is not news!

actually A&E does have such clauses in their contracts. I remember a past show (top chef, an a&e product) in which a couple of the contestants had an incident one actually shaved another's hair or beard I forget which after a night of partying (or drinking too much wine or whatever, needless to say the network had the head chef of the show (tom collicio) send the fellow who did the razor work home citing a violation of the morals clause in the contract they had signed prior to the competition. according to the LA times article I read a few days ago this "morality clause" which is there to prevent employees from embarrassing the network is a common thing with this network.

as for Miley, she was no longer a Disney employee when she embarrassed herself. (an obvious marketing stunt which many say worked quite well for her, though I wasn't that impressed with it)

TV networks are brands. They sell scumbags as scumbags. The lovable redneck loses value when he says this stuff.

Sports teams have morality clauses. Now that is ludicrous.

they do this mostly with "reality" shows as the characters aren't "actors" per se, when a scripted thing like a movie is involved its one thing , but with these shows and the folks who are showed not being professionals they have to take their conduct into account.

remember shows that are made off of scripted stuff are not generally associated with the networks like "law and order" or MASH , even though they are they aren't viewed by the general public as so rather just a "Hollywood creation" whereas reality shows are generally directly tied to the networks rightly or wrongly

Hope this thread doesn't get political too fast.....I sense the ash can....

But, interestingly enough, I'm on the Duck guys "side" on this one. There is such a thing as being "too PC" and anytime we open our mouths, we tend to offend someone or some group. All comedy (well, most) is about being offensive......same with sarcasm, etc....

I don't watch any TV, but the once or twice I flipped through DD it was pretty funny......but, again, I was laughing at them and their ways.

But, bottom line, it's more about money than anything else. Free Speech is all well and good, but you have to be willing to accept whatever the consequences of that are. Some celebrities just bow out of commenting about their personal beliefs. Those who don't have to accept that some people (probably a minority) aren't going to like what they say....

Americans seem to enjoy toppling people over. We exalt them and then crush them later.....that's entertainment.

Anyway, the whole thing is a tempest in a teapot. Media fodder. Doesn't matter a lick....I'm sure if each of us here expressed our deepest opinions, we'd offend each other to no end.

Free speech, free love, Free enterprise, Free health care, Freedom of religion, all have consequences which tangle in knots, leading to.........

I dont think the rednecks value was based on his PCness. It would be fair to say he would have never became famous if he was PC.

I guess it comes down to who would you rather have sitting at your dinner table.

Now we are cooking with peanut oil and lets all have samiches. (Quotes from the show)

As Si Robertson would say "Thats a Fact Jack".

 

[Soundchasm]

Does anybody remember Lennon's "bigger than Jesus" remark? There was some real fallout over that. I saw his "apology" clip a while back, and what stuck with me was it was no apology that I could see. I think he explained his remark further and the press headlined it as an apology. But I missed the word "sorry" if it occurred. But that was Lennon doing what he did best, sparring with the establishment.

I haven't watched the show, but I bet it's more profitable for him to let his remarks stand unaddressed. All the media will be parsing and reading-in things that weren't said, and speculating out their kazoos, and that will fill a lot of coffers.

I didn't say "PC", I said "lovable". When he starts being the guy that the bulk of the audience doesn't want to "hang out with"- they lose money on more shows than just that one.

Right or wrong, they DD are laughing all the way to the bank..................

The "PC" thing is way over blown . THe whole thing with the N word , Soon gay will be the G word. As a part polish american(the butt of many jokes) i can give advice to the PC crowd, suck it up, stop cryin and move on to something important.
