Nine pages. Time for a B2K break: I non-ironically enjoy some of B2K's shit. This one in particular: It's mostly nostalgia factor, but dammit Omarion is a dope artist. "Touch" is one of my favorite beats from The Neptunes.

I was never really into B2K. How about Ruben Studdard's Sorry 2004? In just a few weeks, 10 year anniversary, I say remix!

I used to think it was so strange that '2004' was actually in the lyrics of the hook haha. Also the "all them strip clubs/all them hot tubs" lyric used to get a laugh out of me because the whole song just seemed to out of character based on how he appeared on American Idol. EDIT: Is this the thread where I end up completely embarrassing myself? haha I saw You Got Served in theaters and have a soft spot for how corny that movie is. I distinctly remember the kung-fu sound effects they used when dude got beat up and robbed. Also the dance battles are pretty cool, especially the first and last one. Of course they're completely dated by now, but oh well.

Some songs get dated after a few years, that song was dated the moment it came out, lol. It lives on in the hearts of us all.

Be careful, though; you're comparing apples and oranges. In an ideal world, I think all politicians would be held to insanely high standards on issues like this; however, politicians are responsible to their constituents. If a congressperson, for example, said something this ignorant, it would be in the hands of the voters in his/her district or state to decide his/her fate (the rest of Congress, meanwhile, may condemn what the congressperson said or censure them, but that's about the extent of what they can do). As for Penn, he could certainly be subject to boycotts, as well; that's up to the general public. But he's not a TV actor with a hit show on cable, hence him saying something one might consider awful doesn't wind up reflecting on an entire channel; that's baggage that most movie actors don't have to carry, fair or not. I'm pretty sure Penn torturing Madonna is worse than a few misguided comments. Honestly, this guys comments aren't even that bad in comparison to some of the shit that gets said by public figures daily. I didn't say it wasn't; I wasn't passing a value judgment on who did the more terrible thing, I was pointing out why a guy on a highly rated cable show often has to deal with more baggage over what they say in public than movie stars do. Plus there's the fact that Penn's awfulness was conducted in his private life...no, that doesn't make him any less hideously at fault for the awful things he did, but saying something to a publication knowing it will be there for all to see carries different ramifications than something that happened in your private life coming to public light. So yeah, I never made a value judgment, just pointing out why there's often a disparity in reactions over stuff like this, whether it's fair or not. The second part of your statement is just patently untrue.

I just wanted to say thank you guys for keeping religion out of this and allowing it to stay open. I knew we could have a decent conversation about this, so I thank you all.

Dude was suspended? There's a governing body for Duck Dynasty!? Yes, but the current head of this governing body is a...lame duck. I'll see myself out.

He has a right to say his opinion.
A&E, a TV station owned by private entities and not the government, also have the right to can his ass for his comments. I'm sure it's in his talent contract.
First Amendment protects people from the government. It doesn't protect individuals from their bosses of a private company.
And guess what, commentators have a right to say what they want about him, A&E or whoever else. People have a right to watch or not watch the show. They also have a right to back and support Duck Dynasty.
The free market will decide whether the empire moves on.
For example. AMC has the right to cancel Walking Dead for whatever reason they want. Their ratings will suffer and they'll lose revenue, but that's their right.

I didn't continue on and read the sin part, so that's my mistake. Either way, A&E knew what they were getting when they started this whole thing.

I bet they're all happy this happened in the latter half of December rather than say August or September.

Franklin: "I say our country should allow those to openly criticize their government when their government does not fulfill their capabilities without fear of punishment or death."
*everyone nods and agrees*
Hancock: "What about television?"
Franklin: "What about what now?"
Hancock: "Shouldn't we protect the rights of people who want to say stupid things on television without fear of being terminated or suspended from their work?"
Franklin: "What in the hell is television?"
Hancock: "Oh it's this thing that will be invented in about a hundred years or whatever in which people can witness what's going on in this great country of ours through a transmission of moving images with color and sound."
Washington: "This sounds like an amazing contraption."
Hancock: "Yeah, it's pretty sweet. The only problem is that eventually the American people will become completely glued to television and create a boorish class of citizens who would rather watch programs involving women wearing weaves pulling out other women's weaves than educate themselves with important information."
Frankin: "I like the sound of that."
Hancock: "Yeah, but then some of these people become famous because of their stupid antics on television and as a result, their opinions become magnified and more important because of their fame and fortune. And some of these people's beliefs are gonna really upset others."
Washington: "This sounds terrible! I say nuts to them! We shall not protect their rights to free speech. Let their bosses decide on whether they want their employees' stupid opinions to represent their business and let them decide on suspension or termination of that employee's job. We all agree."
*a round of yays echoes*
Hancock: "Now about the internet. Would any of you gentlemen like to see a Goatse?"

I'd forgotten all about "Sorry for 2004".. Reading a thread about the bigotry and homophobia, of some reality TV dude, and out of the blue, being reminded of a Ruben Studdard song.
Goddamn, I love FAN.

Just had a thought.
We're less than a week away from Christmas. There has to already have been a lot of Duck Dynasty merchandise sold as intended Christmas gifts, much of which is likely already wrapped. Many of these gifts are probably for homosexual recipients as well.
It's gotta suck for the givers to either buy a new present, or explain that they bought the gift before that jerk started poppin' off at the mouth.

Goddamn, I love FAN. I remember "Sorry 2004" only because I thought it was kinda cool that he decided to write an apology song for an entire calender year. Baby, I'm sorry for like...all of 2004. Yeah, all of it. I screwed up a whole ton this year. Like forgetting your birthday. Our anniversary. Telling the vet to euthanize our dog without your consent. Eating peanuts in the bed and leaving the peanut shell crumbs all over the bedsheets even though I know about your peanut allergy. Hitting on your sister at our Memorial Day BBQ. Hitting on your other sister at the 4th of July BBQ. Hitting on your mother at the Labor Day BBQ. Buying the wrong box of tampons. Signing you up for Publishers' Clearing House. Fake my death to avoid taxes and not tell you about my master plan. Yeah, I'm sorry for all of it.

Like he knew he was going to f*** up and figured he'd just take accountability for all the "million ooooooone!" lousy things he planned to do.

I apologize if somebody said something akin to this, but I posted this on facebook and felt it was appropriate here as well...
EDIT: Whoops, I noticed Chuckie above me posted the exact same gist of what I'm saying. Well done, Chuck.

Because I feel like there's some real grey area that can happen doing that. "Sweetie, I want to apologize for what's gonna happen for the next 12 months." "What do you plan on doing?" "Are you gonna forgive me or what?" "Not until you tell me what you're gonna do." "F*** it. I'll just apologize after I switch your birth control with tic tacs."
