A&E Suspends Phil Robertson

[BustedKnucklefilms]

I really enjoy watching Duck Dynasty, don't get me wrong, but I hate how Duck Commander/ Duck Dynasty has sold out. Duck Dynasty board game? Robertsons Chia-Pet's? The Si-Pad at Clayton trailer-houses? "Duck Commander" brand selling at Walmart? Next they are going to have Duck Dynasty tampons. And partner up with summers eve with some Duck Dynasty Douche's. Its a shame.

Like you wouldn't do the same thing? They make a crap ton of money but it doesn't seem to have changed them. Well other than Willie....
I like Duck Dynasty because of what they stand for. The principles that once made this country great. Its almost like God is making a comeback since the most watched TV show on the planet end with a prayer around the dinner table.

The thing I don't understand is knowing the religous views of the family, why would anyone expect a different answer?

That's what I was talking about, Matt. Like I said, I love the show, and love what they stand for. No problems there at all. We have it set up on the DVR and look forward to watching every week.

Yup. Like jpony said, I think it was almost a set up. They knew it was going to cause controversy and ruffle feathers which, sadly, improves ratings. Which is the bottom line for these companies. Rating. Its a sad world that we are living in.

I think that there won't be any shows without Phil in them. A&E is just trying to CYA against all the gays/liberals and not loose their viewership from other A&E shows. Ducky Dynasty is their cash cow right now. No way they will keep him off.

NOt me, but that was the only show I watched anyway. R.I.P. America

They're in the middle of a pre-recorded season right now, aren't they? My DVR is still picking up new episodes, I'm pretty sure. Saying, "I'm going to quit watching ... as soon as this season is over," doesn't quite send the right message.

Like Andrew posted on FB, 2% of the country is LGBT. Why do we let them run us? Why is A&E more worried about loosing them than the rest of us??? Unless it is all just a stunt. They're in the off season right now ... maybe they figure they'll clear it all up in time not to miss an episode. I have noticed a lot more scripted BS scenarios this season ... maybe they're just running out of material.

I know they are taking a mini-break until mid January, I believe.

Sadly, there is also a very large % of the population that stand behind LGBT and will also be boycotting A&E.

BTW, did anyone read the interview with GQ? I thought that was supposed to be a men's magazine ... but the interviewer sounds like an absolute ******, scared of all of Phil's weapons and such. He brings them up constantly throughout the interview as if they're a huge cock that he wants to suck but is also kind of afraid of.

I wish the G&L groups would push for A&E to stop showing the episodes with Phil right now. That would force A&E to choose between political correctness and money. I would have a strong feeling the money win out.

99 times out of 100. Welcome to America. It's pathetic.

Men's magazine? Sure it is, if you're into hair gel, fake black rimmed glasses and argyle sweaters..................................
