  • I wonder if there's someone at A&E that knew about the contents of the interview before it was published.

    • I'd be more interested in knowing why GQ were interviewing him. Seems an odd demographic, but I don't know who GQ really market to.

      • I think their niche is men who care about fashion and high society and stuff, but don't want to come right out and say they're gay.

          My guess is the marathon was already scheduled and they simply declined to unschedule it. Take from that what you will.

            • I think this is simply a matter of A&E trying to be PC and having a popular backlash that made them change their mind. Who would have guessed that given the type viewers the show draws.

              To me the larger issue is the knee jerk PC reaction. These days "political correctness" seemd to overshadow freedom of thought and expression.

              • While I also agree that it has gotten out of hand, you don't have to be a genius to figure out that almost no matter what you say, you're going to piss someone off. So if you can't afford to do that you should probably be more careful about the stuff that comes out of your mouth.

                But here, he could afford to piss off some people and will likely benefit from it.

                  Duck Dynasty has a LOT of fans who are exactly the people who would be offended by his comments. I have numerous liberal type friends in the UK who love it. It'll be interesting to see the long term effects once the people who only just came out the woodwork for political reasons all go back to not watching it because it's reality TV.

                  • What do they actually do on the show? Do they just hunt ducks a lot?

                    • You have to be really dedicated to do duck hunting. Sitting in the freezing water (okay so you have waders but still) for hours with a 10-gauge shotgun and 3.5" shells trying to get a headshot on a duck at 40 yards, I mean, **** that.

                        What is your opinion of the show?
                        No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                          • I hear that Phil Robertson got a masters in "education" and was a teacher. I suspect from the same university as Ben.
                            His BA is in physical Education. His MA is in education. Both at LA Tech. My BA is in history from the University of Northern British Columbia. So the better question is where I teach similar to where he taught back in the day? Probably. It is not hard to see why this would be.

                            • Thousands of gay people around the world every year are viciously, physically attacked, beaten, and even killed because their attackers have heard over and over how gay people are an abomination and that our so-called "lifestyle" goes against the Bible, Torah, Koran, or what have you.

                              What Phil had said was grossly irresponsible and bigoted. When we don't speak out against expressed bigoted opinions, then we are basically condoning violent crimes against gay people.
                              A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

                                I'm convinced that Mr Fun = Jesse Jackson Sr. Have you ever seen them in the same room together?
