this duck dynasty thing is ridiculous. neither phil nor anyone else should permit the mind-numbing second golden age of pc to keep them from saying whatever they please. one 'offensive' bit: he compared the anus unfavorably to the vagina as a sex organ. now, that is some funny stuff, and a question that in some form or some occasions is liable to face us all, as it were. indeed, it is a or perhaps the fundamental human dilemma. i wonder how the polling looks on that these days.
but look: you've got these redneck reality shows. i like them too. but the basic premise of course is: look at these crazy hicks! there are wild people like this in our own country! it has, if you'll permit me to say so, a bit of a minstrel-show quality, and condesenscion is one of the elements of the entertainment. so now you are going to penalize the guy for talking like a (highly witty) redneck? you are? you hired him to be precisely this, and now you're suspending him for it? people: i'm trying to figure out whether to think of you as vaginas or as anuses.
