Eddie Murphy drops out as Oscar host

[Panthro]

I was assuming that it was meant as a joke when someone says that rehearsing is for fags.

Ok then I guess it's fine then..as long as it's a joke, right

[rodeo]

I would buy the "it was a joke" thing if it wasn't coming from the least talented, least creative person working in the film industry, perhaps in history.

I hope Ratner also resigns from making movies.

Not saying it's fine, just that I am not going to get my panties in a wad over something like that.

BILLY CRYSTAL is helping put a fairytale ending on an ugly Academy Awards drama by returning to host the famed ceremony in backdraft of Eddie Murphy’s departure.

Crystal, widely considered the best host of the last decade, maybe longer, was called in to fill the slot left vacant when Murphy followed his producing partner Brett Ratner out the door.

Well, now that changes everything

You don't have to that's why there's organizations in place to do it for you.

[mmmbeans]

ahh who the f*ck cares... the oscars always suck anyway.

Translation - If the world was 100% WASPy everything would be A-Ok

no that's your translation after being deprogrammed by the diversity and thought police.

to go and speak to this group over ONE word is just silly.

so is GLADD going to ask Hollywood remove every offensive word from all the movies in history as well as remove Oscars from folks who have said this stuff?

i don't use these type words but i think we are so quick to flip out and then get high and mighty and try to act like we are all advanced when in reality we focus and adore the dumbest things in society rather than get offended by far far more offensive things similar to what i mentioned.

[Panthro]

By ignoring/accepting the use of words like that in society we say it's alright to use them. But I guess words don't mean anything...no issues with bullying in schools. Words are silly...you win pstall.

[pstall]

words do mean something. its where, when and how they were used. and it's the reactions AFTERWORDS that also matter.

im more perturbed at the outcome, not because Im a Ratner or Murphy fan. just think the punishment doesn't fit the crime here.

[Panthro]

What was the punishment...him resigning? If he felt like he was in the right he should have stayed on board and continued.

[pstall]

oh im sure he really had a choice to stay. either way. no skin off my nose.

Actually the thing I hate most about the Left is their censorship. Let people say whatever they want and deal with the consequences. Brow-beating them through the media is for gay pussies.

Letting the free market decide....I'm cool with that.
