I'm not really for censorship - I've always been of the school of giving people enough rope to hang themselves. Let the rejection come from peers or voters or viewers instead.
But this is pretty damn gross: Watch Phil Robertson’s Tips On Finding The Perfect Underage Girl To Marry! (Video) (http://aattp.org/watch-phil-robertsons-tips-on-finding-the-perfect-underage-girl-to-marry-video/#sthash.RTvvORhb.dpuf)
My guess: Arts and Entertainment hasn't been broadcast anything related to the arts in a very long time because, realty shows are what rules programing at the network, and we're lucky to get shows with characters who really shouldn't even be on local cable access.
Thank god for the BBC and several broadcasters in Europe.
Well, I meant BBC 3/ 4 mostly for arts and historical documentaries. Then there's a network in France for musical concerts (e.g. Jazz and Classical). Meanwhile, Americans consider themselves lucky to have "Jazz at Lincoln Center" on PBS, and Jazz is OUR native musical language. It's just sad :/
According to a GOP hopefull Ian Bayne, Phil Robertson is the Rosa Parks (http://www.politico.com/story/2013/12/ian-bayne-duck-dynasty-rosa-parks-101393.html) of our generation.
You don't need to have ever have watched the show to understand this cartoon, just to be remotely aware of the bruhaha that surrounds it currently. If you've managed to avoid that, you have better skills then I do.
I am actually convinced the whole kerfluffle was a set-up by A&E designed to create controversy, get free publicity, and then get the show's base to be more loyal and buy more Duck Dynasty crap.

Date: 2013-12-31 02:21 am (UTC)Absolutely agreed. It appears just awful (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_A%26E_Network).
A&E increased broadcasts of the Duck Show during the so called "controversy". Its standard PT Barnum tactics.
