So, I guess he and ABC, or whoever he works for, knew this was about to come out. This, the reason for his extended "summer break".


Karl Malone blackface was supposedly the reason behind the break

Your actual ignorance is appalling

Did you not hear about the papa johns ceo?

He used it in a way to describe what shouldn’t be said and he got canned. Get your head out of the fricking sand.

Usually I agree with you, but you missed the thread here. That poster was not implying that people weren’t getting canceled for innocent uses of the term. He was pointing out that there was a difference between comic use (and I think he’d agree that the Papa John CEO reference is similar) and actual use that Trump is ALLEGED to have said.

Laughing at Kimmel reaping what he has sown isnt inconsistent.

But if you cancel someone that agrees with canceling, doesn't that mean you agree with canceling, too?

Broski, This is a simple concept. I am against the cancel culture. When one of its main perpetrators is hoist on his own petard I am gleeful because this is what needs to happen in order to stop the cancel culture. I would happily see Kimmel get off scott free if it meant the waning of this Jacobean terror. There is no hypocrisy here.

So we like cancel culture now? Shouldn't be against all forms of canceling?


Should we not call out the hypocrisy of you leftist and laugh when you eat your own?

And this is why cancel culture exists.

You complain about it when it affects someone you align with, but you let it go when it fricks someone over that you don't like.

You're no different than those you make fun of.


Except I'm not out there digging into people's past trying to find dirt and get them canceled. Good try though.

And you tell him "This is exactly why you and everyone else engaged in this are wrong."

You don't keeping going with it. You display exactly what is not right about it and tell them. Therefore, not try to cancel Kimmel.

Man, I hate defending Kimmel though. I know it sucks to defend it.

But people on the right did, just like people on the left have been doing.

And you are aiding it by agreeing that he needs to be canceled.

Adam Carolla was the good one. He still is. Ace Man needs his own talk show again.

Sure, sure. Because Jimmy would have an easier time of it if I had just posted that I didn't agree with it and it needs to end.

Wasn't Kimmel the one that had Tom Arnold on his show begging him to release the Trump N-word tape?

The only way to have a chance at changing Kimmel at this point is to defend him and show HIM that his standards were wrong.


Imagine being this cucked. Jimmy is a grown arse man, and he made his bed. I have no inclination to show mercy and “start a conversation” with some a-hole that helped foster the toxic environment that now threatens to consume him.

That may be what they said, but that meme has been floating around for years.

I think this is probably just icing on the cake and he and the execs didn't want to combat another shite storm. Especially in today's environment.
