As stupid as his remarks were,I feel we
should be more outraged at the fact that
he displays no grattitude for people keeping him in the spotlight, what projects has he done that were on the
A-list since the demise of Everybody
Loves Raymond, where he was the second
banana to his on-screen YOUNGER brother.
Needless to say, that was his greatest
claim to fame, and if I were him, I would embrace any media attention possible.

And he wonders why Mom and Dad favor Raymond over him all the time?

To Ava and Heh-Heh:

What about when Christians say that if you haven’t been saved, you’re going to hell? As a Muslim, I find that pretty offensive. As you know, there are extremists and lunatics in every religion, and outside of religion. If you think Christians were free of that, just think about the Inquisition.

Anyone who does a Google Image Search for Muslims protesting will find plenty of pictures of Arab men carrying signs that say Behead those who insult Islam or similar sentiments.

Brad Garrett’s crime was to tell someone to “speak English.”

Are you sure we’re not losing perspective here? Garrett’s comments are nothing.

What’s funny is often times the groups that are supposedly offended never said anything to begin with. I didn’t hear about the incident until I came on Celebitchy. The journalist probably called a Muslim/Arab group and asked for their feelings on it. Even after reading it I wasn’t really offended I just thought it was a childish unfunny joke by a hack comedian.

You know what?This is just sickening. Muslims need to stop complaining about EVERYTHING for God’s sake! Do we scream discrimination and offer to sit down to explain to them that calling anyone who ISN’T a Muslim is an infidel who needs to get their heads cut off is a bad, offensive, and discriminatory thing?Why do we have to cow down to that group anyway? If they get so mad at us AMERCICANS, why don’t they go back to Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Africa, Morroco and other assorted countries where most of them come from and then they don’t have to get offended? Instead, they want to spread out all over to Western countries and spew their hatred and discrimination and cause all sorts of dissention. Read, people, read about how in certain countries in Europe, they cause uproars over piffel. And the more governments cave to them the more demanding they are going to get and pretty soon no one will be able to go to operas, movies, art galleries, plays,musicals or read books, magazines or what newspapers are left all because there is some small offense to their relgion. People just need to get grip and a life. This isn’t important.Again, making a mountain out of a molehill. Get some thicker skin people!!1

Hi Ned, The comment regarding Dobbs was about his “America for Americans” sentiment, which your initial post reminded of. Again, to each his own. I only brought it up because I prefer notion of the melting pot.

As for following & insulting people, I too find both the profession & behavior shabby to say the least. The glamour of celebrity press from days past like Marcelleo Mastrianni (s/p) in La Dolca Vita is exactly that, days past… if it ever was. Regardless, TMZ & the like have become part & parcel of the industry & contrary to your claim, they are legitimate. Albeit vulgur the practice is in fact legal. Moreover, our blogging about it further legitimizes it as doing so only furthers demand thereby increasing the market. As for the celebs, this is apparently, at least in part the price of fame. Perhaps it’s not fair but then again who said it was fair that the untalented can make unseemly amounts of money playing pretend? As for BG, I have no sympathy for him. He’s been around long enough to know how it works & has already established himself as a horse’s ass w/ racist leanings.

As for politely harrassing a person, I think you’re being unrealistic as the verb negates the adverb. Sure the paps are swine but that’s a given. All BG did was prove he’s a bigger sod than them.

Sorry to hear about your difficulty posting, but glad you got to respond. I do afterall enjoy the diversity you bring to threads, especially the effect you clearly have on the loons.

Both Muslims and Sikhs wear turbans. So he’s an equal opportunity offender. This isn’t really enough to get upset over, but if I saw him I’d tell him what to do with “the turban” in three different languages.
