Because he fucked up in a huge way by actually thinking he could get away with massive plagiarism, then turning that initial fuck-up into this ridiculous "it was all art" cover story that may actually get him off the hook, when it should land him in jail like fuck-ups like him deserve to be in.

I'm not sure if you'll see this since it's long after the fact, but how did you know these things when you wrote them? You've said some inside baseball-type stuff on the last few episodes here that have been proven correct, so I'm just wondering if you like work for the show or something?

Well New Orleans did change their name, but not to the Jazz…

It's now 2014, and Arizona State remains as big a jok — I mean party school as it ever was. Some things never change.

Me too, brother, me too…

Cool story, bro.

Hey look! It's NBC!

And the answer to someone asking that question should be: "Yes, it is absolutely healthy behavior to engage in stomach-punching while pregnant. Why would you think otherwise?"

There's going to be a knock on your door in the morning. Do not be alarmed, answer the door with calmness and cheerfulness. Also, it is most definitely *not* the police.

The fact that such a douchetastic individual as Ted is a Buckeye from Ohio is just so fucking perfect I can't even tell you. Absolutely perfect decision from the writers to make that his background, so in character for Ted.

Alright folks, question time: I have not seen the Silva leg break yet. For those that have, dare I scourge my eyes for life to satisfy my utterly misplaced, morbid curiosity?

I see what you're saying, but I don't think this situation necessarily plays out the way it does without GLAAD's doing. Whether or not you take A&E's threats of permanent removal seriously, it looks pretty clearly on the surface like A&E made the initial suspension as a result of the blowback from groups like GLAAD.…

YEAH, FUCK IT IN THE ASS

Absolutely 100% in agreement with you on this. I honestly think it would have been a damn shame if he had been fired over this, so in that respect I'm happy it didn't cost him his job. Do I hope his show utterly fails and he becomes a failure as a result? Sure, but not from things like this.

Yeah, maybe I'm being harsh on ole Phil. I should know better, too; my roommate last year freshman year of college is an absolute mathematical prodigy and incredibly smart, perceptive, and thoughtful individual, but he is a huge right-wing conservative in all the key ways. One of those is, while not being homophobic,…

While I wouldn't go so far as to say this entire ordeal was one massive publicity stunt (Robertson clearly believes what he's saying, has a history of saying these things, and is clearly fucking messed up enough in the head to say these things on his own accord), but I do think everything A&E did in response was a…

You seem to be ignoring the heavily-reported response from GLAAD, which while not a technically politically-associated organization certainly represents the left side of the debate (if you can call it that). So I don't think it's necessarily been as one-sided as you insinuate.

And this seems to surprise you… why, exactly? If this is news to you, the rock you've been living under must have been mighty comfy.

Preach, brother-from-the-future jero, preach.
