Last year for vacation we got to see Twitter drama with Opie vs Reddit, this year is finally the year Ant gets called out for being a loving racist rear end in a top hat. Summer vacations rule for this show. It's almost too good to be true.

The man whose answer to "Things Anthony says" was "friend of the family" would like you to reconsider that Anthony is a massive racist.

It probably won't be the incident itself that gets him fired but rather his attempts to defend himself on Twitter. I'm fully expecting him to get loaded over this weekend and straight up start calling people who disagree with him friend of the family-lovers. That or he'll do a Live From The Compound and say something wildly inappropriate.

On the bright side, Opie's been looking for an excuse to quit for a while now, so he'll also be happy. Really the only one who gets hosed is Jim and he's always one drink away from a downward spiral culminating in suicide anyway.

Just looking over Twitter for the past couple of hours and Ant is already revving up. It's, what, 6 or 7 in the morning in New York at the moment? I give him until midday before he blows the whole thing up.

People are posting all kinds of Live from the Compound clips on that Gawker article. Haha, Anthony. I generally hate when people pile on someone but this dude has been publicly spouting this stuff for years.

As funny as it is to see Anthony get called out on his racism, I really hope this doesn't lead to his firing. He's still a brilliant, funny motherfucker who, along with Jimmy, is responsible for most of the humor on the show.

The worst thing about this is that if Ant get's poo poo-canned it will be his own fault for actually bringing up what happened to him on Twitter in the first place. Had he not mentioned it none of the media outlets that will inevitably be looking for his head on a plate would have know anything because it's not like he has paps following him around like other celebrities. Also, he is currently playing the victim and retweeting people who are comparing what's happening to him to people blaming rape victims for being raped.

I've yet to see anything even close to a real news outlet reporting this. I honestly don't think enough people give a poo poo about O&A for them to be shitcanned. If it starts making the rounds on CNN and poo poo, maybe, but conservative blog, gawker articles and a few dozen people riled up on twitter probably won't get the job done for manufacturing outrage.

The Dave posted:Tomorrow's July 4th, this story barely has a day of life left in the media. As much as I'd love watching Antony squirm, these posts are probably correct. I don't think enough people listen to SiriusXM for this outrage boner to go mainstream (like say, Imus' nappy headed hoes comment ). Next week, Ant will make some half hearted wink-wink apology and the show will go on.

I hope that the story picks up enough steam that the woman who hit him is interviewed, and we get to hear her side of the story. (It probably won't happen because of potential legal retribution, but a guy can dream.)

At least, he's playing it smooth and calm on Twit-quote:My posts on twitter after I was assaulted were profanity laced indeed but racist? Nope. Why should I afford my attacker any courtesy? Insane quote:Hey, @aleksnotalex you loving excuse for a "journalist". Spread your poo poo but won't come to the source & address me? You're a little oval office.

When I first listened to the show, I found Anthony to be an incredibly quick-witted, funny guy, so I followed him on twitter. That lasted about 2 days, it's loving awful on a normal day it's just turned up to 11 at the moment.spudsbuckley posted:Also, he is currently playing the victim and retweeting people who are comparing what's happening to him to people blaming rape victims for being raped. It never ceases to amaze me that there are so many fans of the show so quick to loving dogpile anybody who has a dissenting opinion, also how utterly vile and humourless those people are. They say it themselves on the show, but how can these people so religiously listen to a comedy show and just not understand funny at all. Also a vast majority of the defence seem to be "everybody is forgetting the unprovoked attack from a SAVAGE", when most of the articles don't deny the fact he was attacked, just that he's a misogynistic, racist shitheel. The totally unprovoked angle seems kinda iffy at best whilst we only have one side of the story. Stotty fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Jul 3, 2014 |

Snacksmaniac posted:Were they just playing the "pick out a black girl for Anthony to date" bit? Yeah, and yesterday they played Jim Breuer's story from Wildwood, NJ when he was threatened by the "albino" and the cop told him they were all animals. Whoever's programming the "Best Of" seems to be having fun with it. Phlag posted:I hope that the story picks up enough steam that the woman who hit him is interviewed, and we get to hear her side of the story. (It probably won't happen because of potential legal retribution, but a guy can dream.) This is my thought as well. Her photo is all over these articles, someone who knows her will have to see it eventually.

USA Today picked it up, sort of http://entertainthis.usatoday.com/2014/07/03/opie-anthony-show-dj-cumia-racist-rant/. That's mainstream right? At least people in Holiday Inn Express' will read it tomorrow maybe? This isn't even close to the worse thing that he's said on Twitter, I lasted a whole week or two following him before I had to unfollow, so I don't see why anyone should treat this any different. I wonder if he's frantically going through his old stuff, getting rid of the especially terrible ones.

I think there is enough stuff to bury him in the show archives alone, especially cut up and taken out of any comedic context. And we all know that for every lighthearted 'friend of the family vs nazi challenge' bit (or even quick-witted, if racist, bell rings and one-liners), there are 5 Treyvon Martin rants with no comedy whatsoever. I guess I'm not sure how easily available all of that is if you're not internal to Sirius? Are full shows all over YouTube? I'd expect the best-of type bits, but did anyone really bother to archive Treyvon Marin segment #72 online? Pakistani Brad Pitt fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Jul 3, 2014 |

Actually, a lot of fans I've seen are supplying the ammo to the media because it's hilarious to see Ant squirm. Yeah, a lot of them are shitheels, but a lot of them are also assholes with a sense of fair play. Racist Ant is the worst Ant, and that needed to stop years ago.

There's enough bits anywhere on YouTube, especially when Ant 'jokes' about racism and whatnot. The man has hung himself.

CrashCat posted:We really only need one special interest group to pick up on this and Sirius will bend over backwards so far that the entire channel will rocket out their rear end and into the dumpster. Yeah Sirius is built on pretty much overpaying giant mainstream media names (Bob Dylan, Martha Stewart, Jamie Foxx, major American sports leagues) to attract people to their brand. The only way I see them surviving is if this loses steam over the holiday. If it makes it to NAACP, CNN or someone, I don't see how they can afford to stand by O&A. I'm not sure Howard Stern could survive this in 2014, and he actually drives their subscribers. At very least he'd lose all of his mainstream TV gigs. I enjoy the show despite Ant's shittiness so I'm not going to be the one to facilitate this, but Jesus, get Al Sharpton on the wire if you want this to be over. The only sad part to me would be not getting to see the hilarious followup show if Al Sharpton is finally their undoing.

So Anthony was walking around Times Square taking photos of the scenery (Noted photography enthusiast and tourist in New York that he is) and then this black woman came up and started beating him up for no reason, he called her a "nincompoop" and then she beat him up some more while all the black people and white people ( mentioned as separate groups despite doing the same thing)all gathered around to laugh at him. And he hasn't gone to the police because she'll claim he sexually assaulted her. Obviously this is Obama's fault. He certainly wasn't drunkenly staggering around Times Square trying to take candid pictures for him to masturbate over later, called a woman a friend of the family for hitting him over this and then decided not to call the cops because she'd very accurately describe what he was doing with several eye witnesses to verify her statement. Air tight story, Ant. This whole thing is beautiful, Ten out of Ten, will enjoy hearing about his inevitable suicide when he finally loses his job.

When it comes back, there will be a terribly brief discussion on incident and then a full week on how "the media" treat stories like this and how the real point has been missed. Nobody on the show will call him out or dig deeper in to what really transpired in the lead up to the attack. Stotty fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Jul 3, 2014 |
