As much as I basically hate Anthony it kinda sucks that Opie and Jim got swept into the "racism runs deep" thing as I'm pretty sure that neither of them is actually racist. Certainly not in the category of racist that Anthony is in.

Oh wow. Jim's vice show is going to get hit hard by all of this.

Decent comments on that article, joke and perspective wise.

quote:

Here's an original thought - they're both wrong. Of course you don't have the right to assault someone for taking pictures of you. Why anyone would defend her is beyond me. But it doesn't mean his reaction wasn't over the top, disgusting, and racist. Making him out to be some kind of hero for this is equally ridiculous. Yes, he didn't shoot her or assault her back. Congratulations.

If he truly was creep shotting, the initial assault isn't an appropriate response.
The subsequent punches however...
Edit: Can't wait to order this one

Also, I love how he's being "attacked" by places that are literally just listing his tweets and previous segments of his show. Your own words a little too damning, Anthony?

I just find it hard to believe that nobody, whether it be Opie or Jim or management, sat Ant down at some point over the last five years and said "look man, even if this poo poo doesn't get us fired, it's causing us to hemorrhage listeners by the thousands. What are you doing?"

Again, Anthony is a literal Nazi sympathizer so he should get his head kicked in on a daily basis.

And any man taking creeper shots should get whacked at least a couple of times.

I'm pretty sure the average O&A listener (angry, straight white male) eats Ant's poo poo right up.

When Ant gets fired they should tell Bobo he's going to be the new co-host, keep the joke going for a week with him on the show and then fire him on air for a really minor gently caress up.

It doesn't seem like SiriusXM gives a poo poo about the show.

I think the likely outcome is Ant gets suspended indefinitely and they just let the contract run out in October.

Which celebrities will actually show up to this show now? I wouldn't imagine you're going to see your Louis CKs, your Bill Burrs, or your other top tier comedians. Bob Kelly and Rich Vos probably still I guess. But no famous actors for sure, and even the D-list folks like all Guy Fieri or whatever I'm sure wouldn't come past the window without running. (not a great example, I know, but generally...)

Yeah. He likes Whoo Kid and that T.I. interview where the two were joking around was like a month ago. Ant isn't incapable of getting along with black people, his head is just full of racist poo poo and it pours out when he gets angry or drunk. So basically all the time.

There are plenty of people like Anthony who get along with black dudes just fine on a personal level. But for some reason they have this internal thing where there is this society of black boogie men who leech their tax money and hate them because they are white. It's not an uncommon sentiment.

I'm so rooting for just Ant to get fired, lose every penny he has, and have to back to a menial existence. He's a brilliantly funny dude, but no one deserves to get smacked back down into nothingness like he does.

And no I don't see any way he'd just get hired at Fox News. They wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole if he got fired for his racism, with all the horrible poo poo he's said boiling to life. Not in the current environment, no way.

I don't think anything will happen though. This is going to blow over. Just my gut feeling.

"Anything I wanted was a phone call away. Jaguars. The keys to a dozen apartments all over the city. I bet twenty, thirty grand over a weekend at the Borgata and then I'd either blow the winnings in a week or scream into a pillow.

Didn't matter. It didn't mean anything. When I was broke, I'd go out and podcast some more. I ran everything. I paid off Keith the Cop. I paid off divorce lawyers. I imitated reality show judges. Every schwoogie had their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now it's all over.

And that's the hardest part. Today everything is different; there's no action...I have to buy my own tin snips like everyone else. Can't even get decent food - right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce, and the waiter threw it against the wall and called me a pissy-eyed human being. I'm an average nobody...I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook."

The best person to talk to over there is Timothy Sabien. I had a complaint over a statement one of their personalities (Todd Whatley I believe) made about people having heart attacks and he took care of it right away!

Well it looks like some fans of Opie and Anthony have already showed up.

Yep, they're coming out of the wood work.
Much like Jim Norton will at Cobbs Comedy Club, San Francisco on August 7th-9th.

I think the real burning question that nobody seems to have the guts to ask is:
Will Jim Norton add another date to his three night run July 10-12 at the West Palm Beach Improv? We know that three nights in Addison, TX (August 21-33) is most likely sufficient, but why is Jim being so quiet about his schedule NEXT WEEKEND AT THE WEST PALM BEACH IMPROV?
Answer the question Mr. Norton.
