Re: What is this Duck Dynasty shit going on?
Sure. But by acting responsibly now and then later re-instating Phil, the network gets both to create attention in the media, do the right thing by gays and blacks and boost ratings for a aging show. If they were smart enough, they might have planned it. But hey, they're Duck Dynasty...it had to be a lucky accident...right?

Re: What is this Duck Dynasty shit going on?
It'll be one of those Kabuki dances with A&E hoping not to lose money but give a high hat that doesn't get too much blowback. Maybe timing with have something to do with it. I believe that fences will be mended because that's what A&E will decide what is good for business. Robertson will have to realize he is a television gimmick and needs to learn how not to alienate by judging behavior. He either preaches to the choir or is seen as a slack-jawed yokel depending who you ask.

Re: What is this Duck Dynasty shit going on?
A "mummer's farce" as the good folk from "Game of Thrones" would phrase it....Apparently, neither side got a good look at the other when they signed the paperwork. I mean, hello A&E, you hired a family of duck hunter/enthusiasts from "Backwoods Louisiana" in order to keep up with the other basic-cable networks in the "redneck reality-show ratings wars(proof alone that Hollywood has run out of new ideas). And you trot the "patriarch"(no warning there, the word "patriarch") to do a GQ interview? Did you think he'd be "quaint" , chock full of "homespunisms"? What'd you think he'd say?
As to the Robertsons, It's A&E... As in "Arts & Entertainment" Television. ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT. Who do they think comprise the Arts & Entertainment career fields? People who may not find Phil's statements/observations quaint & homespun(like say Black people, TBGL people, "liberals", any combination of the above & anyone who realizes that the American Civil War ended about 148 years ago and--even though it was "a Late, Great, & Unpleasant Lost Cause", the South started it.

Wonder if this dies down over the long holiday. The network will not walk away from that much money. Do they do good merchandise sales too? Lunch Boxes, Video Games, Gator Jerky, Pregnancy Test which also determines if closely related, etc...

Re: What is this Duck Dynasty shit going on?
Another point that is completely ignored by right wing nuts, is that if Phil had an "evil" union representing him, he probably never would have been suspended. Sucks working in an at-will state, doesn't it?
