No Kathy Griffin? C'mon Paul, show your support to a woman in need!


Enough with this ageist, misogynistic, homophobic stuff.

You Nazi!

She killed her career, Trumped, it, like Alec Baldwin and Ben and Jerry's Brand Ice Cream!

What did Ben and Jerry's do?

reply

Only do controversial named for the product and support controversial causes..subjective of course to the infivudals..look up the names on Google. Admittedly, nothing to do with KG (nor did Alec Baldwin, though I admit he is very funny in many efforts).

reply

They didn't name their product anything controversial

I think you have been goofed

I meant the names like "Empower-Mint", "I dough, I dough". But I'm not on the same political fence that they are (far left), so that's just me. That closes the book on my part here. Alec Baldwin and Ben and Jerry whom I brought up weren't even controversial to the fans, nor even topical., But Kathy Griffin did make an enemy of herself by holding that bloody Trump picture back in 2017, outraging those across the political spectral and the ice cream company DID offen many folks with those ice cream names-Empor-mint (the Black Lives Matter-named Ice Cream, and the thankfully tempoary Schweddy Balls, based in that Saturday Night Live sketch that dealt with women's part, though that was an admittedly funny joke, and anyway.) but I should have in the first place only mentioned her.I'll just end my comment on this here. Getting back to the movie at hand, "A Simple Favor', this wasn't even at the slightest, meant to BE a Kathy Griffin film. Hey, what part could she play (a ultra left jerkk>>) The roles for this film were finally cast for Blake Lively and the others. Not Kathy Griffin. Sorry. Maybe in a sequel. You know how even non-blockbusters get seuqels and stuff. This was a BIG hit, and no Kathy Griffin. There's other places where Kahty Griffin is in films. Here are my final senences here, then I'll post another topic here. Re:Kathy Griffin, You can find on YouTube, stand ups..and in fact hey, I think that she is funny..but to start, why would the original poster (OP if you like Acronyms) - the poster's name was Reality, to me ironic given the topic, even ask his/her question. BTW And I was wrong on some of the things I said about the other examplkes I gve, Alec Baldwin and ben and Jerry Ice cream, as a lot of their ice cream flavors, like Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) as in 30 rock and Cookie Dough, which was a legfitimate first used by beloved ice creameries, are not controverial at all. BUt not so harmless were other names for the flavors.

The following is my LAST word on ANYTHING off topicval pro or con, for the silly thread.
That is al that I'm saying, as I should have stuck to Kathy Griffin, but any way that is it.NMext topic I post in this forum will be on the movie and the stars and everything else out it itself and not Kathy Griffin or what not. You can find her sometimes amuisng stuf elsewehere. The original poster SHOULD HAVE have gone remotely off topic. Thaose The END.

How is "Empower-Mint" and "I dough, I dough" supporting controversial causes?

Empower Mint is a call to civilians to show up and vote. Maybe on a stretch you could say it is left leaning since historically left leaning voters have poor turnout but i don't think the sentiment is controversial.

I dough i dough might be considered controversial 20 years ago when gay marriage wasn't the fad catch word as it is now.
These days claiming that you are against legalizing gay marriage is WAY more controversial. Just look at the flak Chick-Fil-A get or the whole Carrie Prejean thing.

Regarding Kathy Griffinn, yeah she did something controversial and committed commercial suicide. Good riddance to her

Glad to see the comments..agreed with your comments,especially our AGREEMENT on Kathy Griffin! Good Riddance it right (and I thought I'd never do another reply).

BTW Back on the actual stars's topic, Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively were quite fine it the roles..I wonder if they'd ever been teamed, I doubt it..:)

Here's an article that is more to the point. https://redstate.com/bradslager/2020/06/03/during-this-spate-of-racial-outrage-here-are-some-deeply-uncomfortable-facts-for-the-press-the-activists-and-even-ben-jerrys-n139075 If your political leanings are Left, this is a plus, if you lean Right, you will probably buy a different ice-cream (b/c you disagree with Leftist politics, not because you are racist). If I owned an ice-cream company, I wouldn't want to flirt with half of my customer base while alienating the other half.
