Emmys Cancelled - Sick & Tired of Gutless Celebrities

[Mike in VA]

Not that it's any great loss, IMO showbiz awards shows are are nothing but self-congrratulatory, self-agrandizing, mutual masturbation, not no mention a huge waste of bandwidth, but where do these dweebs get off? They claim to be doing thier part for America's morale, but can't be bothered to do a show because of 'security' concerns. This year, they were even going to 'dress down'. What a bunch of gutless weenies. Liike it would be a great loss as if Drew Barry more or Alex Baldwin or some of that ilk got popped by 'terroists'.

I'm OK with the ones that do the USO shows in the field, but the rest of them can go hump a donut.

Just to keep this gun-related, let me say I wouldn't waste a bullet on any of them.

I heard that the cast of "West Wing" was the first to say, as a group, that they would not be attending. Fantasy strategy session maybe? Sheen is most likely planning a US surrender.

 

[Rottweiler]

Aren't most of those afore mentioned celebrities supposed to have left the country since G.W. won the election?

 

[Balddog]

Talk about arrogance. They think that out of all the targets in the US, the terrorists would choose to attack a bunch of people who are most likely to actually support the terrorists....LOL.

Im sure Bin Laden can think of a million better targets than a room full of celebs blowing each other for a night.

Hrmm.. y'know, now that I think about it, if I were some fanatical militant out to rid the world of the "Great Satan" and all its terrible influences on my good and proper kids in the muslim world.. i'd prolly start in Hollywood. Those folks produce most of the American Image most folks overseas know of us. (which in itself is kinda scary).

SO, I'd say they (Hollywood types) are indeed quite possible targets. That said... they do seem to be skipping out, yes.

Still.. can't say as I'd miss em terrible much.

They are afraid of being blown to hell by some terrorist the sissies. Unfortunately the terrorist wouldn't blow those SOB's up, we just will never get that lucky.

Maybe this will help to show some people in this country that, in searching for role models or granting credibility to their views, that most actors just don't measure up.

 

[George Dickel at Work]

I don't think it has anything to do with their security. More probable explanation is that viewers and media coverage would not focus on them but on the bombing in Afghanistan. Their tender egos would not be able to accept the fact that they were upstaged by a war. Mike in VA hit it on the head as to the purpose if these shows.

While I have no love for celebrities (what good do they do me?), the Emmys may have been canceled because it is known that Bin Laden has recommended that places of entertainment (crowds) be attacked (as well as bridges and tunnels into cities).

 

[m16a2223]

Amen Mike, the Emmy awards are just for stars to strut around and pat each other on the back.:barf:

It amazes me how those folks can be so convinced of their importance to the country (and the world). Makes me wanna gag.

Instead of the Emmys try a CRUISE!

You forgot security arrangements handled by that former bar bouncer, and, of course, Reno's Rangers, the ATF.

 

[Fred Hansen]

After they hit an iceberg and start to sink, you know what Kaptain Klinton will say? (insert petulant Klinton voice here) "We were just gonna stop for some ice-cubes. (bite thumb, pout and wink at the ladies)

"The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men."
- Plato -

 

[Tankist]

Since we're on the subject, I just ran accross this one...

http://entertainment.msn.com/news/eonline/100801_trivial.asp

Here's a good quote:

<<<Woods, who plays Barrymore's father in the movie, was more matter of fact. He noted that he and the rest of the cast were contractually obligated to promote their movie. Woods, who said he refuses to fly commercially, also announced that he would not attend the film's New York premiere. >>>

BaWAHHHAAAHAA!

 

[westex]

I started boycotting various actors/actresses years ago starting with Elizabeth Taylor. My list is now so long I can rarely go anymore. It seems everytime one of those "self important" nitwits open their mouth they make my list and I use to be a real movie buff. TV the same. If they thought I was going to watch something with Ellen Degenerate hosting they were going to be sadly mistaken.

 

[Mike in VA]

So much for "The Show must go on . . ."

Part of what chaffes me so much about these people is the simple irony that they get paid princely sums to play at make believe and yet fail to grasp that they really have so little to do with real life. Their function is to provide diversion and they should thank God that they live in a society that is rich enough and privileged enough to have time for 'diversions' instead of worrying where their next meal is coming from :barf:
