The original.

Are you following this? If not, Gawker is perfect for this sort of shit, go ahead and catch up. Not sure they could have handled this situation any worse.

She wanted to hire a bunch of Black men to dress up and play the roles of slaves on a plantation? Wow. That is off the charts stupid. What a thoroughly vile woman.

Has there ever been a more indicative picture of 'Murica?

Looks like a black guy in the black shirt there, right? Odd.

I hadn't seen the context of her remarks until this. It was described as her using N*****. Which really isn't the part that is most offensive.

Love of gravy supercedes social responsibility I guess.

I was in line at the grocery store yesterday and noticed Paula's fat face on a mag cover. The headline (paraphrased): "Paula Deen's weight loss substitutions. Lose weight with Paula's substitution tips." Come on.

I think there was a little more context to Bronto's picture than "fat people"!

Video of a Deen interview with the NYT in which she talks about how the losses of the Civil War affected her family, calls her best black friend up the stage, and then makes a joke about his skin color.

Johnnie didn't think so. What do you think he was referring to?

rass · Post by **rass** » Tue Jun 25, 2013 1:03 pm

It was a bunch of overweight Americans standing in line outside of soul food restaurant on a hot summer day in Georgia, in support of the rights of the celebrity chef owner of the restaurant to say racist things without it affecting her livelihood. So maybe I'm giving Bronto too much credit, but you can take a little more from that than "OMG fat people".

No, that's exactly what I was going for.

Nope because no one is talking about the epidemic of skinniness...

I'm not picking on you. Or hell, even fat people in general, just HOW STEREOTYPICAL IS THAT FREAKING PICTURE?

Northern Maine. Aroostook county to be exact. Company I worked for had a facility there. 90%+ of staff looked like that. And they smoked. Our Louisville facility was very similar as well.

So it's just like the Chik-Fil-A thing, but on a smaller scale with a larger waistline? K. I saw that, and it certainly is 'MURICA, but I'm not sure if it's the most indicative picture. It's certainly arguable.

But I was also coming from the perspective that I had just eaten at Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas and witnessed 2 individuals over 350 lbs (one who was 500) eat for free. So yea.

And as far as sounding like a misogynist asshole in terms of the girls I saw who attended EDC, I won't apologize for disparaging 20-something females dressed like the ugliest hookers imaginable who are completely disgusting and care not a fuck for looking the least bit respectable in public. It was unsettling and facepalm worthy every time.

Rough times, indeed. Glad you made it through the other side.

It's not "supposedly", she openly discussed it. When? 2007. About 6-years before still-employed Alec Baldwin went on an anti-gay severely homophobic tirade on Twitter.

The Media Party devoured Deen like lions on a dying gazelle with a side order of deep-fried butter sticks and lard martinis. Then they learned that she's actually an Obama supporter, Democratic funder and so on, and backed off a bit.

Hypocritical as fuck, but you all know that.

Baldwin's childish sickening rant: http://cdn.thedailybeast.com/content/da ... mg.503.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

At least Anderson Cooper stepped up and asked why Fuckwit gets a free pass while Deen gets annihilated. And hooray for Cooper; he's spot on.

Unique to American media and its bastard children (Canada, UK, etc) is "selective disgust and destruction".

The Baldwins are all fucking insane, Alec is just a good enough actor that it gets glossed over. I just enjoyed the Deen trouncing, as I can't stand her. Even before the diabetes thing. She annoys the fuck out of me, and I hate that she is so popular. I made the mistake of shopping at Wegmans one day at the same time she was doing a book signing in their produce section. I wanted to kill all the fuckers cackling and fawning over her and her two inbred sons. I just wanted to buy some damned mangoes, FFS. She is the only celebrity chef worse than Rachel Ray. How does that no talent nit-wit have a career?

Scottie · Post by **Scottie** » Mon Jul 01, 2013 9:08 pm

Anthony Bourdain was quite the genius combination of chef and author until the celeb bug caught him and he is, now, becoming a bit of a parody of himself. But he's still got suave.

Years ago, among his countless Deen ripping comments, came this gem:

PAULA DEEN: I’m reluctant to bash what seems to be a nice old lady. Even if her supporting cast is beginning to look like the Hills Have Eyes--and her food a True Buffet of Horrors. A recent Hawaii show was indistinguishable from an early John Waters film. And the food on a par with the last scene of Pink Flamingos. But I’d like to see her mad. Like her look-alike, Divine in the classic, “Female Trouble.“ Paula Deen on a Baltimore Killing Spree would be something to see. Let her get Rachael in a headlock--and it’s all over.

She's becoming quite the martyr on my Facebook feed. I've seen countless posts criticizing the political correctness of her detractors ( after all, she used the N word 27 years ago!!!), and one questioning why she was fired, but Lil' Wayne wasn't, after he was photographed standing on an American flag. (Fwiw, that one killed me because it sort of assumes they work for the same company or something).
