Rosie and the Boycott Conspiracy Therapy
Over at the AOL Video Blog, the wank keeps rolling in as Rosie O'Donnell continues to prove that The View is now just "The Rosie O'Donnell Show"...Part Deux.

The entry spotlights the site http://www.stoprosie.com/ and their crusade to boycott not just The View, but contact the companies whose products are advertised during the commercial breaks.

The real spotlight is on the blog comment board, as pro/anti Rosie visitors bring the funny and the stupid:

Rosie is ridiculous and so are her views and conspiracy therapy. Why would anyone waste their valuable time on such ridiculous television viewing as the view and Rosie?

I just checked out the stop Rosie site. Check out what they want money for. It is a big scam. I would buy myself a laptop before someone else. They need to get over themselfs and get a job

(I will not make a CC joke...I will not make a CC joke....I will not...)

I do not watch the View and especially since Rosie makes such hateful comments starting with Clay/Kelly episode and it's been non stop. The final straw when she criticizes our government for starting 9/11.

As for the petition site, they warned that they will be removing "fake names", which made me curious. I've just started looking over the list and I've already picked out Jack Meyoff, Michael Myers, and Right Wingnuts. Now all I need is to find Ivanna Humpalot and I'll be set.

	I think that the free speech protection only applies to government reprisal, not backlash from the marketplace. This works for me because I hate Imus, who should have been canned years ago when he referred to Gwen Ifill as the "cleaning lady". What an asshole! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

OK, my sympathy for him just went down a lot. :/ I will grant that I didn't listen to his show, but if Imus has consistently been an ass... I still think it's a wee hypocritical for the media to dump on him for making such a comment when one can turn on BET almost any time of the day or night and watch music videos that objectify black women and call them "hos", "bitches" and everything in-between, though.

	Yep, the ol' double-standard, it's-ok-if-rappers/blackcomics-say-it-but-nobody-else hypocrisy needs to be taken down next. Still, I'll take what I can get (and I'm an unabashed Gwen Ifill fangirl). Check out what she wrote in the NYT today: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/10/opinion/10ifill.html?_r=1&oref=slogin (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That is awesome. I like how she describes her reaction as "Oh?... Whatever." There's just something incredibly satisfying-sounding about hearing about a somebody not getting the memo on what some obnoxious media personality said about them for years and not caring when they finally do. It just puts them and their probable influence in perspective. (Reply to this)(Parent)
