Ummm, sidcrowe? In case you missed it, calling names is no longer welcome here...

A few other quotes deserving rebuttal...

what people aren't understanding is that snoop openly dose this suff, like you can look at his face and that's what you will think of,

For some reason this phrase really bugs me. It almost smacks of racism. I'm not sure how the look of his face makes one think of drugs, porn, etc. I suppose maybe if you have some prior context, but hopefully Patty's kids aren't getting exposed to that context (and if they are, that is the real problem, not Snoop's cameo)

The broadcast would have reinforced popular culture's sterotype of black males as foul mouthed, gangbanging, dope dealing homeboys.

If there is a line in the Muppet Christmas Movie script about capping some ho's maybe...but I'll have to see proof before I believe that.

B.B. King and Smokey Robinson, are a few ringers, that are well respected in the community.

And what community is that? NBC's coveted "teen" bracket?


and finally...

The act of murder transcends this debate.

Good people jostle one another with words–not bullets.

Those involved with the business of killing their fellows should never be entertained or tolerated by those who do not. While I do not believe in everlasting punishment, I DO believe in eternal vigilance against those who would soil and ruin the good things of the world.

In case you missed the news on the front page, someone else in league with murderers has recently made an appearance on a Henson related project. For some reason Sesame Street (which is targetted at kids) allowed an appearance by one Laura Bush, who is married to a George Bush, who has sent his gunmen into someone else's "turf" killing hundreds of civilians in the process.

Hey, I've got an idea. How about if we turn all this protest energy to a good cause. Currently the only places I'm able to buy Muppet music is in CD stores that frequently have posters up of offensive material. (I'll consider a Snoop poster as more of an infomercial than this cameo would have been). Why don't we all work to reopen the Muppet stores so we all can shop in peace?

Being as I seriously like Sidcrowe, Grail, Skeeter, and most others on here...I dont wanna add any gasoline to this. I do wanna comment on just the comments...not towards the people who said them.

I didnt care for the comparison of Snoop to fascist extremists.
That was out of line, as most of us are indifferent or dont care about Snoop one way or another...he isnt a threat.

Pat Robertson, Louis Farrakan, Jerry Falwell, and others I'd be horrified by...as they have shown off their true religious extremism.

To Jamie...I know your a moderator...but it seem slike people have stuff that needs to be said. And believe me, sometime soon these little 'heated' arguments will just be the tip of the iceburg(if various rumblings jhc related are indeed going down by year's end)

Due to a variety of complaints from all sides, this thread is being closed. Jamie and others have tried repeatedly to get this on topic and some have decided to continue to make personal threats against others in this discussion.

Calling others names will not be tolerated as that does not serve the purpose of this forum and can result in a termination of your account. Posting here is a privilege, it's not a given right if you abuse those privileges or make personal attacks towards others. This discussion and others related to Snoop are now closed. If new threads are started along this line they will be closed as well.

Henson made their decision to cut Snoop 12 days ago. As Jamie said we need to move on and stop hurting other people in the process. There are lots of other places on the Internet where you can debate Snoop's behavior if that's what you want to do.
