    here's the story
    of an ugly lady

    Brady Bunch alum Susan Olsen fired from radio gig after homophobic tirade
    by Meriah Doty | The Wrap — 2 hours ago
    [​IMG]
    Former “Brady Bunch” child star Susan Olsen was fired from her hosting gig on LA Talk Radio after sending a homophobic-tinged message to one of her guests.

    The 55-year-old, known for playing Cindy Brady on the famed ’70s sitcom, co-hosted a radio talk show called “Two Chicks Talkin’ Politics” and went on a rant against openly gay actor Leon Acord-Whiting after the two debated various issues on the show.

    The actor publicized a private message Olsen sent to him on Facebook following the broadcast, which read, in part, “You are the biggest fag in the world.”

    Acord-Whiting followed it up with a statement: “It is wildly irresponsible for LA Talk Radio to allow a Trump fanatic to co-host one of their programs, where she can spew her idiotic lies unchecked. (Being a liberal and a patriot are mutually exclusive? Hillary is causing the protests & hate crimes? The Koran is a political tract?),” he wrote, mentioning topics discussed during his show appearance on Wednesday.

    “As much as I love [co-host] Sheena Metal, I think LA Talk Radio needs to give ‘Cindy Brady’ her walking papers,” he added. “I will not listen to or appear on any shows there from this point forward until she’s gone. This isn’t just disagreeing on, say, tax plans or foreign policy. Susan Olsen spreads outrageous misinformation and it is dangerous and unprofessional.”

    Olsen fought back, saying on Facebook, “This is the little piece of human waste. He blocked himself from me before I could even get one hit in. If you can find him, please send him my love.”

    LA Talk Radio said in a Friday Facebook post that it “will not tolerate hateful speech by anyone associated with our radio station and have severed our ties with a host that veered off the direction in which we are going.”

    The station added in its message on Friday that it “takes pride in its close and collaborative relationship with the LGBT community and will continue to provide a home for those who have hopeful and positive messages of togetherness and tolerance to share with our listeners.”​

    Koran is political in nature.
    Liberalism is for overthrowing the nation from within as was designed during tbe french revolution and refined all over the socialist world.

    And that guy does sound like a bitch.

    and yet he could call her anything he wants and nothing would happen
    i don't typically call a gay man a fag but everyone of us here uses the word amongst friends
    she didn't even say it on the air

    Saw " Nocturnal Animals" , and I would reccommend it as well acted, and deftly directed film...but I defy anyone to see this film, and not be totally blown away immediately- by the credits, believe it or not!
    They will certainly freak you flat fucking out...I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or scream...lol.
    Please...if anyone does see this film, absolutely post what you thought of the opening credits.
    Please.

    agreed
    he definitely sounds like a bkitch
    and what "unchecked lies" did she "spew"?
    as andrew dice clay once succinctly put it...
    you either suck dick, or you do not suck dick

    people worry too much about words instead of context

    not sure why i randomly tune in to walking dead still
    that has to be some of the worst writing and acting in the history of tv
    the pregnant pauses and staring at each other with no dialogue has to occupy half of the one hour show
    the end of tonights show has them all looking at each other trying to emote for the last 10 minutes
    i literally hate all the characters and hope they all get eaten soon
    that fat fkag w the mullet especially needs to go and what about the fucking zombies already?
    where are they isn't this a show with zombies
    neegan is the stupidest plot twist they could have thought of
    the first season was so good i guess it kept me checking in but this show is lost and someone needs to put it out of its misery

    She was banging the handsome guy (2nd husband, eventually), and had an abortion...imo, that makes you understand the book much more. And the ending, possibly.
    But what of the credits?
    It was like an horrible highway accident...you don't want to look, but you do anyway.

    EDIT: sorry thought you had seen it, too. Didn't read previous posts.

    Yeah, that one was really good. They all have been good so far.
    The first episode wasnt scary at all, it was a good take on our cultural need for approval based on ranking each other in a superficial and materialist manner.
    The hounted house episode gets your noddle working pretty good.
    The third episode was really fucked up.
    And the fourth about the heaven on earth simulation was spot on with what i figured the government/business would come up with when i was older in order to offer an alternative to the reality of death. I loved how the 'heaven' eventually becomes hell for everyone once they spend enough time there. And that the only true heaven is having faith in the great unknown. Which means you have no idea what is on the other side of death, or even if there is another side... but you are ok with that, you have come to terms with that... your end. Which means you are finally a grown up. No longer clinging to something like a child. Maybe then you can be trusted with knowing more. Which was Socrates main dialogue in Platos works.
