How’s this story? I just read that Morrissey canceled on Jimmy Kimmel tonight because he didn’t want to be on the same show as the Duck Dynasty peeps. In his defense it’s because he’s an animal activist, not because he hates reality. His peeps issued this statement yesterday: “Morrissey is thankful for being invited to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live tomorrow, February 26.  However, he cannot morally be on a television program where the cast members of Duck Dynasty will also be guests. Morrissey would be honored to play the show, if Duck Dynasty were removed…” 

He added, “As far as my reputation is concerned, I can’t take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers. If Jimmy cannot dump Duck Dynasty then we must step away.”

Listen, I respect Morrissey’s position, but those Duck Dynasty guys are funny. Morrissey hasn’t been in the spotlight forever and he’s choosing to give it up just so he’s not in the same show? They could have compromised and the Duck Dynasty guys could have gone faux for a day…instead of Duck, it’d be F*ck, or Tof*ck (I swear I’m not trying to make this dirty, but maybe that’s why there is no faux duck!!)

It’s not Jimmy’s fault that ducks are trendy these days…the show is just trying to keep up with the times! And ducks are in!

    I certainly don’t blame the Kimmel show for not canceling the Duck dudes because Morrissey demanded it, but I definitely respect Morrissey’s willingness to stand by his principles.

    No censorship for me, please. He has no right to keep Duck dudes from being on–you don’t HAVE to slaughter ducks just because you like the guys on the show. Phil and Si are hilarious.

    The best part of the show is that the family unit is so great–they actually care for each other.

    I haven’t confirmed my hypothesis, but since so much of television advertising is about food, I bet there is a really good chance that some kind of meat is being advertised on Jimmy Kimmel, anything from Oscar Mayer to Subway. Morrissey is grandstanding for attention.

    @crankyguy – Agreed. I’m sure he’s getting more publicity by refusing to go on than he would have if he did. And I think the Duck Dudes are hilarious.

    The Duck Guys came by their money honestly, and at the end of the day, are way better people than that cranky bastard Morrisey.

    And now I have this fantasy of Morrisey being thrown into the wild and forced to actually live off the land with nary a vegan grocery store in sight.

    Who the hell is Morrisey? I’m probably showing my age or lack of what the hell ever is going on in popular culture, but I’ve never heard of this guy.

    On the other hand, I love the duck guys and would absolutely kill to be invited to one of Miss Kay’s yummy duck dinners!!

    Headline should be: Aging Singer seeks publicity and relevance.

    At least he’s getting one of his wishes.

    In the picture with this article, Morrisey looks like Taylor Hicks’ brother.

    Now Morrissey is bathering to the press that if there were more gays, there would be less violence because gays don’t kill other men. Apparently he’s never heard of Alexander the Great, Ronnie Kray, Jeffrey Dahmer, any number of Nazis, John Wayne Gacy…and the list goes on.
