In response to "much like hiring Roseanne and putting a mic in her hand, or a laptop, and then wondering why it went wrong -- nm" by groiny

True - but I don't think those things are equal. Roseanne was given a gig THEN posted up her stupid shit, so she got fired from said gig.

Hart's shit is 7-8-9 years old - meaning it was out there when he was given the gig. Then - someone decided to go mining for offensive material - and now they want him fired for it.

That's a big difference for me.

That being said - no one should have ever given Roseanne a mic. Ever.

- Definitely - but that's not why she got fired. She got fired for the NEW shit she was saying. That's all I'm saying. nm - Mayor of Slamtown Dec 6, 13:39 5
  - It may be old news but it's the new vibe, and that's all AMPAS needs to make the decision. -- nm - Max Dec 6, 13:44 3

      - Right now all this would be is "It's so unfair I don't get to host the Oscars because of something I said in public a while ago." - Max Dec 6, 13:56 1
