More from America’s most boring newspaper.
Via LA Times:
The culture wars are back, and this time, the battle alarms sound like duck calls.
The most recent episode of A&E’s blockbuster show, “Duck Dynasty,” is a Christmas-themed show called “O Little Town of West Monroe.” Its contrived plot revolves around the idea that members of the Robertson family, who have a duck call business and look like ZZ Top impersonators, will star in their church’s Nativity play.
Over the course of the 30-minute show, the hairy, bandanna-wearing brothers fake-bicker about Christmas gifts for their hot blond wives. In one bit, moderately amusing at first then repeated until painful, the youngest brother Jep, 35, rehearses variations on his one and only line: “We have no room here.”
As always, though, the weirdest and most interesting part of the episode is the subplot involving family patriarch Phil Robertson, 71, who was suspended from the show indefinitely by A&E Network on Thursday for inflammatory remarks about homosexuality in the January issue of GQ. Phil is a “born-again” Christian and self described “Bible thumper.”
