Uncommon Commentary #383: Their Version Is Per-Version
As
you probably already know, the cable-television network A&E has
indefinitely suspended Phil Robertson from appearing on its program Duck
Dynasty, over an interview that he did with GQ magazine in which he
voiced opposition to homosexual behavior.
You may not know that (A&E's parent network) ABC will be airing a
special featuring Miley Cyrus, whose recent performance "twerking"
with a giant teddy bear was the centerpiece of what has been called the most revolting
spectacle in the entire history of television.
And so, Robertson is in disfavor for opposing depravity, while Virus—I
mean, Cyrus—is in favor despite committing
a depravity. Do you have a sneaking
suspicion that the ABC/A&E executives will be in some trouble on Judgment
Day?
