After an insensitive tweet led to the firing of her social media manager, Paula Deen has some explaining to do. Earlier Tuesday, the person running Deen's Twitter account tweeted a photo featuring the culinary celebrity and her son, Bobby Deen, dressed up as the characters Ricky and Lucy Ricardo from the television show "I Love Lucy."

It was a Ricky and Lucy thing, was Ricky supposed to be Norwegian?

Personally, I don’t find anything wrong with it. However, does Deen not remember all the financial flack over the “N” incident? One would think that if they got slammed so hard before.. they would be a bit more careful in the future. That being said.. it’s her name/business/and money.. she can do what she wants.

No.....but I think Paula needs to be careful. She is already under the microscope. However with all the hoopla going on today.....this is from 2011. I understand that this was all over the media in every place from FR which I was actually happy to see.

The reaction is stupid. People are pathologically offended over anything.

You know, on Saturday Night Live, they never use makeup to look like somebody else. [/SARCASM]

Are they sure he’s wearing makeup? I think I’ve seen him before and if he’s the same guy I’m thinking of he’s pretty swarthy. I suppose that word is racist now.

SWARTHY SWARTHY SWARTHY!!!!

I just wish Bobby and his mom would stop phuking with our Southern food. She goes over the top.....he cuts the calories. ENOUGH!!!!!!

I get truly pissed about the foodie chans trying to mess with our culture and food.

True he does cut calories which equates to taste. I hate her sons.....privileged brats. I hate the husband too.

One of the courses that should be part of every student’s curriculum ... how to walk on eggshells. This PC crap is way out of hand.

This is just subtle way of getting rid of our freedom of speech. IMHO

Kinda went overboard on the makeup. Looks more like Lucy and obama.
