His use of large quantities of garlic, hot sauce, or booze seems to cause the most audience excitement - as if they are shocking or naughty substances. That has grown tiresome.
Well, so much for the Texas BBQ's I loved drooling over...sent in my complaint, forwarded it to all in my address book! To he** with them.
I agree. If you post contact info, we'll let our thots be known.
I've been a big Food Network fan but I think that I'll tune out and read the Bible instead; far more enriching than watching Bobby Flay pretend to be an authority on Southwestern cooking or barbecue (he seems to know how to "grill" but not barbecue.)
Would they ever allow someone from New Mexico to be presented on multiple shows as the authority on New York deli food? ;-) Probably not.
So long "30 Minute Meals" and "Everyday Italian." The Food Network was one of the very few things I watched, but no longer.
The only E.W. Scripps executive likely to have an axe to grind with the Boy Scouts must be an angry and frustrated pederast.
Seriously, who else would sign-off on such a bizarre temper tantrum?
The folks at Scripps seem to have their fudge packed a bit too tight.
Can anyone find and post ALL companies that this E.W. scripts is in charge of or has any influence on them?
Maybe we can get our list together and find out new products to buy from companies that do support the BSA.
This stuff is just disgusting. It makes me sick. If you ever listen to any old time radio programs you will here how the USA has changed. They used to support BSA and would let the owner of Kraft come on each year to give a Christmas speach.
If you ever get a chance to listen to the Great Gildersleeve. Do it. I have every episode that I know of and it is a great show that has a lot of humor but also has many lessons for kids and young families alike.
Are all the cable networks being taken over or something?
Maybe it does, but we won't be watching their network in my house until the Boy Scouts are on...maybe never.
The competition to add a new show to Food Network was just recently won by a couple of gay guys. I guess they don't believe in diversity by including the Boy Scouts.
I thought Home & Garden Television had gotten unwatchable because it has been invaded by mostly gays. Now the Food Network is following in their footsteps.
I think I'll just turn it all off and go for a walk (which is better for my health anyway).
I just finished emailing them tonight because of a show done by Mariel Hemmingway in CUBA where her grandfather lived for a while. She made it sound as if it was a fantastic place to live. In fact, she said that she "hoped" the Cuban people could pull their country out of it's "hard times" it was having lately. I was furious! What a dumb*ss.

Cat Cora is a PC Iron Chef..
I guess the Food Network can't deal with real manly cooking, as opposed to some of the candy asses they have on.
the next iron chef america:
the boy scouts vs the two new fags they hired
secret ingredient: foot long weiners
one caveat for the gay boys you could only use them for cooking

This was a calculated intolernat political move by the suits at e.w. scripps.
Scouting was all about camping, getting merit badges and doing things for the community. We learned how to properly whittle wood, start a campfire, use a compass, etc., etc. We used to go around Saturday mornings picking up trash in run-down neighborhoods and blazing trails in the nearby woods.
As for homosexuality, it's only an issue in Scouting because pedophiles and other deviants are attracted to the organization because of all the boys. When I was growing up, I remember at least two Scout leaders who were bounced out because they tried to get too close to the boys. It's not that the Scouts have a vendetta against homosexuals, they are just trying to protect their members. Is that such a bad things?
All this Scouting backlash by the media is a bunch of nonsense. Scouts are discriminated against far more than they discriminate against others.
They banned the boyscouts so I just banned them from my home! You will be missed!
