Current Events > Kathy Griffin officially unemployed! Loses all gigs and her only sponsor

(+) Yeah! (+)

http://www.dailywire.com/news/17122/kathy-griffin-loses-all-her-gigs-her-only-sponsor-joseph-curl?utm_source=dwemail&utm_medium=email&utm_content=052917-news&utm_campaign=position1

When you get fired by Squatty Potty, things are going badly.

Squatty Potty is a little plastic stool you put under your feet when taking a No. 2. The stool helps "mimic a perfect squat" while also having an "ideal foot position for maximum comfort." Now available in Slim Teak ($59.99) and Tao Bamboo ($69.99).

Yes, that was Kathy Griffin's only sponsor. And we're not saying that the 56-year-old whose career imploded after she released a picture of herself holding a bloody severed head modeled after President Trump isn't perhaps the perfect spokesman for Squatty Potty. We're just noting that SquaPa decided to give Griffin her walking (toilet) papers.

So, that's everyone. CNN (after waiting nearly a day) decided to can Griffin from her annual New Year's Eve appearance (where she flips people the bird and makes Anderson Cooper giggle like a school girl). And every single one of her upcoming gigs for her comedy show has been canceled. Every. Single. One.

Damn conservatives are so overly sensitive these days
---

Who cares.

Like, who cares about what she did, who cares that her stuff's been canceled.

I don't get why anyone cares.

Beep Bep.
---

Ill wait for the usual suspects to come in and say she didnt do anything wrong
---

Good. She went way too far.
---

Liberals cry, Conservatives fucking destroy you if you make them mad. I know which team i'd be on if I had a choice.
---

I heard the joke was based on what Trump said about some reporter's blood going to her head and to wherever. The caption on the beheading pic was a reference to Trump's insensitive commentary about a woman having her period.

But imo they could've sold that waaaaay better
---

Watch when this is what will bring her back from her D-list celebrity status.
---

She went from X-list to Z-list
---

Don't really care one way or another though I still find it interesting that GWAR did the same thing and it spawned a comic book.
---

Seems fair to me. Actions have consequences. These are hers.

Yeah saying the president and Hillary should be hung for unproven crimes is also horrible but as far as I could tell he didn't have a hanging Obama as a prop for his show.

Nugent didn't arrange a disgustingly graphic photo shoot. While we're on the subject Madonna threatened to blow up the White House and still has work too. Again, no disturbing photo shoots.

So when it's some right wing whose life gets ruined because of their dumb actions it's awful and PC culture striking again but when it's the opposite it's good huh

On topic who cares. I wasn't even aware she was still working in the first place

I hate Nugent but he still has more talent than her so of course he can still get work.

GWAR has a really niche fanbase. Most people don't even know who or what the fuck they are. Griffin did this as a public photoshoot that was shown all over.

*Not choosing one side or the other on what is happening with her, but these two things aren't really comparable.
---

She really expected this to blow over?

Aren't videos where a decapitated human head normally done by terrorist groups like Isis anyway? What an idiot.

Only if you're not a conservative, then you can threaten people, kill people, molest people, cover it up, get found out to be covering it up, liar your ass off on a daily bases and you'll still have your career and money.

who cares about her shit being gone, why is she a thing

I can just picture Doom_Art hunched over in his dark basement computer rapidly F5ing the topic list to find the first occurrence of any topics slightly unflattering to liberals so he can immediately shitpost in them and cry "waaaah consuhrvativz". Am I close?

Good she deserves it for not being funny

you're seriously equating a period joke to a graphic mock up of beheading someone?
---

Honestly if she'd handled the whole thing better she would probably be fine. She would lose some jobs but gain others. Instead she made it so no one wants to touch her

I'm merely stating the intent lol. I think it was horribly done, but it wasn't entirely devoid of intent like some people seem to think

Yeah if she had just laid low and not played victim she probably wouldn't have lost much.

Ok, so? She's still better off financially than any of us here.

She shouldn't have posted the severed head picture, but hearing a comedienne (who I'm not a fan of, btw) lost all sponsors and cancelled all tour dates is still a little depressing. This is no Michael Richards incident.

Compared to the comments about Obama and his wife that got many people canned over during the last 8 years, this seems perfectly reasonable.

I also find it kind of interesting that the group who wants trigger warnings before any content that might potentially hurt someone's feelings has no issue with publicly showing a decapitated realistic-looking head on mainstream media, especially when kids (i.e. Trump's son) can see it. Where did their hypersensitivity go on this issue?

SJWs aren't the entire left. You know this admiral. When did conservatives get so sensitive though?

I don't know, maybe when liberals started using ISIS's propaganda.

Scared? Not really. Think it's despicable and inappropriate for kids to see? Yes.

You know, Trump devastating you isn't really an excuse to throw your principles out the window.

Don't worry, she'll write a memoir about the whole thing called something like My Life After Donald, she'll cry on Oprah, then BAM - new york times best sellers list, set for life.

I thought conservatives were the party of free speech and expression. Guess that only counts if it doesn't hurt their feelings.

I think this will actually be the truth or something similar to this. I don't think Oprah is even still on the air.

Oh, no doubt there will be a moment where she's sobbing on some TV interview and acting like she's really the victim in all this. And I'm sure the Anti-Trump crowd will eat it up without question.

Admiral seems really testy.
