It’s been awhile now since all the loads of media attention that Kathy Griffin snagged by her comments at the recent Emmy Awards. If you didn’t catch it, here’s a general recap:
In accepting the Emmy for her Bravo reality show, “My Life on the D-List,” Griffin said that “a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus.”
She went on to hold up her Emmy, make an off-color remark about Christ and proclaim, “This award is my god now!”
First who cares what Kathy Griffin says or thinks? I’ve never woken up to a new day and asked myself what Kathy Griffin thinks, or really any other Hollywood person. I should also specify that I don’t care what an actor/actress thinks that I actually agree with on some kind of philosophical level, definitely not one that I realize ultimately I don’t agree with on just about anything. Suffice it to say, my world has not been nudged, much less rocked over the last seven days.
This kind of stuff is what irritates me more than anything Kathy Griffin said or could imagine saying:
The Miracle Theater in Pigeon Forge spent $90,440 on a full-page advertisement in USA Today that ran nationally Monday, proclaiming “enough is enough.”
“We at The Miracle Theater consider it an honor to stand for Jesus today,” the ad said. “We may never win a national award. We may never be household names. We may never be seen in Hollywood. Although others may choose to use their national platform to slander our God, we are honored as professional entertainers to stand for Christ.”
$90,440 STINKING DOLLARS!!! I don’t know, but does anyone else think this group could have exhibited a little bit better decision-making skills when it comes to spending almost $100,000. I’m thinking soup kitchen, homeless, medical bills for someone, the single mom that needs daycare or a new car?
NO! They decide to take out a full-page advertisement in USA Today. If you or someone you know saw Jesus when you saw the ad, PLEASE let me know.
