I HATE GARRISON KEILLOR

http://therumpus.net/2010/05/oh-garrison/

Garrison causes controversy again. Though I really find it difficult to understand how people are missing the copious amounts of sarcasm present in this article and, indeed, in every word GK has ever written.

Looks like Powdermilk Biscuits is going to have to find a new spokesperson.

Dude gets up there every week and tells a 20-minute story from scratch.

The movie will be the best archive of this show in 20 years. Both the show and movie could've been called "Goofing Around and Mortality."

kinda like christopher walken in jonathan demme's movie Who Am I This Time?.

feel like this fucker's been retiring for a 100 years. last show this weekend, then I heard "oh but he's taking it on tour!" fuck that

i never liked prairie home companion but ever since garrison keillor died it's reached new depths of garbage. that new guy.

lmao i didn't know the guy from Nickel Creek was hosting APHC now, that sounds dreadful

He's not dead. He just stepped off the treadmill.

waiting for the GK Weinsteinish stories

(besides the one i overheard on the train)

in the meantime, we could spread rumors

i know he was not dead i was just wishful, like david brooks rip

my parents keep trying to get me to go to a PHC show and honestly i'd rather go with chris thile than keillor. heard through the grapevine he's (surprise) especially creepy to young women

i was gonna ask which one is but i'll just assume both. i stayed in the car to hatelisten when i got home tonight. he has his own style of mmhmm yes, sumptuous. it reminded me of whatever cankles said.

i forgot there are two threads and this is not the other one

he sounds like he is perpetually massaging his own balls

woebegone indeed

http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2017/11/29/garrison_keillor_fired_from_minnesota_public_radio_amid_allegations_of_improper.html

I hate this dude but this allegation-->FIRED IMMEDIATELY thing we have now is really fucking horrifying & disgusting

one would assume media companies have the goods on people if they're confident enough to fire them

(not saying there is no possibility of injustice, but i wouldn't bet on it in this case)

yeah I don't think "allegation-->FIRED IMMEDIATELY" is how this or any other high--profile case has happened at all

if anything it means that HR departments are moving quickly, which is a positive as far as I'm concerned.

His "interesting" explanation of what really happened specifically says he put his hand up under a woman's shirt, but since he was touching her bare back and he says he apologized the next day I guess that means it must be OK.

I am pretty surprised by this one, Charlie Rose, and Matt Lauer. These guys are so dull.

Worst recast of The Dreamers ever

“If I had a dollar for every woman who asked to take a selfie with me and who slipped an arm around me and let it drift down below the beltline, I’d have at least a hundred dollars.

Lol wtf.

I think he’s lying about what happened — an accidental pat on the back. I would be surprised if he was fired for that.

Even if it was a tepid sexual advance and he pulled back when it wasn’t reciprocated and then emailed her an apology.... like, that’s not the kind of thing these other people are getting fired for.

“If I had a dollar for every woman who asked to take a selfie with me...

Gee, were those women your bosses, or were you directly dependent on their good will for your livelihood?

“If I had a dollar for every woman who asked to take a selfie with me and who slipped an arm around me and let it drift down below the beltline, I’d have at least a hundred dollars.
Lol wtf.

ugh i keep hearing john fogerty singing this to the tune of "lodi"

kind of falls apart towards the end tho

i could have sworn it was here where i read some account about how horrible he is to work for but maybe it wasn't. or maybe it was on the noize board thread.

Dude is like 6'5"

uh...

It began airing nationwide in 1980 and grew into a hit that fueled MPR's growth into one of the nation's largest public radio operations. At the show's peak, Keillor drew 4 million listeners every week while serving as Minnesota's cultural ambassador, with tales of the mythical Lake Wobegon that gently skewered the state's strong work ethic, good-hearted earthiness and humble nature. Keillor appeared on the cover of Time magazine. His book "Lake Wobegon Days" sold more than 1 million copies in 1985. Playgirl named him one of the sexiest men in America.

what the fuck

i was overjoyed to hear this sumptuous news today mmmhmm

The story of his alleged misdeeds is “more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard,” Keillor wrote.

The thought of him monotonously narrating a homespun yarn about his sexual misdeeds is like some new undiscovered circle of hell.

interesting? that's the word he picked?

lmao moodles

Actual conversation that just happened between me and a nurse.

Him: can't believe about garrison Keillor
Me: I'm not surprised.
Him: what do you mean? I never took him for a letch. He was instantly fired...

He seemed offended so I threw him the peace sign

I have only good things to say about my biggest mentor/influence in comedy. I wasn't going to say anything, but the world has lost its mind. pic.twitter.com/DpDpzoVAMH

The world doesn't have a mind.

It does, but it's below average

i don't know who erica rhodes is but if garrison keillor is your biggest influence in comedy idk what to tell you, maybe choose another career

Waiting for the other shoe to drop on this guy too.

Oops, should've been this one

going after women who criticize him on Facebook now

I guess Donald Trump isn't the only one who reflexively responds to criticism by belitting *women* after trolling for comments about himself he wasn't tagged in by pages he doesn't follow. Just another day in the womanhood. pic.twitter.com/3TWTUSJcPO
