Daniel Franzese Defends Danny Pintauro, Anthony Mackie Walks Back Endorsement of Trump: MEME

Brothers Osbourne bring gay love to country music, Twitter movement to boycott "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" for not being racist


Anthony Mackie is walking back comments that he is a Donald Trump Supporter. Falcon found out that supporting Trump just didn't fly with his fans after he responded to a question about whether he'd rather run Donald or Hilary's campaign. “Trump’s an easy sell. When you look at Trump, he’s an easy sell because you can sell him as the guy who worked his way up from nothing. And I think if you’re a ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ candidate, people would identify with that. I’m on the bandwagon. I’m drinking the Kool-Aid!" After some online backlash, he tweeted "Sorry Donald, that wasn’t an endorsement. Just a bad attempt at a joke, I guess?"


Speaking of, in the comics, Falcon has become Captain America, and in his first comic, he's fighting Sons of the Serpent, a white supremacist group that hates everyone who's not white and Christian. But according to Clayton Morris, the "comic expert" for Fox and Friends, that's just not normal, when he should be fighting Hydra or punching Hitler. The thing is, Captain America has been fighting Sons of the Serpent since 1966. So Fox and Friends decided to make it about politically correct racism of modern society. This is the network that's always complaining that liberals make everything about race.


Since I seem to be on a roll, there's a Twitter movement trending to boycott Star Wars: The Force Awakens, because it's anti-white. “#BoycottStarWarsVII because it is anti-white propaganda promoting #whitegenocide.” and “White children deserve wholesome movies, not more PC anti-white diversity crap.” Others are chiming in with “It’s nothing more than a social justice propaganda piece that alienates it’s core audience of young white males.” It's funny to me that people will accept 3' tall green characters with a funny accent, but a black stormtrooper is beyond the pale.


Daniel Franzese wrote an editorial for Attitude defending Danny Pintauro against the negative press he's received since coming out as HIV+. "First people jump on The View hosts for shaming Danny, then some LGBT thought leaders direct their feelings of anger and disappointment at Danny himself. My beef is that these leaders write about ending stigma, but instead of writing a private note to Danny offering to advise him, they instead criticise him publicly. Why would anyone with HIV want to come out publicly if that is the consequence?

Yet LGBT leaders agree that only if more and more people come out publicly with their status will stigma be reduced. Publishing open letters, posting on his Facebook, tweeting about him, blogging—whatever the method, I don’t think any of this is constructive in fighting HIV stigma. Danny is being publicly shamed by some of the people he is trying to be a voice for."

I agree with Daniel that we often eat our own when we try to do good, and there's no evidence that Danny is trying to do anything but good. But his story is a muddled mess, and it's muddling decades of education about HIV. He definitely has a lot of positive currency from his celebrity to spend being a Beacon of Light, but he needs some polishing to be effective.


We all grew up with Tony the Tiger. He was there for us during Saturday morning cartoons, telling us we were all winners. Then we grew up, and had to make life without Tony. But Tony is back in a series of videos that Kelloggs probably doesn't appreciate, guiding the kids who grew up through some very adult situations. I'm not sure who is behind this, but this is the least disturbing of the videos they've obviously put a ton of work into.

Brothers Osborne are country. Very country. They've got the classic twang, and the modern look, with one looking like he came from CW casting, while the other has a bit more edge to him. But there song "Stay A Little Longer" is anything but typical country, and the video is even less so. The song is a modern ta on "Baby It's Cold Outside" in many ways, but it's entirely gender neutral, so it can be sung to men or women. And the video does just that, breaking a lot of country stereotypes, with interracial couples, older couples, and gay couples making out and getting it on. Not something we see a lot of in country music.
