Whoopie Goldberg fired for talking about a Bush

Sadly I have no English newssource, only a Dutch one and a few comments from sone dubious site.
Aparently "Goldberg delivered an X-rated rant full of sexual innuendoes against President Bush last night at a Radio City gala."
"Waving a bottle of wine, she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush's name in a riff about female genitalia, and boasted that she'd refused to let Team Kerry clear her material."
She was fired from Slimfast as their spokesperson for this incident. American companies often overreact when it comes to political sensitive material according to my newssource.

I wonder when they lynch someone when someone jokes about the whitehouse.

Re: Whoopie Goldberg fired for talking about a Bush

Afgan and Iraq women shave their private areas in order to convey a message "Read our lips: no more Bush!"

...or some such. Now they can take over the rest of the world and make a yo-yo out of me.

By "love" you mean you **** the dog in the ass.

By "hate" you mean the dog growls when you do it.

That's got nothing to do with it. What she did was effectively offend half the country (and even alot of people who don't like bush but thought her comments and actions were inappropriate). From a marketing standpoint, she killed her ability to represent their brand without alienating a large portion of their demographic.

It's got nothing to do the company's politics and everything to do with Slimfast wanting to be as far away from the fallout as possible.

Right ..... so , erm , a TV show like, say, the Sopranos, where crime is glorified and murder praised as long as you get away with it is a sponsors dream, but a "nip slip" is a national outcry, and a black women professing her opinions on politics is enough to get a posse raised and a public lynching?

Edit : Yes , the company wants to be as far away as possible from this, but shes a ****ing comedian who started out doing X rated comedy shows that even now seem raucous. What the **** did they expect ... she ISNT Oprah Winfrey, shes got far more talent than that

What did she exactly say then? Cause I can't find her famous line that got her fired.

big difference in the public eye between fact and fiction (usually). The fact is that no respectable company would actually dream of getting a REAL mob boss to sponsor their product .

And people are weird about politics...you can be the most offensive person in the world, but not alienate your fans until you start making political statements.

Sigh. I wonder how many pro-Democrat comedians would find it funny if people built comedy routines out of making fun of their candidate's names.
