Morrissey has issued a statement regarding what Jimmy Kimmel said last night during Jimmy Kimmel Live.
I was disappointed with last night's Jimmy Kimmel Show wherein our smiling host managed to ridicule depression (70% of Americans have experienced depression according to the National Institute of Mental Health). He then found time to ridicule healthy eating (the obesity epidemic in the U.S. costs $147 billion per year in medical expenditure), and he also ridiculed the notion that animals should be entitled to the possession of their own lives. Furthermore, he found time to jokingly promote gun-ownership - hugely amusing for the parents at Sandy Hook, no doubt. He also promoted his special guests Duck Dynasty - who kill beings for fun. None of the above issues are, of course, as important as Jimmy Kimmel himself, who has finally revealed his show to have an overwhelming loss of meaning. Tune in and relive the intellectual fog of the 1950s.
Moz should've gone on the show and promoted his message. Not hide under a rock a release a statement that only people who already agree with him will see.
I defended Morrissey before but I hate it when people get this upset over what comedians make jokes about. But, I didn't watch the episode so I can't really say much.
I have never liked Kimmel, but lets see Morrisey try and go out and make people laugh (with Kimmel try being the key word) every night while not offending anybody ever.
