Cold Dead Hand vs. Cold Dead Brains

Last week on Funny or Die, Jim Carrey released a music video called "Cold Dead Hand." The video presents a satirical view of those who blindly follow the NRA as it shills for the gun manufacturing industry while claiming to represent hunters and sportsmen.

Shortly after its release, FOX "News" went apoplectic over Carrey's music video. Click here for the FOX response.

Those capable of critical thought will immediately recognize that the commentary from the propagandists at FOX is an ad hominem diatribe comprised entirely of opinion with neither substance nor factual support for what is said about Carrey. That, of course, is to be expected from FOX.

This is Jim Carrey's response to the FOX attack dogs.

Since I released my “Cold Dead Hand” video on Funny or Die this week, I have watched Fux News rant, rave, bare its fangs and viciously slander me because of my stand against large magazines and assault rifles. I would take them to task legally if I felt they were worth my time or that anyone with a brain in their head could actually fall for such irresponsible buffoonery. That would gain them far too much attention which is all they really care about.

I’ll just say this: in my opinion Fux News is a last resort for kinda-sorta-almost-journalists whose options have been severely limited by their extreme and intolerant views; a media colostomy bag that has begun to burst at the seams and should be emptied before it becomes a public health issue. 

I sincerely believe that in time, good people will lose patience with the petty and poisonous behavior of these bullies and Fux News will be remembered as nothing more than a giant culture fart that no amount of Garlique could cure. 

I wish them all the luck that accompanies such malevolence.

Having read Carrey's words, I'm quite sure a lot of folks won't like them. They'll say he's doing the same thing as the talking heads on FOX and simply attacking them. There is one critical differences, however.

Carrey clearly  states that his harshly worded response is his opinion; FOX packages its rant as "News."

The inability of many people to recognize that difference is the secret behind the success of FOX "News."

Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes have profited greatly by pandering to those who lack such understanding, but  they do so at a tremendous cost to the nation. The FOX formula of disinformation, deceit, and diatribe is the engine which drives the ultra-partisanship and inflexibility in today's America that renders political compromise almost impossible.
