Five Things that are more important than Duck Dynasty this Christmas

I’m not going to editorialize (okay, not much) about the hysteria (from both sides) about the Phil Robertson interview in GQ. By the way, I read it so that I would know what I was talking about, did you?

Here’s the bottom line: Phil Robertson has the right to say whatever he wants. A&E has the right to hire or fire whomever they want. And none of us have a right to not be offended.

Shaun said it best over at Bearing Drift. Seriously — if the opinions of others offends you? Grow up and get a damn life, and be a bit more secure in your own belief system.

But, while the Interwebz continue to be ablaze about this story, did you know these things were happening?

  • 500 People died this week in South Sudan. Read about it at CNN.
  • North Korea has threatened to attack South Korea. Read about it at Australia Network News.
  • The ceiling of London’s Apollo Theatre collapsed, injuring some 76 people. Via CNN.
  • Some 40 million credit and debit card users had their account information stolen through a data breach at Target. Via Boston.com.

And for those offended by what Phil said, maybe consider what’s happening in places where you can get more than your feelings hurt:

  • A spokeswoman for Uganda’s parliament says lawmakers have passed a long-shelved law that punishes “aggravated homosexuality” with life imprisonment. Via USAToday.

Look, by all means, if you’re pro-Robertson or anti-Robertson, fire off your cards and letters to A&E. Just remember, it’s a business decision for them. It’s all about viewers.

But maybe do it with a little perspective on what’s really important.
