Singer Morrissey won't appear on Kimmel with 'animal serial killers'
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The TV series "Duck Dynasty" is coming between Morrissey and Jimmy Kimmel.
The singer and animal rights activist says he canceled his appearance Tuesday on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" because "Duck Dynasty" cast members will be on the talk show.
Morrissey said Monday he can't perform on a show with what he called people who "amount to animal serial killers."
A&E's "Duck Dynasty" reality show follows a Louisiana family with a business selling duck calls and decoys.
A&E did not immediately respond to requests for comment from it and the Robertson family.
A person familiar with the Kimmel show's plans confirmed that Morrissey was to appear. The person lacked authority to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The person says Morrissey's performance will be rescheduled.

And now he knows how Joan of Arc felt. Now he knows how Joan of Arc felt.Â
He's just mad because a bunch of hillbillies make more money than he does.
I could see his point more if it was the owner of a beef or pork farm. these guys just make duck calls.

@tonyatawana yep, Morrissey's an uberdouce who thinks he's way more popular than he really is in America.
@JustAnotherMo Did you know that heâs got a huge Mexican fan base that ignores heâs (most likely) gay.
@tonyatawana no but I'm not surprised, Catholics + Mexico = Cognitive Dissonance
Serial killers? How about protesting being on the same stage as just plain ol' do-as-the-producers-say-brain-dead-pretend-reality-TV.
Wouldn't have thought Kimmel's target audience would know our give a hoot about washed up Morrissey. His allowing his personal politics to interfere with his business will reinforce his current role in society. Nobody cares...
I love the Smiths and Morrissey's music. I don't care what his politics are.
Never heard of Duck Dynasty, but I suppose I'll be catching snippets of it on The Soup.
Is this a show that caters to the Redneck Wedding and Honey Boo Boo types?
Im surprised anyone knew what duck dynasty was. All his move did was put an unknown little show on the front page of the news.
Exactly! I'd never hear of Duck Dynasty until this made "news".Â
Oh goodness, how will the angst-ridden, diary-clutching, Belgian teenage girls deem life worth living?
Duck Dynasty! Rocks. I do not even know who Morrissey is or the Smiths, but not excepting TV appearances is probably the reason why is he unknown.
@Grumpa I think you mean not accepting.

but, on the other hand, even his music has focused on "Meat is Murder" (a song from their 80's album) talking about the heifer cries, the beautiful creature must die, it's not succulent, tasty, it's murder. So, props for integrity whether you agree with him or not!
@Dinae Laughsalot Thanks for posting that. While I never watch Kimmy Jimmel anyway I now feel justified in not doing so if he has acts like that.
If you want to know why he's famous, search for The Smiths song "How soon is now?"Â or search for Morrissey's own album and songs like "Girlfriend in a Coma" and "I've come to wish you an Unhappy Birthday, because you're evil and you lie."
Sounds like a real happy guy to be around.......NOT!
@Dinae Laughsalot Sounds like this little Emo has issues, and meat IS murder......tasty, tasty, flame broiled, juicy murder. Mmmmmmmm.
I've never heard of this guy.
@Tacoma ER Doc You're joking, right?
@Tacoma ER Doc Because he's apparently not half as important as he thinks he is.
Go Duck Dynasty! I love that show. Si cracks me up. As for Morrissey, never heard of the guy. He must be a plant eater. Let him go back to his grass and weeds. I'll take fresh meat any time!
Hey Jimmy? Call up The Nuge. HE'LL come on your show, be more popular than THIS whiny little tree hugging puke, AND you'll get better ratings!
@Harley-H.S.C. YES!!!. I really wanna know how to properly poop my pants to get out of serving in the Military.. I have questions! Like, how long do you have to not shower, and defecate in your pants to get the desired effect. Then he can show us how to get away with statutory rape...<sarcasm<
Did he mean doctors and clinics who do serial abortions (killings)?
Hannibal Lecter: You still wake up sometimes, don't you? You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the tofu.Â
Clarice Starling: Yes.ÂHannibal Lecter: And you think if you save poor Catherine, you could make them stop, don't you? You think if Catherine lives, you won't wake up in the dark ever again to that awful screaming of the tofu.Â
What a loser...
Animal serial killers? You've got to be kidding me. Good lord even I want to punch that guy in the face.
@Dredd57 Hummmm, you want to "punch him in the face" simply for wanting a kinder, more compassionate world? Yes, that would be an expected response...........
@jenshens@Dredd57No, for being an egotistical doucheb*g. People like him live up their own @s$. Â
@Dredd57 @jenshens That sums him up. Google his name with controversial comments. He is quite the c word.
Aflack
@lakeunion He won the Oscar, please don't mock.
