Duck Dynasty

christian1971

I may be in the minority here, but I am sick and tired of all this duck dynasty merchandise. Cookies, clothes, glasses, cigars.....talk about overkill. Better then having honey boo boo crap. Are you sick of it?

Martel

Yes. And don't forget they're branding a wine, now.

Never seen the show but I despise this level of merchandising regardless of what it represents. Hate Sock Monkey and Justin Bieber for the same reasons, they are everywhere I turn and therefor I now hate them on principal alone lol.

Have no problem with a bunch of readneck boys making it big, plus I like the show........

No issues with them or the show, the marketing and merchandising is annoying when it is everywhere to me. Should have clarified.

Ken Light

Love the show, hate the whoring themselves out.

Watching Duck Dynasty makes my brain drip out of my ears slowly

Agree with the Show being absloute the best part of the family. Hilarious even. The merchandise I dont see as much but you know what they say, "make hay when the sun is shining!"

Somebody's buyin' what (Edited. ) are sellin', otherwise that stuff would just rot on the shelves at walmart. Anybody heard if the cigars are any good?

I love Duck Dynasty. I honestly think I was seperated from that family at birth. I do find the merchandising to be overkill and ridiculous. It will cause the end of Duck Dynasty. Remember most of these companies buy the merchandising rights. Sure they may have control of it along with the tv channel but they are grinding it into the ground.

I like the show but dont care for the merchandise. They now have their own brand of chapstick. Somebody is buying it. No wonder they are worth millions.

I love the show but it's slowly falling out of my rotation. The merchandise is crazy but I don't blame them. I heard they only get 10k an episode so why not make more, assuming they get cuts of those sales. I remember the same thing happening with Jeff Foxworthy...did you know he has grit flavored chips? lol...

In the store today I saw Duck Dynasty- Si slippers. Yes, now you can have his head covering you feet.

Is the latest controversy just part of the act? If not, surely A&E isn't surprised by Daddy Duck's comments. And doesn't this just boost ratings? Seems like more fake "reality" to me.

I dont think anything Phil does is fake. It really pisses me off that they suspended him. I guess freedom of speech doesnt exist anymore. This goes to show you that A&E doesnt approve of the bible and freedom of speech. Phil was stating things from the bible in which he believes in. What is happening to this country?

While I agree with most of what Phil said... A&E also has the freedom to not support him. No one is curtailing Phil's freedom of speech.

He's free to say whatever he wants and he did. He just happened to offend a few folks. Now they're saying what they want and his bosses don't care much for it. Such is life. It's not A&E's job to approve of the bible. There's lots of people in this country that don't follow the bible, which is often forgotten by those who do.

Freedom of speech and the right to practice one's religion freely, are two of the basic concepts this country is built on. And I don't care who you are, you better be real concerned when any one or any group starts messing with either one.

Protection from government influence is a founding principle. Just because you have something to say doesn't mean I, as a private citizen or business, have to give you a microphone. If I do give you a microphone and start saying things I don't like, I am also free to take that microphone away.

I don't think he isn't genuine. I believe he is. (Except for the made-up goofy situations that they portray on the show) What I was trying to say is that the reaction from A&E doesn't seem genuine. "Suspending" him seems like fake outrage to me. They are trying to salvage thier investment. Nothing more.

If he had made the statement on A&E, I could see their point. He was being interviewed by GQ, and was asked his opinion. Duh, his opinion should have been easy to predict, they've never been shy about their religious or social views. What happened? He stepped on the toes of a new religion, political correctness.
