CBS got OWNED!
 

Muahahaha... Priceless.. Thight ass CBS owned by OUTKAST!

"We are very sorry if anyone was offended," CBS spokeswoman Nancy Carr said when asked about the NACC boycott. She declined to comment further.

Another familiar quote?
"It was the most disgusting set of racial stereotypes aimed at American Indians that I have ever seen on TV," NACC board member Sean Freitas said in the online statement. "It was on par with white people dancing sexually in black face, or yarmulkes ... I am shocked and outraged."

Now CBS is apologzing for the OUTKAST performance on the Grammy's .... mmmh... I guess it most have been a last minute change and no one at CBS knew about it... lol

Every shows on CBS should now get banned from the next Emmy Awards... unless they apologize on the air... lol

CBS apologizes for OutKast performance

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- CBS television issued a new round of apologies, this time for any offense taken at the American Indian-motif Grammy Awards performance by the hip-hop group OutKast that some Native Americans have condemned as racist.

The San Francisco-based Native American Cultural Center posted a notice on its Web site last week calling for a boycott of CBS, OutKast's label Arista Records, and the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, which sponsors the Grammys.

"It was the most disgusting set of racial stereotypes aimed at American Indians that I have ever seen on TV," NACC board member Sean Freitas said in the online statement. "It was on par with white people dancing sexually in black face, or yarmulkes ... I am shocked and outraged."

NACC Chair Andrew Brother Elk said he has lodged a formal complaint with the Federal Communications Commission over the telecast, which he branded as "racist TV programming."

A little more than two weeks ago, CBS came under fire from the FCC for the breast-baring Super Bowl halftime performance by Janet Jackson on the Viacom Inc.-owned network.

"We are very sorry if anyone was offended," CBS spokeswoman Nancy Carr said when asked about the NACC boycott. She declined to comment further.

The performance in question came near the end of the Grammy telecast last Sunday night, as OutKast singer Andre "3000" Benjamin, dressed as a Native American, led a show-stopping dance number built around the hit song "Hey Ya!"

The piece opened with the sound of drums and smoke wafting from a teepee-shaped structure before a group of female dancers emerged to bump and grind in skimpy, fringed costumes, braided hair and feathered headdresses. They were accompanied on stage by members of a university marching band.

Benjamin told reporters backstage afterward that the number was meant as an American Indian-inspired performance.

OutKast went home with three Grammys that night, including the coveted prize of best album for its hit double-CD release "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below."

heh, poor cbs :1orglaugh

Good gawd man!! People need to loosen the hell up.

Can you imagine the trouble they would have been in if the Village People had performed?

People take themselves too fucking serious. When did we forget to laugh at ourselves?

I never get offended with the typical Italian stereotypes... (mobsters), don't get offended with the word Wop. It's just a fucking word spoken by ignorant minds just as ******, kike or any other racial slur.

We have a highway/park here in Arizona called Squaw peak, the Indians were getting all uppity about the word squaw and how degradding it was... so they changed the fucking name to the indian girl from here that fought in the Iraq thing that is going on.

Get over it pewople.... it's just a fucking word.

America is wacked...

Land of political correctness. But usually only for white folk. Odd irony seeing a black band being taken to task for "racial stereotypes" :1orglaugh

ahhaha again here we go

CBS may be out of gas come next year...I wonder if the other broadcasting companies will pick up these awards in the future, knowing the possibilities of recourse are there? We'll see...

Hey did anyone hear about Janet Jackson showing her tit at the super bowl!! :1orglaugh

Hey, America, there is this song by the Eagles called "Get Over It". Sit back, have a few drinks, a prozac or 2, prepare yourself to hear the word "ass" *gasp* and have a listen.

I wonder what would happen is Eminem dressed in blackface...

I wonder what would happen if a football team decided to call themselves The Blackies...

I do find it funny that most go out of their way to be politcally correct to blacks but not so with Indians....

NBDesign, what if that place were called ****** Ridge instead of Squaw Valley?

post a pic!

Freeeeeeedommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh right.

Ppl need to get a freakin' life

yeah thats pretty funny.

They dressed like indians, what were they thinking!!
How dare they dress like indians!

They might have as well scalped some white men or got high on peace pipe or better yet, re-enacted the opening of a casino.

I just love when tight asses get a taste of their own medecine... lol

Just a shame that there isnt too many Native Americans in the US to boycott them...

Squaw Peak...

I would really not care... I am Italian... not black. Hell, they could call it Wopville for all I care. I am secure enough in myself not to let these petty things bother me.

Kinda reminds me of that South Park Xmas episode where the whole town ends up taking down anything that may be offensive. They ended up taking everything down from Mistletoe to friggin Stars on the tops of trees. The School Xmas play came around, and it was bland and tasteless and it incited a riot......

Yea, the white man invaded and took over just like we are doing in Iraq... God love americans... fuck the rest of the world.

when will it ever end :(

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Don't worry about all that


Just wait until the old people are gone, and my generation runs America... Our ethicless values are starting to shine through and theres no stopping it

F U C K C E N S O R S H I P

People suck... why do the morons in this world have to get all offended every time someone dose something they don't happen to like.. WTF is this world comming to?

I know

but you know the media uproar would have been much bigger had it been a derogatory term to a black person ;-)

fucking ridiculous

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Oh good GOD!!! This is getting to be a bit much!! I am Irish/Indian and I took no offense by this. As NBDesign said, "When did we forget to laugh at ourselves?".

What's next? I'll leave this one alone now. LOL

I knew Andre should have dressed as an Orthodox Rabbi and had a Jewish Congregation behind him-

:-))

rather entertaining watching these huge corporate compnany's doing a song and dance while trying to please everyone......it's a no win situation.

anything will offend somebody ..somewhere.:2 cents:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I would like to see that one, it's about the truth. Everyone is offended by something, looking to sue for some reason or another.

Politically correct CBS has truly no balls, trying to please every easily offended groups.. They deserve the trouble they got :2 cents:

And those kids that come to my door on Halloween dressed as Indians should be punished. As well as the companies that make the costumes. What the hell were they thinking. The Horror!

OWNED

you mean as in "people don't have the freedom to voice their opinions about something they find offensive"

:thumbsup

I changed my kids' costumes this year...I put them in blackface and jerri curl wigs....

And threatning with an organized boycott!? For a company, there's no difference between a mass boycott and going to jail.. in both cases, the conseqneces are great! Boycotting without a valid and rational reason is like throwing someone in jail without a valid and rational reason.. like in countries were freedom is not respected... get it!??

so... your against free speach? or just against ideas you don't agree with?

nice sig dipshit.
