Viewership Tanked From 10 Million to 1.5 Million
"Duck Dynasty," the A&E reality TV series featuring anti-LGBT right wing religious extremists, has been canceled, USA Today reports. The five-year old show gained popularity quickly among the radical right but grew even more popular when patriarch Phil Robertson gave an interview to GQ just before Christmas, 2013.
In that infamous interview, Robertson was revealed to be a religious extremist. He attacked gay people as sinners, saying:
Everything is blurred on whats right and whats wrong, in todays modern world. Sin becomes fine.
Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men.
Dont be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlersthey wont inherit the kingdom of God. Dont deceive yourself. Its not right.

I guess the fans are suffering from outrage fatigue now.
