Jack Black announced on Instagram that he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour and placed future projects on hiatus.
This happened after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked controversy by commenting on the recent Donald Trump assassination attempt.
At their recent Sydney show, Kyle Gass was given a birthday cake and asked to make a wish for his 64th birthday, to which he said “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
In his later statement, Black said he was “blindsided” by his bandmate’s comment and condemned any calls for political violence.
Exactly. This wasn’t an attempt on your run of the mill republican shitbag. This man is a real fucking threat and so are all of his supporters/followers.
When will you start with your assassination plans then?
he doesn’t have to do it,but he doesn’t have to be nice to the ones crying about agent orange getting shot at. fuck that orange removed.
Ah so if they have no income or anything else to lose, they’ll talk mad shit about assassinating a person. Yeah I guess that makes sense. Having absolutely fuck all to lose tends to lead to shit talk
if this were the case, it would have happened sooner. people are not in the best place over the last few years, living literally paycheck to paycheck. I’d bet stats would show higher suicide rates recently than before.
You all somehow are missing the point that an anonymous commenter saying shit isn’t significant compared with a person losing future work for years. Yes JB is a millionaire but he surely still has the right to work and it would be absolutely fucking moronic to give that up to stand behind something any media company wants plenty of distance from. What the fuck would it prove anyway? “We should all want terrible people dead. Hey in fact let’s all openly talk about that all the time too. Don’t agree? Fuuuuck youuu!!” Stupid.
Internet users really seem insulated from reality sometimes. It’s sad.
lol because we expect people to choose real world stances and fight issues rather than “well if I say I don’t like a bad person, I may lose money over it, so I wont stand for basic human rights and morals because it may hurt my wallet”. jack black is a pussy after throwing his partner under the bus.
That’s not what it would be standing for you sicko.
Coincidentally, at the same time as your’s.
Yours*
I’m not the one advocating violence like a troglodyte, that’d be you. Law enforcement will take note.
The point of my comment was to say you dont have a plan either. People are rightfully pissed. Project 2025 is the end of Democracy. If you wanna get upset at people for doing literally anything thats on you.
What a twisted individual.
!remindme 1 year
When Trump has had time to rape America into a christian nationalist ethnostate
In one or a hundred years it will still be bizarre to think that standing up for political violence is useful on any level. It doesn’t matter if you want trump dead. It’s the fact you think “standing up” for it changes anything an iota for the better
Standing up? As opposed to what? Supporting the system that birthed a class of corrupt officials in a little over one hundred years? Or just letting it flatten me and my family?
This is real. Real shit happens. If you are the one dialing for violence, and you’ve been stirring that shit up for years, dont be surprised when violence comes out the oven. Its about time people got mad. Its about time we said fuck you. You can’t do that. You can’t hide history from us. You can’t ban books. You can’t take away the one thing a fucking society is supposed to do for us. Its about damn time.
