How the hell can you run an anti bullying campaign yet go out there earlier in the night and make fun of a man for having bal palsey? (Sp?)
Anyone else get turned off by this type of crap? Is it like "Oh we gave J.R's sauce some exposure, let's make fun of illness" You've gotta think this whole thing came from the brain of Vince right?
Does anyone know if Vince has a personal beef with J.R?
And in addition if anyone has called the company out on this in the media?

Yea but why? He seems to get a kick out of screwing him around, but does he really have anything personal that's pissed him off that much?

The only thing funny about that segment, was there was a Be A Star placque in the background. -_-

I found it hilarious that they had Otunga speak as a B.A.★. guest. Yeah, let's have the right hand man of the top heel in the company speak against bullying.  |

Really hope Linda's opponents in the Senate race use that crap against her. She tries to distance herself from the company now, saying she's not part of it anymore, but goes on about how she should be elected because she's a job maker.

How can you run an anti-bullying campaign and do ANYTHING that the WWE does on a weekly basis?
By acknowledging that it's entertainment. I know that this instance was particularly bad and entirely unnecessary, but we really just have to learn to accept it at this point.

I wish Vince McMahon would put personal crap aside and do what's right for the fans, not his bank account. Who cares what he likes and dislikes? It's not about him. He doesn't like tag team wrestling. Oh, well. The fans do. He doesn't like J.R. Oh, well. The fans do. Give 'em what they want.

If I remember right, they do it because they pissed off GLADD, and the start of the campaign was a way to appease them. |

I didn't really see the segment because when I saw Hornswoggle I instantly muted it and went to find something else to watch...
It is horrible how they are so rude to JR, Vickie, and anyone else..

Pulling random items out of JRs ass a few years ago was worse.
Life threatening surgery is funny, folks!

This kind of garbage will become commonplace again when they go three hours permanently.
Anyone who doubted WWE's screwed up formula for three hour shows shouldn't have to look any further than tonight. Instead of making a genuine effort to build some credibility into the mid-card, they used the extra hour for low-brow backstage comedy skits and an extra squash match.

The IWC: no sense of humour since forever. This goes beyond a sense of humor. Its flat-out disrespectful. Coming from someone with a disability.. your statement is ignorant. |

I hate it. JR is the greatest voice this business has ever seen and he's one of the greatest mind the business has ever seen. Add in the fact that he helped the WWE so much in the past 18 years and that fact that he suffers from Bells Palsy and everytime I see them make fun of him on TV it absolutely disgusts me. The fact that he is so loyal to a company that treats him like dog crap every chance they get shows how great of a man JR truely is. Most people would have given up years ago or simply got sick of it and exploded on McMahon. I love JR because he's a great mind, the best commentator in ANY form of sports (I know its not a real sport but  you JR makes it feel like one) and he seems like a genuinely great human being. |

But no matter what the case is, they know good and well not to do jack **** to King. Vince knows he'll walk if he feels like it. |

They are just jokes. Does everyone feel differently when a stand up comedian makes these kind of jokes? I think you guys have really thin skin if you can't take a joke on an entertainment show. Want jokes that are a little more wholesome? I'm sure ABC Family is running a rerun of Full House this afternoon.
