Even Forbes Magazine contributor asking for Kevin O'Leary to be yanked off of ABC and the CBC

[Quixote1818]

Snip> It is appalling that O’Leary has so much airtime in Canada on CBC’s The Lang and O’Leary Exchange and in the United States on ABC’s Shark Tank. The reality is that the billions of people living on less than $2.50 a day often lack access to clean water, basic education and food. This is a moment for CBC and ABC to show some responsible leadership, and yank O’Leary off the air. His comments are as offensive as Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson’s anti-gay remarks, which prompted A&E to immediately suspend the show (though a backlash by fans forced the network to reverse its decision and reinstate him). Since the show returned to TV, millions of viewers have changed the channel, resulting in a hit to the network’s advertising revenue.

1. "For the 3.5 billion people around the world struggling to make ends meet, it's about survival. Why

is that so hard to understand?"

Because they're greedy, self-absorbed assholes who don't give a shit about anyone but themselves who have never had to struggle to make ends meet.

2. He should get the "Singapore Special" like the British banker who was forced to flee Singapore

after making a comment about poor people there. He's currently in Australia. Not only did he receive death threats, he was fired from his job. That's the problem with Canadians, too friggin' nice. Even if they did drop kick his butt out of there, they'd probably be very courteous about it.

3. check out this exchange between Kevin O'Leary and Chris Hedges

To call O'Leary a piece of sh*t is an insult to sh*t.

[Festivito]

5. Hedges is phenomenal.

That pinhead O'Leary needs to be called a pinhead and shown as a pinhead for all to see.

[Enthusiast]

6. A complete right wing asshole.

Hedges was fabulous.

Yay, Occupy!

4. I will GLADLY K&R this thread.

There aren't many more despicable people on air than Kevin O'Leary. I normally don't HATE tv people...but him, I do hate. He's disgusting. Just another rich kid who thinks he worked hard to get where he is, and that he's more deserving than everyone else because he 'works hard'. And most rich people who think the same, who are every bit as disgusting, know better than to let their stupidity show. Not him. He's got a giant ego to go with that stupidity. ugh.
