[Kevin G]

I have to hear your guys opinions on this. Did anyone here about this ?:

Yes, we have. Michelle Malkin is a toad. Her chances of affecting any change in this self-righteous campaign of hers are approximately zero.

[chrisdude]

I'm not even gonna read all of that. I love Michelle Malkin. I think she's smart, and I agree with many of her political views, but she's been ragging on Biggs for weeks.

And it's pissing me off.

I just don't hink what Jason Biggs does on her personal time does, or should be expected to mirror his work or the views of his audience. The show is the show, and his tweets are his tweets. I don't care if he starts doing porn and tweets his work. As long as he pulls a good Leo, I'm happy.

The only mistake anyone made is this situation is the @tmntmaster account tweeting Jason Biggs twitter handle to turtles fans. Obviously, they didn't realize what kind of things he tweets.

And what good does boycotting do? Does she expect to teach Nick a lesson? Teach them to make sure none of their employees like lewd humor? That's no crime.

"Like disgusted parents across the country, I put my foot down and am standing up for decency: No more Nick."

Ugh. I do so despise scandalmongers. Especially conservative Christian ones.

This is about a month old and there is a thread about it already that has been locked. Jason should be fired for his actions because people have been ousted for much less and he is nothing but controvsersial so the hiring is a head scratcher.He has not done voice work before in the first place.Let's just hope for his firing if we want him out or his maintaining voice work as Leo if we want him to continue and leave it at that.No need to bring social politics around the mb.

That's true.The other voice actors including Sean Astin have a good voice over background.Biggs' claim to fame was American Pie and has no voice over experiance.I do agree with Michelle Malkin on a lot of things but this is not one of them.I will continue to watch the new series.As I said I always serperate the actor for the character they play.So,there.

I hate it when they replace voice actors. I really could care less about Biggs being used or not, but if they replace him I would rather it be sooner rather than later. I was already weary about his longevity assuming that his VA duties would eventually interfere with his movie career.

[chrisdude]

Actors get into voice acting all the time. Specifically, every year when animated movies that cost tens of millions of dollars come to blow up the box office. I don't hear anyone objecting to his take on Leo...

[BubblyShell22]

While l like Biggs's take on Leo, I agree that he needs to tone down on the lewd comments because he's working for a company that's family friendly. I'm not going to boycott the show or Nick though as they corrected the mistake of putting his link for his Twitter off of their site. But honestly, Biggs would not have been my first choice for Leo. I would've picked either James Arnold Taylor or Cam Clarke to do the role instead.

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's the "BUT WHY WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!" argument.

Not everything is made for kids, nor should everything be made for kids. And the only people who should be determining what IS for kids are their specific parents. Not some talking head on tv.

Seriously, when did it become so hard to talk to one's own children and say: This language is rude, and we don't talk like that in public.

[dkram230]

I honestly don't think kids give 2 craps about who is voicing their cartoons, so it's not like because little Jimmy is a TMNT fan he's all of a sudden going to take an interest in Jason Biggs' life. Jason should be able to say whatever he wants on his Twitter unless his contract says otherwise. The fault lies with Nick in this case, who should have never linked the account in the first place without screening it. But it's out there now and there are a lot of yuppy parents who may have issues if they catch wind of it. The same thing happened with Miley Cyrus when some racy pictures surfaced while she was still filming Hanna Montana. Ratings dropped as a result and never recovered. Granted I believe the show was nearing the end of its run anyway.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

The reality of the situation is that no one really cares about the children. They complain because THEY'RE offended, not because they think it'll have a negative effect on children.

[Oculus Orbus]

I liked his Leo, and I couldn't care less about what he does in his private or public life. He's an actor, not a role model, and he's not allowed to express any of his thoughts using Leo's character. He goes in the studio, performs the script someone else wrote, and then goes on with his life.

The audience shouldn't expect to agree with every thought of every person working on TV. I mean, there are hundreds of people in the making of Nick's TMNT. Some of them might even be horrible people, but so what? Does it make the show any worse? Does it affect kids in any way?

If you wanna talk about old news, bump the old thread. & for Gods sakes guys, try to avoid the politics, threads never end well on that subject...

HELLO

LARRY THE CABLE GUY In cars 2.. are all his jokes kiddie like outside this movei???????

i rest my case

[Candy Kappa]

some people are looking for things to be offended off

[Heather Breckel]

I think the parents need to understand that they probably shouldn't be letting their children view twitter if they're really that concerned about them being exposed to bad things.

THIS.

There are no parental settings or rules against adult content on twitter. Just a check box asking if you'd like to see mature content, and a check box asking if your content is mature.

But Nick is a kids network and TMNT is a kids show, and Biggs is a spokesman for it. Did you even read the article? That's exactly what Michelle Malkin is doing, she's not letting her kids watch Nick. She's not telling anyone else they shouldn't watch Nick or that Nick should be banned. Look I'm not gonna be upset if Biggs stays. But I'm not gonna care if he gets fired either.
