He is calling for a boycott of season 7 of Seinfeld. How many listeners to Jackson were going to buy the dvd in the first place? My guess would be very few. Does a boycott work if you were not ever planning on buying the dvd?

Even after Richards appeared on his radio show?-lol

That is dumb.

Seinatra · 11-28-2006, 07:30 PM

That is odd, he was on his radio show. I guess he didn't think his apology was real, or did enough to make it up. I wonder how much Kramer gets for each DVD that is sold? Anyone have any idea?

Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson lives in a glass house when it comes to racist remarks. As such, he should not be throwing stones.

There are some things Jesse Jackson has done that I admire him for, but in this case, man, he is way out of line, very hypocritical. You said it well, AKA

How is that helping out Richards? What kind of preacher is this guy? Oh, wait a minute, it's Jesse Jackson.

FrankCostanza · 12-03-2006, 11:19 PM

Jesse Jackson is a moron for several reasons. First of all, Richards makes zero dollars per Season 7 set sold. Second, he still calls himself a reverend even after he committed adultery. Lastly, he thinks he is a good civil rights leader. He is not. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a good civil rights leader. So was Malcolm X. Jackson is a moron and Richards should have never went on his show period.

I don't think that that a boycott is the answer to the problem. The damage is done. If people want to buy it, they should be able to without problem. I'm not participating in the boycott but I will not be buying the DVD set. Richards was a jerk!

I read that he does in fact make $$$ from the DVD's.

ThomasE · 12-05-2006, 12:10 AM

He better make it from the sales because I don't think that stand up comedy will be a forte' for that fool.

LMAO! Exactly. And why does he do "stand-up" for? Is he in the need of cash that bad?

ThomasE · 12-05-2006, 12:15 AM

I don't know. He must be. Stick to sitcoms if you manage to get another deal. LOL.

That's the problem, he gets a sitcom, AND NO ONE WATCHES.

ThomasE · 12-05-2006, 12:22 AM

LOL. Let us remember the year 2000 and the sitcom that was canned. Que Lastima!
