Morrissey responds to Kimmel taunts on cancellation

On Monday, Morrissey abruptly cancelled out of appearing on Jimmy Kimmel's late night show because he would have shared the stage with the cast of A&E's Duck Dynasty.

Kimmel, never one to let just about any opportunity slip by, promptly took on the cancellation with his monologue, a fake ad mocking the singers position on hunting and further jabs throughout the show.

Morrissey, who is no stranger himself to not letting an opportunity to make a point get by, has responded with a statement criticizing Kimmel's actions.

Watch Kimmel's comments below.



Morrissey responded:

I was disappointed with last night's Jimmy Kimmel Show wherein our smiling host managed to ridicule depression (70% of Americans have experienced depression according to the National Institute of Mental Health). He then found time to ridicule healthy eating (the obesity epidemic in the U.S. costs $147 billion per year in medical expenditure), and he also ridiculed the notion that animals should be entitled to the possession of their own lives. Furthermore, he found time to jokingly promote gun-ownership - hugely amusing for the parents at Sandy Hook, no doubt. He also promoted his special guests Duck Dynasty - who kill beings for fun.
None of the above issues are, of course, as important as Jimmy Kimmel himself, who has finally revealed his show to have an overwhelming loss of meaning. Tune in and relive the intellectual fog of the 1950s.
