I AM DEFINITELY NOT A JIM CARREY FILM OR COMEDY FAN BUT I FELT THIS DESERVES TO BE READ.
Jim Carrey Slams 'Fux News' Over Gun Fight: It's a 'Media Colostomy Bag'
Funny or Die
The actor released a
statement slamming the network, which has criticized his spoof anti-gun
video all week, as "a last resort for kinda-sorta-almost-journalists."
Jim Carrey has returned Fox News' fire.
The veteran comedy actor earlier this week released a video [3] through Funny or Die in which he mocked the NRA and its late leader, Charlton Heston,
as gun addicts compensating for small anatomies; the video, which
included a country song that he sang, was called "Cold Dead Hand," a
shot at Heston's famous quote about protecting his right to a firearm.
Ever since, he has been slammed [6] by hosts on the network along with other right-leaning outlets; Fox's Greg Gutfeld called [7] Carrey "the most pathetic tool on the face of the earth" and added, "I hope his career is dead."

Carrey released a statement on Friday, which can be seen below:
Since I released my "Cold Dead Hand" video on Funny or Die this
week, I have watched Fux News rant, rave, bare its fangs and viciously
slander me because of my stand against large magazines and assault
rifles. I would take them to task legally if I felt they were worth my
time or that anyone with a brain in their head could actually fall for
such irresponsible buffoonery. That would gain them far too much
attention which is all they really care about.
I'll just say this: in my opinion Fux News is a last resort for
kinda-sorta-almost-journalists whose options have been severely limited
by their extreme and intolerant views; a media colostomy bag that has
begun to burst at the seams and should be emptied before it becomes a
public health issue.
I sincerely believe that in time, good people will lose patience
with the petty and poisonous behavior of these bullies and Fux News will
be remembered as nothing more than a giant culture fart that no amount
of Garlique could cure.
I wish them all the luck that accompanies such malevolence.
