Quote of the Day

I don’t think I’m alone in hating Tyler Perry’s immense success, but CNN has an interesting article about how he pulled himself up from nothing to do it. But then, when you’re ready to respect him, he says this crap. Bet you didn’t know fat suits are basically the equivalent of finding religion.

Perry said his critics are missing the point.

“They miss the messages of empowerment,” he said. “Sure, the silliness of ‘Madea,’ the silliness of ‘Brown,’ it’s broad, it’s over the top. Great. Fine. I get it. But how can you miss the message of forgiveness? How can you miss the messages of empowerment?

“I would love to share with them the letters that I’ve gotten from people. ‘This helped me get through a tough time.’ ‘I was gonna commit suicide.’ ‘My husband and I weren’t speaking until we saw “Why Did I Get Married?” It saved our marriage.’ “
