@raphjd said in Harry Shearer fired as Dr Hibert:
@bi4smooth
It is hypocrisy when they say that whites can't play any other race, but that other races can play whites.
I'll give you that.... (Hey! We agree on something!)
But, it's important to note here that no one lost their jobs: Harry Shearer (the prior voice of Dr. Hibert) will still be the voice of Principal Skinner, Mr. Burns & Smithers, and several others... just not Dr Hibert.
And, no one new was hired: Kevin Michael Richardson is already the voice of several characters (including Maggie LOL). The character was simply re-cast
That said, Harry Shearer has regularly threatened to leave the series over salaries... they make $300,000 PER EPISODE! (No one is paid per-character, so no one's pay is being changed, either!)
So this is either extremism looking for something to be outraged about, or rich people fighting over who voices a bit-part... (Did you see that dog pee on that mailbox over there! That's disrespectful to the men and women of the USPS! -- Oh wait, maybe its just a dog being a dog...)
In more striking and unsettling news:
Did you know that Blue's Clues replaced the mail with email?
"We just got a letter" is now "we just got an email"
AAAACCCCKKKK!!!
WHAT
IS
THIS
WORLD
COMING
TO??
Is NOTHING SACRED!
What about the voice actor who played Mailbox?
