I don't know what is going on here, but KMart said they fired the mindless fool Rosie months ago. Then there are these KMart ads with her in them again. Now they fired her again?
Maybe they fired her, on the premise that she do a couple more ads, and do she did them and now is claiming she quit?
She said before on record that she supports KMart gun sales because they sell gun locks, and "only sell hunting guns". She claimed is "not against people owning guns, she just wants some gun control to keep guns out of childrens' hands and and criminals and also she wants to to outlaw certain guns that are not used for hunting blah blah blah". You know, the usual public drivel about how "we don't want to take away your guns, just pass come common-sense gun control", when they really just want to get rid of all the guns, period, but they don't want to say that in public.
So, either way she is waffling on the issue, now claiming that she does not like KMart selling any guns. Something smells fishy. I think that the money was good, so the greedy sell-out was supporting KMart, and once the tide turned agiainst her, then suddenly she is going to make a "moral stand" and quit. Just doesn't add up.
Rosie Sticks to Her Guns By Unloading Kmart Gig
Rosie O'Donnell is out as Kmart's top pitchwoman.
The daytime talk host is walking away from her starring role with the
company over her stance on guns.
A vociferous gun-control advocate, O'Donnell said yesterday that she
thought her future efforts on the hot-button issue would make it difficult
for her to continue hyping the gun-selling retail giant.
"It's only fair to Kmart that I stop doing commercials," she said.
"Rosie intends to be proactive in her gun control efforts . . ." added Lois
Smith, her spokesperson. "It was important for her to take herself out of
commercials so neither she nor Kmart would be further criticized."
But Kmart insiders told us yesterday that the company gave O'Donnell her
walking papers because it had grown tired of the negative publicity her gun
stance was bringing them.
O'Donnell and Kmart deny the charges and emphasize that they have not
severed ties. Rosie will appear in two final holiday commercials and Kmart
will continue to support her For All Kids Foundation, the company said.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my relationship with Kmart, and I am extremely
pleased with the amount of money we raised together," Rosie added. "I will
continue to be involved with Kmart's philanthropic activities."
