the details (via Variety Magazine):

Kyle Gass, true heart of the poster, put the tenacious in tenacious d, Jack Black, true pants of the pisser, put the money in his mouth and his whole ass in front of the camera

    imagine ending a lucrative partnership/long term friendship over someone disliking the same guy as you, but a little more

    honestly really repellent behavior

      It also makes all their other “edgy” humor just seem conpletely cringe.

      They make fun of pearl clutches getting mad at rock music because it’s the devil so made rock songs about the devil and rocks but if somebody says something mean about a fascist that’s a bridge to far.

      Jack Black would rather still be in kung-fu panda 27, instead of being tethered to a guy who pulled a kathy lee griffin by going in too hard on trump for civility-minded people.

        what kathy griffin did was significantly cooler and more hardcore! that’s part of what makes it so gutless; this is basically a nothing statement that literally billions of people would casually agree with and it’s being treated as if gass came out and said “i am a full-fledged neo-nazi, i have killed before and i will kill again, a very special thank you to my boy jack for making it all possible!” it’s so far beyond ridiculous.

      Jack Black definitely agrees, he’s just a hyper careerist with a very manicured public persona. These people believe in their careers above all, and that’s what this is about. All PR.

        the disgusting shit most of them routinely did makes this look like a downright heroic way to spend your time in comparison
