Jim Carrey Vs. Fox News, 'A Giant Culture Fart'
Last week, Jim Carrey
earned the ire of Fox News by recording an anti-gun comedy video,
“Cold Dead Hand,” for "Funny or Die." Now, the “Ace Ventura” star is striking back, declaring Fox News “a giant culture fart.”
The six-minute video, in which Carrey mocked the late actor and NRA president Charlton Heston and his famous “cold dead hands” speech, got the comedian some on-air hate from Fox News personality Greg Gutfeld earlier in the week.
"He is probably the most pathetic tool on the face of the earth, and I hope his career is dead and I hope he ends up sleeping in a car,” Gutfed fumed on air, according to Guns.com. “This video made me want to go out and buy a gun. He thinks this is biting satire going after rural America and a dead man... He's a dirty, stinking coward... He's such a pathetic, sad, little freak. He's a gibbering mess. He's a modern bigot."
Apparently, Carrey isn’t taking this lying down. On Friday, he made a few joking remarks at Fox News’ expense on Twitter, and later in the day released a full statement calling the channel “a media colonoscopy bag that has begun to burst at the seams,” among other such expressions.

“Since I released my "Cold Dead Hand" video on Funny or Die this week, I have watched F*x 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 F*x 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 F*x 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.”
