Cowabunga:


At the end of last month the Republican National Convention took place. Mitt Romney, the presidential nominee of the party was paraded around along with his wife Ann, and his vice presidential choice, Paul Ryan and his wife, Janna. During the event Jason Biggs went on a vulgar tirade tweeting inappropriate comments toward Christians, Paul Ryan, Ann Romney, Clint Eastwood, and Janna Ryan. I deemed the tweets too offensive to be posted here, but you can view them at The Blaze.

Biggs' tweets seem more like something Stifler, of his popular American Pie franchise, would've wrote, and less like an actor that was just hired to voice a character on a children's show. What makes things even worse, several days later the account used to promote Nickelodeon's Turtles series encouraged followers to check out Biggs' twitter page. The offensive tweets have been deleted and Nickelodeon has issued a statement:
    “Nickelodeon does not support or condone the use of graphic or vulgar language on any of our platforms. It was our mistake to link from our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles twitter feed to Jason’s personal twitter account, and we quickly corrected our error. We also insisted Jason use better judgment and discretion in public communications while affiliated with our brand.”


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The series will debut on Nickelodeon, Saturday, September 29 at 11:00 a.m. with two episodes shown back-to-back. The voice cast includes: Jason Biggs (Leonardo), Sean Astin (Raphael), Greg Cipes (Michelangelo), Rob Paulsen (Donatello), Kevin Michael Richardson (Shredder), Hoon Lee (Splinter), and Mae Whitman (April O'Neil).

-__- He was in American Pie...WHAT MORE COULD THEY HAVE EXPECTED!!! Does this mean he can't do another American Pie movie while he is doing TMNT?
MrRogers - 9/14/2012, 2:33 PM
Yeah my 3 year old was on her twitter account and she said it deeply upset her, she even wrote about it in her blog
SmellofDuty - 9/14/2012, 2:33 PM
I read the tweets... Wow. Lost all respect for this dude. The Christianity one was too far.
RedHood13 - 9/14/2012, 2:34 PM
...ok...
Ranger14 - 9/14/2012, 2:39 PM
Not sure how I feel about this series. Not digging the square forearms too much and the overall look of some of characters. Shredder does look badass. Can't say the same for the spider creature.
SmellofDuty - 9/14/2012, 2:39 PM
LEVITICUZ He joking...
Optimus83 - 9/14/2012, 2:40 PM
¡¡¡Good TMNT News!!!
RorMachine - 9/14/2012, 2:42 PM
His tweets were crude and childish no doubt, but I admit I giggled..especially the last one. Thicken up that skin boys and girls, he's a comedian, they tell jokes.
RorMachine - 9/14/2012, 2:42 PM
Oh and that clip actually wasn't too bad.
MrRogers - 9/14/2012, 2:45 PM
@Leviticuz yeah it was just a joke, I said my daughter say it on twitter because Mr Biggs tweets were linked to nickelodeon thats why everyone is in uproar over it. But the whole joke was theres no kids on twitter to see his tweets people need to relax I mean if nickelodeon wanted a role model they should have picked someone who didnt make a career out of having sex with a pie
MrRogers - 9/14/2012, 2:45 PM
Saw*
RorMachine - 9/14/2012, 2:48 PM
^^ are you actually comparing someone joking about the slaughterer of children in a theater to someone making lewd jokes about some asshat politician's wife or her religion? Get a grip
Ranger14 - 9/14/2012, 2:50 PM
MrRogers@ It depends on what you consider kids. You may be surprised as to how many younger kids follow Nickelodeon online and Twitter is all part of that. Kids are more internet savvy than I think you may be giving them credit for. Maybe not 3 year olds, but definitely ones that are of school age.
MrRogers - 9/14/2012, 2:50 PM
Lol its cool I mean you never know with how fast technology is coming out these days young kids on twitter probably isn't to far out of the question in the near future, I probably should have ended my joke with a jk or something
DeadHubris - 9/14/2012, 2:53 PM
Oh My!
nailbiter111 - 9/14/2012, 2:53 PM
I don't have an issue with Bigg's making offensive comments. My issue is that he signed up for a kid's show, like it or not, but that means you should censor your comments a bit. He could've said those same comments, for the most part, and cleaned up the language a bit. He sounds less like a comedian and more like a freshman in college who just got drunk for the first time.
ellispart3 - 9/14/2012, 2:54 PM
the cartoon actually looks kind of good..hope they can do tmnt justice for a new generation.

and as far as biggs goes..who cares? he's a comedian. he'll either make you laugh, cringe, or stare back awkwardly due to how unfunny the joke is. no point in getting upset over what a grown man, who is a comedian, says on twitter.
MrRogers - 9/14/2012, 2:55 PM
Ranger, I agree when I actually stopped to think about it a little more its a possibility. But wouldn't you think nickelodeon would have taken some kind of precaution to avoid something like this? I dont even know how to work twitter but has Biggs made jokes loke these in the past?
Ranger14 - 9/14/2012, 2:55 PM
I guess I will say that I do understand Nickelodean's concern, considering their demographic.
AlibiBreakfast - 9/14/2012, 2:56 PM
The Blaze is Glenn Beck's right-wing trash website.
nailbiter111 - 9/14/2012, 2:57 PM
I didn't include it in the article, but Biggs came under fire in the past when his wife "joked" that Biggs had sex with underage girls. Hilarious?
UltimaRex - 9/14/2012, 3:02 PM
Let this be a lesson to all corporations out there.

Ask before you link.

I thought you guys had freedom of speech?
hope420 - 9/14/2012, 3:08 PM
Never was a fan of the guy! He always seemed douchy!
l0rdleg0las - 9/14/2012, 3:08 PM
Who cares about a hasbeen actor? Where is Raphael's accent?
HelaGood - 9/14/2012, 3:13 PM
loving the look of the show! cant wait!
kevberg - 9/14/2012, 3:22 PM

hey Ror,
I wonder how funny it would be I asked if his mom bleached her a$$h%l# or if it was hairy?

freedom of speech comes with resposibility, he can say what he likes..but don't ask me to not get get pissed of be offended.
RorMachine - 9/14/2012, 3:24 PM
It'd be pretty funny to me..why not tweet him.
wyatt1234 - 9/14/2012, 3:29 PM
The more i see of this show, the better its looking actually. And what more can you expect from a guy that was some of the most raunchy comedies ever.
jessepostal - 9/14/2012, 3:32 PM
What did he say?? im out of the loop. The kid made his money on dick jokes, what do u expect. It cant be that bad. Than again some of us hear this stuff every day
jessepostal - 9/14/2012, 3:39 PM
Some of you are so sensitive, and the Michael Richards thing happend five or six years ago, and he retired after that, im not racist but if one little word is gonna make you think that little about someone you need to get out in the world. Ive heard many big name people use words that would make you cry.
jessepostal - 9/14/2012, 3:49 PM
But he "crossed the line" because the guy kept tormenting him for some time and harassing him. He hit his point and snapped, yet he's the ahole??? There's two sides to every story
nailbiter111 - 9/14/2012, 3:51 PM
I don't think he just used the N word. I think he also mentioned lynching. I like him as an actor, but as a human being he mucked up. We all do, and he did apologize, but I do look at him differently now.
PeterParker1991 - 9/14/2012, 4:03 PM
I'm in. Bring on October 29
rottencotten - 9/14/2012, 4:10 PM
I wouldn't have expected any less from Biggs...I said from the beginning that he was a horrible choice for Leo...the Pie-[frick]er is far-from a born leader...But in all reality, who the [frick] cares!!..us middle-class poor nerds hate the republicans, just as much as they hate us...It was his Twitter account, it was his opinion...if you don't like it, don't read it, delete him from your twitter...also, as an uncle, I would never let my niece have Jason Biggs on her Twitter...that's just asking for trouble...leave the man alone...his career is already in the can, let the man have a few laughs...I did...
RidiculousFanBoyDemands - 9/14/2012, 4:13 PM
Ehh, I have seen worse. I love how conservatives jump down Biggs throat but have no problem with Ted Nugent, Dave Mustain or guys that have said much worse. Hell Ted Nugent made a passive aggressive death threat towards Obama.

As for the video, not bad. Could the creators be a little more excited though when talking about the show?
IIIAdamantiumIII - 9/14/2012, 4:27 PM
LOL some funny stuff
RorMachine - 9/14/2012, 4:34 PM
The fact that he's associated with a kid's tv show does mean he should have toned it down a bit I agree.
Sortis - 9/14/2012, 4:38 PM
Yep all respect gone for this guy, I won't respect someone else who doesn't respect other people or their freedoms. Grotesque individual.
AutobotCommander84 - 9/14/2012, 5:16 PM
So, he shouldn't be allowed to voice his opinion? Dear Nickelodeon, Biggs is a grown man whose wife posted a picture on Twitter of him sucking on her boob. GTFO of his life.
Greengo - 9/14/2012, 5:35 PM
Ror is telling people to thickin up their skin?

No that's [frick]ing funny I didn't know Ror. was a comedian.

Hypocritical too since his skin is so thin lol
Jobu - 9/14/2012, 6:17 PM
Seems like a lot of sandy vaginas in this thread
WesleyGibson - 9/14/2012, 6:21 PM
Nasty [frick]er.
ThePowerCosmic - 9/14/2012, 7:44 PM
I think they have finally screwed up this franchise for good. There is no longer any trace of the old Mirage Comic characters here.
Ceejay - 9/14/2012, 8:26 PM
I still can't believe people give a shit about this crap being done properly as a live action movie let alone what Jason Biggs tweets!
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 9/14/2012, 9:41 PM
Horrrrrible voice casting. Other than that it wasn't too bad for a nick show. But when tmnt goes dark like the original comics, let me know.
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 9/14/2012, 9:48 PM
Also I reallllly hope CGI doesn't take over normal cartoon animation. The day that that happens, I am done with animated shows.
thedarkknight666 - 9/14/2012, 10:04 PM
i just read his tweets that was some funny shit
KingLing - 9/14/2012, 10:44 PM
Looks like the show has a lot of personality. Definitely worth a shot.
drewXdeficit - 9/14/2012, 11:32 PM
Jokes are jokes, and I truly believe that nothing is off limits when it comes to a comedic context. His quip about Christianity wasn't even offensive by any means. He could've done much better.
Scabsallover - 9/15/2012, 12:11 AM
@jobu has a point. You yeasty motha[frick]as
