Michael Vick was totally forgiven? He spent 7 months in jail, faced several financial claims and filed for bankruptcy. Now he's a fucking nobody.
Mike Tyson was totally forgiven? He spent 3 years in jail for that. Oh, and you're gonna love this, the girl who accused him of rape had a history of at least one false accusation of rape. He wasn't terribly well-respected a person to begin with, but what has he done recently besides a terrible one-man show and terrible cameos in movies? Millionaire stardom my ass.
Paula Deen is a racist cunt and - Surprise! - TV networks don't want to be associated with people like that. She didn't use the word "American Inventor" once a long time ago, by the way, she has a history of racist comments and attitudes. The "American Inventor" comment is what brought that to light. Oh, and she can still live comfortably off her millions for the rest of her life.
