Oh yeah, let's totally ignore the "plans for plantation-style wedding with slaves", "sambo burger", "discriminatory hiring and payment practices", "discriminatory promotion practices", "non-compensation of overtime, with extra discrimination", "sexual harassment of women at the workplace by Bubba", "belittling, name-calling with racial pejoratives and harassing workers who are people of color"... and oh hey, all this in 2007ish and onward, which is totes like 50 years ago! :D
Oh and Food Network had already observed that even before this latest revelation, Deen's show's viewer ratings had been going down, which is a good reason for the network to do axe the show (hey, if "low ratings" can kill Firefly, then surely it applies here too).
Also, I believe it is called as "free market", when a private company picks and chooses who will represent their brand for maximum gain.
