Kimmel has completely lost any respect I had for him. He was a coward, first for not admitting his own fault in booking a guest who's known for this hardcore stance, and then putting him down because he left him hanging.
beep Jimmy Kimmel, I'd much rather listen to Joe Rogan's rants.
Sorrow will come in the end, Jimmy.
The so-called "idiotic" statement from Morrissey:
"27 February 2013
I was disappointed with last night's Jimmy Kimmel Show wherein our smiling host managed to ridicule depression (70% of Americans have experienced depression according to the National Institute of Mental Health). He then found time to ridicule healthy eating (the obesity epidemic in the U.S. costs $147 billion per year in medical expenditure), and he also ridiculed the notion that animals should be entitled to the possession of their own lives. Furthermore, he found time to jokingly promote gun-ownership - hugely amusing for the parents at Sandy Hook, no doubt. He also promoted his special guests Duck Dynasty - who kill beings for fun.
None of the above issues are, of course, as important as Jimmy Kimmel himself, who has finally revealed his show to have an overwhelming loss of meaning. Tune in and relive the intellectual fog of the 1950s." -

This song was released in 1985:
This "light" (really) video pretty much explains Morrissey's attitude. He utterly despises animal cruelty, and I can't say I disagree with him.
It's not his effing job to make sure all his guests line up and have matching views on everything!
Well, somebody's gotta do it. If you invite Gary Busey, Joaquin Phoenix or Charlie Sheen to come on your show, you'd better know what you're doing.
Kimmel probably felt slighted, but it's his or his team's fault really.
To ridicule Morrissey's stance for petty revenge is just a douchebag move.
Morrissey has said countless other things that are idiotic, this was not one of them. He didn't want to be on the same show as the duck hunters, "serial killers" or whatever those rednecks were. He refuses to associate himself with this kind of stuff, and he has every right to do so.
If you like him, you probably know that this is not the first time Morrissey has walked away from a performance because of animal rights or meat-related issues.
You can say Kimmel's a comedian, so he was doing his job by mocking the singer.
I say he's a lame, unfunny coward.
