Biggs Deal: Nickelodeon Finally Condemns Its Actor’s Vulgar Tweets About Ann Romney, Janna Ryan

Nickelodeon Apologizes for Jason Biggs Tweets on Ann Romney, Janna Ryan

Jason Biggs, the actor best-known for his role in the “American Pie” movies, tweeted a number of vulgar and sexually explicit messages amid the Republican National Convention last week.

He joked about sexually violating Paul Ryan’s wife, Paul Ryan’s sex life, and the state of Ann Romney’s private areas. To top it off, he insulted Christianity and told those who were offended: “To everyone freaking out about my tweets: you know i put my di** in a pie, right?”

Read all the tweets, here.

But the story doesn’t end there. Biggs is playing the voice of Leo in Nickelodeon’s new “Teenage Ninja Mutant Ninja Turtles” series, and Nickelodeon has been promoting the man’s Twitter account.

Conservative sites like Twitchy launched a ceaseless campaign against the decision, pointing out that children are one click away from reading such profanity.

According to Fox News, users even reached out to Nickelodeon sponsors like General Mills, Kellogs and Kraft Foods and threatened to boycott their products if they did not stop advertising on the network.

Now, Nickelodeon has issued an apology, but Biggs will retain his position in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles remake.

Nickelodeon explained:

“The offensive comments made by Jason Biggs last week on his personal twitter account do not reflect our company’s views or values, and we condemn them. 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.”

Some tweeters are saying the apology was insufficient and the man should have been fired, while others are satisfied.

What an excuse…

“…I’m the one who did the pie….”

Makes you wonder why they get upset when an adult clergyman is caught with a perversion doesn’t it? Maybe it has something to do with the pastries?

BAN ALL PASTRIES!

  Fire him, anybody that would do that to michelle obama would be fired immediately, without question. Look at the faux outrage when Rush called Sandra Fluke a Slut. They were screaming for his head on a platter and tried to destroy him professionally. This is the face of a real WAR ON WOMAN!!!!
  
  FIRE HIM!!!!!!!

  Actually..it was Biggs’ character that was written to put his member in a pie…furthermore..Biggs didn’t actually put his member in the pie..he was pretending to.
  
  Typical, wretched little lefty…all distractions, distortions and justifications for his spite and bile towards anyone that doesnt’ subscribe to his ideology.

  Didn’t the incident he’s referring to happen in a 1999 movie? Talk about living in the past! It’s pretty sad when someone points to something they did 13 years ago — albeit, something that pathetic — as proudly as Bigs does.

Nickelodeon is stupid for not firing the guy but that’s their choice if they want to be associated with the lefts very classy brand of “respect for women”.

  In one way, I’m kind of glad that I heard about this whole mess because it really shows who Jason Biggs is as a person rather than someone acting a part. He may keep his job at Nickelodeon, but he’s already done some major damage to the company and proved that he’s a loose cannon.
  
  Just think at how that’s going to look on his resume.
  
  Major accomplishments:
  
  Had a part in American Pie, and proud of it
  (both figuratively and literally.)
  
  Tweeted sexual smear of two Presidential candidates’ wives
  (Note: company later forced to apologize for my actions.)
  
  Looking to broaden my horizons.
  
  Honestly, would you hire this guy?

Would this be the same punishment dealt had he directed his attacks towards Michele Obama and Jill Biden? Somehow I seriously doubt it; so no, not enough. But the corrective action over their contractors conduct is Nickelodeon’s decision to make. Since I don’t agree I’ll be filtering their channel out, which is my decision to make.

“Nickelodeon does not support or condone the use of graphic or vulgar language on any of our platforms.”

I find it telling that they only specifically apologize for the graphic / vulgar language, not the demeaning nature in which they were given. This isn’t about word choice.

  I sent this note to my email friends:
  If you have children or grandchildren you might be interested in these links. Jason Biggs is on a children’s Nickelodeon channel and tweeted some vulgar, vile comments about Mitt Romney & Paul Ryan’s wives. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat you might find this offensive. Nickelodeon has been notified, and gave Jason a slap on the wrist. Personally I do not find that’s good enough. He should not be working with anything to do with children that would have access to his personal tweets. I will put the link here and you can check it out and decide for yourself. I was going to put the links on f/b but was afraid that our kids or grandkids might click on them out of curiosity.
  Jason Biggs should have no association (via his personal tweets) with a children’s show.
  If you find it inappropriate, Please contact Viacom – the mother company
