Apparently, he's priming up for a cruise to the Caribbean. Immediately upon hearing this news, I decided to look and see how Kirk reacted to his TV dad dying, and if he used it as an opportunity to preach about the wages of sin or something. So far, no news whatsoever on the Kirk Cameron front. Nothing on Facebook or Twitter, except for quite a few people asking "why did they take Alan Thicke but leave Kirk Cameron?", and not even his ambulance-chasing butt-boy Ray Comfort hasn't mentioned it, but I'm fairly certain something will happen in a few hours.

I said the same thing on Facebook... "Why couldn't it have been Kirk Cameron instead?"  At least that would give me a little reason to believe in a kind, just, and loving god. 

I also wondered if Kirk would use Thicke's death as a platform to preach.  We shall see.

It looks like his Instagram message regarding Thicke's death keeps it classy. I won't bother to post a link here because I found something more amusing: Alan Thicke's reaction to Cameron's anti-gay nonsense:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/al...ins-296868

From the article:

Thicke, who played Kirk Cameron's father on the family friendly sitcom Growing Pains, tweeted in response to Cameron calling homosexuality "unnatural" and "destructive" on Piers Morgan Tonight, writing "I'm getting him some new books. The Old Testament simply can't be expected to explain everything." That tweet followed a softer comment on Sunday night, in which Thicke tweeted, "I'll address kirk's comments as soon as I recover from Rush Limbaugh's."

Later in the day, Thicke added another joke, tweeting, "I love Kirk but I may have to spank him...'tho not in a gay way!"

Well played, Mr. Thicke.   R.I.P.

Thicke may have been a decent guy himself, but he raised a douchebag of a son

Perhaps, but I'm so out of the loop the first time I even became aware of his son was in the wake of the infamous twerking incident. Seriously. And he disappeared from my radar screen very shortly thereafter.

Contemporary pop culture indifference: one of the few benefits of becoming an older fart.  

I'd never heard of him before that either. Pop music is a wasteland of garbage that I don't bother paying attention to.

Fortunately, it seems that for once, Kirk has developed the self-restraint to NOT use this as an excuse to preach. And it seems Bananaman hasn't even bothered to respond, thank Jah.
