And the parade of irrelevant former television stars continues...
Jimmie 'JJ' Walker, of the 1970's CBS sitcom Good Times, has spoken out against same-sex marriage.
You remember JJ, right? He played "JJ Evans" and coined the catchphrase, "Dyn-o-mite!"
Oh. You don't remember JJ? Us either. Still you can see what he has to say after the jump.
In an interview with CNN, Walker, explains that when it comes to marriage 'there's just certain traditions that need to be upheld.'
'No, it doesn't affect me, no, it doesn't change my life,' he acknowledges. 'There's just traditions that need to be dealt with. I'm a believer that gay marriage should be passed because the battle is not worth the war. The gay lobby is very loud. I'm totally against it.'
He continues: 'In 100 years from now, people are going to go, 'Who was against gay marriage?' And I'll be one of those idiots and say, 'That's me.' I'm just against it on moral grounds, that's it. I'm as much a heathen as anybody. I just don't believe on moral grounds it should be done. I don't like it, I don't accept it.'
Interesting. He seems totally aware that he's going to be completely left behind on this issue; he even acknowledges that it has no impact on him and that it's better to give up the fight against it rather than waste time battling the inevitable.
We guess we've heard worse??
Walker is currently promoting his new memoir called Dyn-o-mite. We're sure it'll be a smash...
