Diggzz Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 I came across this, this morning, it's quite a long rea but it seems pretty legit. (Info on why/how the Chappelle Show was cancelled)http://www.chappelletheory.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 how does it seem legit? It's just a bunch of pages of heresay with absolutely no evidence.It's a pretty interesting story that borrows elements from many movies....like that one with Sandra Bullock where here identity is erased. I'd love to see the scene where Oprah is hovering over Dave's bed threatening him in the middle of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peipunk Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 That was a huge read! I'm not one for conspiracy theories....that whole thing seems too insane; Oprah turning to Dave (who's at home watching on TV) in the middle of her show and talking to him?? C'mon.

peipunk Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) It's a pretty interesting story that borrows elements from many movies...maybe the Micheal Douglas movie The Game?? Edited December 20, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 total BSsomeone was laughing pretty hard to themself when they wrote up this crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 oh yeah...the interview with Tom Cruise was definately the most far-fetched. How would Oprah know that Dave would be watching the show that day to be able to time the specific feed directly to his television?I don't even think that could be done.

Diggzz Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Alright, alright, I'll admit that I wasn't all the way through it when I posted it, but you never know it could be true. Santa's still real right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Howard Stern said on the Daily Show that Comedy Central pays absolute SHIT and that's why Chapelle show is no more. Not saying anyone should take Stern's word for it but it seems feesible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) I read the whole thing and I think there are a few things to consider.1st. Even if this story is far=fetched and heresay, someone felt so strongly about it, that they took the time and effort to create a whole site devoted to it. If it was a total fabrication, I doubt that much time would be invested.2. I do agree with booche the whole Oprah sending a private feed to Chapelle's house is quite improbable.3. Even if 1/3 of this is true it's scary as hell.4. The thing about Malcolm X being assainated by way of Louis Farakan is true. I have several balck muslim friends in the US who totally beleive this and hate Farakan.5. This is not the first time I have heard of the "Dark Avengers" or whatever he called them in this article. I have heard my muslim and non-muslim friends in the US speak of this loose knit organization before. They have been know to form with different members to silence whatt hey feel is problematic in the black community. There are those who beleive that Richard Pryor was approached by them as well as Eddie Murphy.Also about the comedy central not paying egnough thing. Whatever! They were paying Chapelle 50 million for two years. I tyhink that's certainly egnough.I'm not saying this is true but it could be possible.Scary.

bouche Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Mentioning eddie murphy freaks me out. Mainly because I always thought that someone directed his career and he was forced to do utter crap around that prostitute fiasco. I always felt that there was someone controlling his career.Richard Pryor was brought up today, and now you gotta wonder if he was GIVEN his disability.my conspiracy reply is now over.

d_rawk Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Bwah??I loved that website, but it seemed clear from the get-go that it was a joke. Subtle comedy, maybe. And not quite Chappelle quality comedy, okay. But quite obviously comedy nonetheless ...I don't think that the author actually intended for anyone to think that (s)he was serious .... ??

The Chameleon Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I went to the site today and at the end it says that the Chapelle Theory is going to be made into a movie.It says it will be released in spring 2006, and is written by Neal Berman (Chapelle show head writer) and wil star Charlie Murphy.It doesn't look like a comedy either. That is certainly a weird twist. I wonder what Dave thinks about all this?Stay tuned......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
