FALL TV DEAD POOL: Furious 'Sons of Anarchy' Creator Tells DirecTV Viewers 'You're Getting Fucked Over'; Reveals Banned Script

Sutter, whose Sons of Anarchy airs on FX and is in jeopardy of being pulled next week should an agreement not be made, revealed on Monday that he filmed a promo that he says "will air before Tuesday night's episode" of his show. The point, he says, "is to mobilize fans against DirecTV." But Sutter said that he "had to follow an FX legal script that felt like complete bullshit. I'm sure it will serve it's purpose, but I feel compelled to let SOA fans know what I WANTED to say."


Part of the script that Sutter claims he wasn't allowed to use, states, "Starting Nov. 1, DirecTV is pulling FX from your box. That means you'll miss the last five episodes of Sons this season. Perhaps five of the most critical episodes of the series. I know Fox has a horse in this race, but they're trying to negotiate in good faith. DirecTV is shutting down all conversation and using their customers as leverage."


Sutter continues:

"In the process, you're getting fucked over. They're running ads with their corporate shill telling you how much 'they care about your business'; that dude's got one sincere hand on his heart while the other greases your unsuspecting backside. Because they're about to flip you over and fuck you up the ass till you bleed. ... Let 'em know they can't fuck with your Sons of Anarchy."


Fox's carriage agreement with DirecTV expired Sept. 30. Fox Networks includes FX, National Geographic Channel, 19 regional sports channels, Fox Movie Channel, Speed, Fuel TV, Fox Soccer and Fox Deportes. Fox broadcast stations and Fox News Channel are not involved in the negotiations.

Fox and its parent company, News Corp., were involved in a dispute with Cablevision last year and Fox channels were blacked out on Dish Network in October 2010 amid a dispute, during which Sutter called Dish "whores" on Twitter.

Kurt Sutter, whose FX drama is in danger of being pulled due to a Fox-DirecTV dispute, also praises network chief John Landgraf: "If it weren't for that guy, I'd be selling star maps and handjobs in front of the Motherlode."
