Wow, really? He has a show now called "Atlanta Studios Catch on Fire"? Just when I thought "Meet the Browns" was the least subtle title he could think of.

Pardon my ignorance, but can someone explain the joke to me? Going by the last page it was good and I like good jokes!

Some people think Tyler Perry is gay and it's very obvious (flaming). However he is in the closet about it.

Now 97% of black actors are out of a job.

Only time I've ever seen Tyler Perry in a movie, not in drag.

But...I have a lead on a suspect.

He has a prior record.

Tyler Perry's Studio on Fire.

I'd see that.

Thank you Prometheus.

Everyone already took the good jokes so I'm left with really bad ones that just exploit the situation and people involved.

Noone said anything about Tyler rubbing two sticks together yet ;)

FoneBone · (05-02-2012, 03:19 PM)

Still only the second most flaming thing about Tyler Perry

LegendofJoe · (05-02-2012, 03:25 PM)

My gf made me watch a Tyler Perry movie with her once, never again. I blame her love of Atlanta for it.

I don't know who he is either. In-fact, I don't think he's known at all in the UK. No mention of him by anyone anywhere ever.

Tyler Perry's Burning Down The Studio

Wacky hijinks ensue as first-time director Trevor Burning is forced to use his dysfunctionally hilarious extended family as cast members in his movie to stay under budget, including his sass-talking uncle, his lazy sass-talking degenerate brother, and his sassy sass-talking grandmother. Until tragedy strikes and his cancer-battling pregnant wife is killed in a drunk driving accident along with her lover.

What scares me is that you highlighted every one of his beaten to death stereotypes so well.....

Best way to sum it up as I said earlier.

The man is the black Roger Corman, he can shoot a movie that makes 27 million in someone's backyard. I mean this as a complainant, the man has a skill fo low budget exploitation movies. Just not the type I like.

It's a Gay joke. Weird given the context, as if him being Gay had anything to do with his Studio burning down.

Maybe it's because of the closet joke but I totally read that as rubbing two dicks together the first time.

Yeah, as if that's the biggest issue with Tyler Perry.

I think most have an issue with the characters and stories, not gay people.

We may never know what caused the massive fire at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta on Tuesday. After putting out the blaze and examining the damage, Atlanta's fire chief said on Wednesday (May 2) afternoon that the damage was so intense that officials don't think they will be able to find the source of the blaze.

"The cause of the fire will be recorded as undetermined," Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin J. Cochran said in a statement, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "The intensity of the fire in the area of origin consumed any evidence that would lead to a cause of ignition."

The fire damaged the exterior of one building in the center of the 30-acre, 200,000 square-foot complex, but thanks to the construction materials, it did not reach into the interior, which did, however, suffer some water damage from firefighting efforts. More than 100 firefighters responded to the blaze, which quickly grew to four alarms. The decision to escalate the call to the highest level is credited with helping to stem the spread of the flames to other buildings in the studio lot owned by Perry. No injuries were reported in the response to the emergency.

At the time of the fire, Perry was at his nearby Continental Colony Parkway complex and did not speak to reporters, instructing his employees to avoid the media as well. But late Wednesday morning a spokeswoman for the studios issued a statement from Perry praising the work of the firefighters.

"Atlanta firefighters responded immediately to a fire which damaged the backlot façade of one of the buildings at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta," it read. "We are grateful that there were no injuries, and that 99 percent of the damage is limited to the backlot facade. Mr. Perry wishes to express his heartfelt thanks to the Atlanta fire department for their professionalism in their quick response and limiting the damage."

Perry has not made a public appearance since the fire, but some of his bold-name pals have reached out to offer support. Oprah Winfrey tweeted a message on Wednesday, writing, "I think my friend and younger big brother Tyler Perry ... His back lot studio was damaged by fire last night. His attitude in the midst of it all was calm and feeling blessed no one was injured. Real grace under fire.

Several actresses who've appeared in Perry's films also reached out, including Kerry Washington ("For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf"), who said, "Sending prayers out to everybody at Tyler Perry Studios! Such a special place! XO -- I'm grateful no one was hurt!"

Gabrielle Union ("Good Deeds"), tweeted, "The fire at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta is hurting my heart for all the hardworking people who create magic there and feed their families."
