“I don’t watch reality television,” Caton said.
Whoa, what?
“Does that mean you’ve never watched an episode of TLC’s All-American Muslim, the show you’re boycotting?” we asked, hoping Caton would explain himself.
“C’mon, that’s ridiculous,” he said. “I don’t have time for your interrogation.” Click.
Sounds like someone’s full of shit, eh?
