We briefly discuss the ridiculous and completely fictional show “Devil’s Ride." Unfortunately, it returned for a second season only to screw up our regular viewing of the Discovery Channel. The Discovery Channel ought to be ashamed to air a show like the Devil’s Ride and for trying to pass it off as a “reality show”. It is so far from reality it’s pitiful.

Kurt Sutter, creator of the truly fictional FX Network Television Show Sons of Anarchy, blasts the creator of the Devil’s Ride on Twitter recently. Sutter sent out a tweet to his followers. In it, he wondered if “The Devil’s Ride” had been canceled or not and questioned the legitimacy of the clubs that take part in the show. That didn't sit well with a member of the Laffing Devils, who are also on Twitter.

"Is 'Devil's Ride' still on? my thespians are harder than these bitches. don't take my word, ask any OMC in the fucking world,” Sutter writes on Twitter. One of the Devils, who goes by Mad Max responded with, "Fuck you you talk a lot of shit from that key board [sic]," completely ignoring that he was in fact typing his message on a keyboard. Sutter offered a simple, "you're just jealous because i can spell.”

Sutter, had more things to say about the show and said, "If your MC has agreed to become a show, you are now reality TV stars. you've traded legacy/pride for cash/fame. And you are in my circus," and, "I may have to buy all the devils chocolate valentine hearts. Their feelings are so hurt. Especially the fat one from 'The Wonder Years.”

The "fat one from “The Wonder Years” is Jason Hervey, who played Wayne Arnold on the long-running series. He also happens to be the creator of "Devils Ride" and has a message of his own for Sutter, also delivered via Twitter. "Man U talk shit. U put ur cast in front of u, but not u?" he tweeted. "EP Vs. EP. Anytime. Get urs, will get mine.”
