Viacom Casualty Count: Comedy Central VP of Design Kendrick Reid Fired

kendrickreid.jpg

Goodbye Kendrick Reid. We hear as part of Viacom's job cuts, Comedy Central's chief graphic designer is among the casualties. He was the man in charge of branding efforts for all of CC. He joined the company in 2000 to help spearhead the network's reshaping. And, naturally, he's repaid with a firing squad.* Cheers.

* Update: We hear Ken was let go in person by boss-slash-friend Peter Risafi, according to a well-placed source.

Update 2: Comedy Central's PR department checks in with this statement: "Please note that your item today on Kendrick Reid is inaccurate. Kendrick’s leaving the company has nothing to do with the recent layoffs at MTVN. Months ago he started a transition to work with Comedy Central as a consultant in order to have the flexibility to work on the launch of Comedy Central International channels and on other outside projects." Spin makes you dizzy, doesn't it?

    It's not surprising that a network that's gung ho behind racist ho Sarah Silverman would fire a talented black employee– be real. An anti-Semite used to be someone who hated Jews, but it's become someone whom Jews hate. And Jews HATE black people.

    Tell that to my father, No. 3. Becuase my mother is black, and my father is Jewish. You're ignorant.

    If every Jewish person hated every black person, then David Hauslaib would have never hired the Editor of this site:
