Well, that didn't take long:

A&E announced Friday that it will "resume filming" the hit reality television show "Duck Dynasty" with star Phil Robertson following his indefinite suspension from the network last week for comments he made in an interview with GQ Magazine about gays, non-Christians, and African Americans. The network also promised it would work with Robertson to promote "unity, tolerance and acceptance among all people." A&E announced the decision to end Robertson's suspension with a statement provided to the Hollywood Reporter.
The suspension comes to nothing. Apparently, most of the new season was in the can and the "cast" was on hiatus until the end of January. Duck hunting season, you know.
I would personally like to thank A&E for their unending support of racism and homophobia.
Rednecks, amirite?
Bonus points for strong stomachs:

The comments section is especially delightful if you like gay-bashing, racism and mentions of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, the go-to boogeymen of the teabags.
