It’s been a few months since Paula Deen last did something offensive and stupid (that we know about), so now ABC is dipping its toe into the proverbial butter and asking America if it’s once again ready to love Paula Deen and her personal brand of good old-fashioned, home-spun folksiness. According to Variety, the network has tapped her to join season 21 of Dancing With The Stars, presumably after weighing the cost of her saying something stupid against how excited people will be to hear her say something stupid, much like how one would weigh the cost of eating a delicious gravy-filled pie against how sick it’ll make them afterwards. Like many of us, ABC has decided to eat that pie.
