Can’t wait ‘till next year when Hollywood actors will be pooing and having gay gang sex on TV with midgets!
The New York Daily News is reporting on what I imagine was a nice press clip they received.
Two-thirds of the way through Sunday’s 9 p.m. launch of “The Surreal Life” on VH1, Verne Troyer, the pint-size actor who plays Mini Me in the “Austin Powers” movies, urinates in the corner of a room.
In a scene that will surely get critics arguing – again – that reality television marks the end of civilization, an inebriated Troyer rides a scooter, nude, into a room at the “Surreal Life” house and oblivious to his surroundings, relives his bladder.
“We’re still sort of playing with how that looks on television,” VH1 executive Jeff Olde said. “That may come out.”
A very telling couple of sentences in the story: “He declined to say why it might be pulled or whether it definitely will. However, it was in a preview tape sent to critics.”
That indicates to me that they were hoping to keep the segment in and wanted to see if there was a backlash or not. That’s what liberals call “progressive”.
Wait! There’s more!
Early in the show he rubs the breast of one of his housemates – model Adrianne Curry – and passes out drunk while sitting next to former “Brady Bunch” cast member Christopher Knight. To be fair to Troyer, Curry was nude but for a few carefully placed leaves, lying on a table where she served as a platter for sushi.
For the uninitiated, “The Surreal Life” is a reality show that puts a group of celebrities – usually those often in need of attention or a comeback – in a home in California for two weeks where they live, eat and play. Past participants have been Vanilla Ice, porn actor Ron Jeremy, Emanuel (“Webster”) Lewis and “Baywatch” babe Traci Bingham.
“Once one is a Brady you’re expected to be angelic,” Knight, who played Peter Brady, said. “This was an opportunity to recalibrate an audience.”
“Recalibrate an audience”.
Let me say it again: “Recalibrate an audience”.
See, not pooing and peeing on television, getting drunk and passing out and fondling the breast of a woman who is nude and laying on a table acting as a sushi platter, is “angelic” now. And they must recalibrate the audience. Push that envelope ever harder! Be Progressive! Vote liberal!
