I remember Irene. I think MTV treated the slap differently from the punch (which I haven't seen) because it looks on film to be a less harmful form of assault. She's seen to be laughing in the shot. But it was an assault and she has a valid objection to it being aired, even if her immediate reaction was startled laughter. MTV wasn't in a better position than she was to judge its magnitude. Irene sounds to have been too smart for The Real World by its third season. She might have gotten along in Season One, which had a different feel from the others, but who knows.
On a side note, if any of you are on the pushcart committee, I hope you'll vote fairly and wisely.
I remember this interview with this guy whose entire agenda was to focus on the rings
Art Shouldn't Have to Hurt
I wonder if she would have said that to Werner Herzog or George Balanchine.
Herzog was a good manager, but I wouldn't call it "art".
5: What? Not ART? Haven't you read George Will?
I wonder if she would have said that to Werner Herzog...
If they'd made a season of The Real World where the kids had to share the house with Klaus Kinski, I might have watched it.
I think I watched the first two seasons. I sometimes had wondered what it would be like if someone intelligent were on a reality show. Hilarity might ensue, right?
I managed to avoid seeing even a single episode of the show. I feel this is an accomplishment I should be proud of.
I've never ever seen it. And I knew a dude (from high school) on season 1.
I would watch a reality show where Smearcase, Bob McManus, and Klaus Kinski have to raise a cute toddler together.
I never saw an episode of Law & Order, any of the series. That is my distinction. Also I never read a word of a Harry Potter book except the first paragraph in Czech.
I have never seen Titanic. Or Forrest Gump.
11: Throw in Thorn and I'll produce. (The show, not the baby. Never the baby.)
I have seen Titanic over and over again because I had free cable the year it was on HBO. Also Twister.
Actually, I have never read Hamlet.
Art should hurt! Art is not a mirror—it is a hammer!
Hey text, congratulations (?). The establishment!
and thanks to you to parsi. I couldn't have done it without derailing my legal career while commenting on unfogged.
Has someone linked this yet, the Jonas Brother's non-hysterical confessional? Great and well written.
It wasn't badly written, but kind of boring.
24 to 3.
I'm also a little baffled about what role I could play on the Smearcase Toddler Hour, but I'm game! I don't think Bob would approve of me as sufficiently non-parental substitute care. Smearcase and Kinski could probably pass muster.
An go, text! It used to be my life goal to be nominated for a Pushcart. I was really into them as a teen.

You're playing the A.S.P.C.A. role, so we can sign off on the "no toddlers were permanently harmed very much in the making of this production" boilerplate. You just turn up and sit in one of those folding chairs and check that the opera isn't too loud and the blood of the bourgeoisie is being mopped up before it goes all yucky and unhygenic.
Every Grey Hair on Thorn's Head She Calls 'Kinski'
Toddler Klaus Kinski is a Jonas Brother in Seattle?
I have really got to work
on my attention span.
