Read these while I write the recap for last nights Friday Night Lights…
Jesse Jackson wants America to boycott Seinfeld DVD’s, most notably the pending 7th season as a result of Michael Richards racist tirade. I am not sure what this would accomplish, because I cannot imagine Richards himself is seeing any royalties from those sales, so the only people we would really be crippling are the creators, producers, etc. Essentially everyone except for Richards himself. Maybe Jackson is going for the Full Metal Jacket approach, like when the drill sargent made everyone do push-ups while Private Pile was ordered to eat a donut found in his cubby.
While I don’t know if we’re going to beat Richards with soap bars wrapped in towels, everyone feels like something needs to be done. If his aim is to hit Richards in the wallet, this is kind of a tough situation for Reverand Jackson. One, the guy is set for life from his ten year stint on Seinfeld. Two, since the series went off the air, Richards hasn’t had a career that he couldn’t kill himself. So, I don’t know. He is never going to get another stand-up gig and he hasn’t produced a film or television series in years. This might be one of those situations that resolves itself and no course of action needs to be taken, because the American public, generally speaking, is decent.
Everyone’s favorite boy band member turned R&B star is hosting SNL on December 16th. Obviously, he is doubling as a musical guest.
Here is a clip of Sacha Baron Cohen circa 1995 as the host of a cable television show in the UK… I guess we can chalk this up to growing pains.
Sex and The City is responsible for millions of female college graduates pining to relocate in metropolitian areas. Now it is responsible for Lindsay Lohan’s promiscuous lifestyle as well.
