Suddenly, I see you in a whole different light.

And I am shocked that you look a whole lot better now.

{Ducking head in shame.} I think I might even find you attractive...

Lap Dancing has been outlawed in LA.

"Los Angeles City Council passed a measure requiring dancers to stay at least 6 feet away from customers, thus ending lap dancing in the city.

The ordinance, passed unanimously despite stiff opposition from strippers and adult club owners who fear for their livelihood, banned lap dancing and any other kind of bodily contact between dancers and customers in strip clubs, bikini bars and adult bookstores."

Also, they are stationing state-licensed security guards to be on duty at all times.

Two thoughts:

1. Like everything else, it certainly won't affect the high dollar patrons who already have their underground private clubs.

2. Those security guards will be making a fortune from their under the table payments.

But what does the indomitable, virtually unwatched fourth-place network do? Faced with really shitty choices, they find a third way. They announce they will turn "8 Simple Rules" into a tragedy, in which the sitcom family works its way onscreen through the unexpected death of their beloved dad. No word yet on whether they will use footage of Ritter actually collapsing on the set to add that special kind of realism.

This may very well turn out to be the Worst Decision Ever Made. Right up there with my having unprotected sex with that African monkey in 1979, or Tikhonov's decision to bench Tretiak.

Actually, this is a pretty obvious move. Soon after the news of Ritter's death broke I wondered aloud to the baltspouse whether ABC would pull an "Eight is Enough." As those of you who saw the E! True Hollywood Story will recall, the original mother in that dramedy died about two months into taping and they turned it into a more or less straight drama for a while, slowly moving it back to the dramedy median. The death and on-screen plot-line was ratings gold.

I'm not saying it's tasteful; it's just not unprecedented

Damn, that's a complete buzzkill. Glad to see the politicians are interested in important issues like this and not bothering with trivial issues like job creation, crime prevention and the budget crisis.

Not to mention patrons.

My vote for biggest loss to a show in terms of an actor's death was the death of the much beloved Nicholas Colesanto who played Coach on Cheers.

Second! I was thinking about his death in light of the current ABC dilemma. Obviously it was a little easier to deal with his death and move on for Cheers because he wasn't the "star" of the show. Just the funniest part of it... Woody turned out okay, but no one can replace Coach.

2) stuff about periods
3) stuff about allergies

I would also like to make a new rule. Jokes incorporating infamous Clinton jokes are very 1998. It is 2003. Get some new material. And dont get it from Chandler Bing

but thanks for playing.

Our country is soooo fucking backward. This "ban" will do nothing but encourage more clubs to have more better hidden back rooms where patrons who paid for blow jobs and hand jobs in the past will continue to do so in greater privacy. All this silly new rule does is make things less interesting for the drunk guys at bachelor parties who want to have a laugh watching their friends be grinded by a naked chick. Way to prohibit a silly harmless tradition, LA.

Policing morality always renders comical results.

The two female Big Brother 4 finalists were observed "making racial remarks and verbally attacking another player's young daughter on the live 24/7 Internet feeds," Jam! Showbiz's John Powell reports. Talking about a present that Robert, the third finalist, made for his daughter, Jun said, "I'm sorry that bitch can forget about that fucking butterfly. I'll tear that shit apart." Then Jun said that Robert's "father should've stayed in Cuba. His family is like...No speaky English," pledging with Alison "to send Robert 'back on a boat to Cuba.'" Alison has previously called Robert a "Cuban faggot," but as Powell notes, "CBS has not aired any of Jun or Alison's past off-colour remarks." One of the three will be voted out tonight.


Also realityblurred reports that Sorority Life/Fraternity Life are about to start airing (this is the season that was filmed at USC/Santa Cruz and the fraternity involved has been kicked out of the greek system at Santa Cruz for killing and eating the school's big old koi (a fish) and 2 pledges are facing criminal charges.

I guess Cupid ended last night for those who have been following it. Never watched, but the ending sounded kind of interesting. Discuss.

Yes, but what is "is"?

Concur.

Could be a black Baptist church, could be a black Catholic church.

I've been to the former. While I'm sure that the latter exists, I've never encountered one, and never really considered their existence. Where would one find a black Catholic church, anyway?

Paigs,

With all due respect, why do you think anyone gives a flying fuck what you'd prefer not to read about? Also, I've been prone to egomania at times, but in what state of megalomania does one come to the conclusion that the boards would give a shit about who is and who isn't on any one poster's ignore list? It seems to me that by advising the world of who's on one's ignore list, the ignorer defeats the very purpose of the ignore feature, which is to discreetly be able to avoid reading certain people's posts. By inciting discussion of the posts/poster one seeks to avoid, the ignorer perpetuates the offending discussion. This leads to the unavoidable conclusion that the ignorer is not really interested in ignoring anyone, but instead trying to focus the conversation on who or what the ignorer is ignoring. Ironically, that's a very dull topic which should be ignored.

S(so today's discussion will be what? hairy nipples?... just kidding)D

You know what? Breastfeeding has made me allergic to my period!

And could Clinton's penis have been any more in that intern's mouth?

Apparently so. Then none would have ended up on her dress.

THese are the most odious people I have ever seen on a reality show. and they just get worse. i am actually starting to think that Robert may be the most sympathetic character bc he apologized for his unbelievably offensive comments. Rather than ake the high road, Jun and Allison get just as nasty? Allison is clearly from a town that only has black and white people and she couldnt be more provincial. Jun has got to be one of the most self-loathing minorities ever. The twinkie thing, the "me no speaky englihs" and "get on a boat"? copying shit she obviously heard about herself growing up. and her rampant materialism is sickeining. Its like she equates being American with Tiffany's boxes and Manolos. Throwing your money out on this stuff makes you more American? Jun, turn off the sex and the city, go to a shrink and put down the french fries.

god I hate these people. but just like with bennifer, i can say to myself, it will be over soon.

When I read that, I remembered the episode and then realized I'd been suppressing it quite successfully for years.

When I wake up repeatedly from nightmares (on my back, of course) I will be calling you.
