UNIVERSAL CITY — In an Oct. 18 story about the Scream Awards, The Associated Press misspelled the first name of Pee-wee Herman as Pee Wee.
Go away award shows for the rich. This country is failing. So bad it can't even feed itself. And you keep inundating us with your stories about rich people. Who seem to have such troubles in life.How they Work so hard to get this rich person award.
GO AWAY AWARD SHOWS.
#1 - Sun Oct 16, 2011 11:37 AM EDTBroke people don't want to watch "Grapes of Wrath", we want our Busby Berkeley musicals.
"We're in the money!"
Glad someone had balls to show true crassness of award shows.
Guess they forgot what PeeWee got busted for:
Paul Rueubens, a k a "Pee Wee Herman", was arrested July 26 1991 for jerking off at the South Trail Cinema, an XXX theatre. [Editor's note: one wonders whether that should even be a crime at all.] Reubens paid a $50 fine and did various and sundry community services. Children's television will never be the same.
Robert Downy, Jr.:
Released from jail on $5,000 bail. [2 August 2000]
Released from jail to complete his six-month jail sentence at a drug rehabilitation center. Downey caused a stir when he was freed to work on a movie. [31 March 1998]
He got into fight with another inmate at the Los Angeles County Jail, where he was serving time for a probation violation, and was treated for a cut over his nose. [13 February 1998]
Jailed for 180 days for violating probation. [December 1997]
Probation revoked after continued drug use. [17 October 1997]
Remanded to a secure drug rehabilitation center. [August 1996]
During traffic stop for speeding, he was arrested for drunk driving, possession of heroin, and possession of an unloaded pistol in his pickup truck. This was his first reported brush with the law at age 31. He was given a suspended prison sentence of 3 years, and granted probation with requirements of random drug testing and drug counselling. [August 1996
So, I guess the more you're arrested, the bigger the prize.
#2 - Sun Oct 16, 2011 12:52 PM EDTThese are wonderful entertainers. Their personal life does not affect me any more than Clinton's BJ. How about James Brown's truck getting shotout with the Texas Rangers? James' indisgression will never de-throne him. He is the greatest!!!
We are a cowboy nation my friend. Lighten up and celebrate it!

I could see the uproar if he had been doing it in a Christian Science Reading Room. He was a grown man in a grown up environment. The only way kids would have known about it is if their parents had told them and how sick would that have been.
Everyone says lighten up. You will think lighten up when you can't eat. It's not that bad now. You might even think a double dip recession isn't so bad. Let me tell you. . . . A real depression is coming. People will starve. The ones who have been homeless will go first. Dog food sales will rise.
Everyone thinks the worst is behind us. Well you haven't seen anything yet. Your lives are about to be turned upside down. You will all look back and say..."boy I sure miss those days when I had an I pad. I sure miss those days of watching people over eat for a contest to win a free radio. Boy the day I got my last job was great.
Then where will the rich people be? You just do a bit of research on what the rich, that got awards, did during the Great Depression. Young people today don't have a clue whats in store for them. They run around being rude to everyone. Just wait till they are hungry. Their stomachs start to expand. Soon they will find food. Either no one will give it to them....because they were so mean and nasty. Or their body won't digest it from starvation.
Get your fill of your favorite things now while you can. Watch all of your "must see t.v.!" Soon it's going to be gone. Then ask your rich award winners for help because your starving. It's just going to double dip lower and lower. Till there is no more dip. It will just be depression.
