Wasn’t planning on buying it myself but when I went out to buy Escape From Hell. (I’m in my 2nd reading of it awesome book review will follow later this week.) I noticed something interesting.
At B.J’s wholesale they had about a dozen copies of Levin’s book I was really surprised to seem them there. I then went to Barnes & Noble. They not only didn’t have the book (tons of Michael Fox’s all over) but the people at checkout seemed to not have heard of it.
…at least that must be what Richard Cohen would conclude.
Was watching the old Match Game on the game show network this morning after sleeping late. It’s one of those old shows that are still funny as the years go by.
Well a younger Betty White was on and a question was “Sgt Preston was so alone for so long he married his blank.” when she said Husky she shouted to the booing audience: “Who else would he marry?”
Obviously the entire Match Game cast and crew and audience under the Cohen rule must have been a bunch of racist bigot, homophobes etc etc etc since the concept that he might have married another Mountie never occurred to them.
When you watch old television you can’t help but notice this kind of stuff, it’s amazing what film can do.
(Actually it’s amazing what was considered racy on those old shows too…)
