Pottymouth



The question is, will the FCC feel the same way as Serial Mom? (UPDATE: No, duh. It was on CNN.) Crooks and Liars has the video and reaction roundup here.

UPDATE: Garrett at Fishbowl DC points out that while CNN's left hand was apologising for Novak's tantrum, their right hand was posting the video on their web site:

Do you think Novak is into "Chicks with Dicks" like the prosecutor who didn't recycle in "Serial Mom"?

Actually, the movie this most reminds me of is "A Face in the Crowd," the 1957 classic with a young Andy Griffith playing a singer who becomes an early media star and political huckster and then is destroyed on live television. If you haven't seen it, run out and find a rental. It's incredibly timely and quite prescient. Plus, it's a great movie, written by Budd Schulberg and directed by Elia Kazan right after they had done "On The Waterfront."

CNN: Home of the media whore. That would be a great new reality series where the winner goes on to host something like "Lou Dobbs".

I never saw the tantrum but now I'll have to!
