Truth: Keeping The Peace on Mr. Dick
Today's guest post is from someone who I think is very entertaining. She's been a friend of mine on the social networking scene for a few years. I always enjoy her posts, and read them often. Coming from the rural heartland portion of Southern Ohio along the West Virginia border; she as a unique perspective on Americana. Please enjoy Theresa Peace's post.
Welcome to West Virginia, Mr. Dick!
I’m not one to follow the drama and trauma of celebrities, not even that of my beloved Edward Norton. But when it happens right across the river from my home, I do take notice. When I heard that comedian Andy Dick was arrested after groping two men in a bar in Huntington, West Virginia, my first reaction was that I was glad I didn’t buy tickets to see him. My next thought was, what an idiot.
Somewhere in this world there may be a place where a man can walk into a random bar and grab the testicles of another man without causing a commotion, but I can promise you Huntington is not that place. Huntington is one of those towns where you have to be careful who you grope and where. He wouldn't have gotten away with that even at the Stonewall, Huntington’s very own gay bar.
I love stand-up and have been to the Funnybone many times, but I passed up an opportunity to see Mr. Dick. His humor does not appeal to me and his history of blatant disrespect for the dignity of others is repulsive. He has been arrested previously for a sexual assault of a teenage girl in a resteraunt in 2008. His drug abuse is also well known. He used it to get his face back on television for a celebrity re-hab show.
If he is that desperate for negative attention, I have a few suggestions for him:
#1. Urinate on the sidewalk. But wait, he already did that in Columbus Ohio in 2007.
#2. Expose his genitalia to his audience. Or better yet, scream racial slurs at his audience. What? He’s done those too?
#3. Lick the faces of other celebrities at a celebrity roast. Already did that too?
What a guy.
Mr. Dick stayed at the Western Regional Jail but was released on bail in time to do his show Saturday night. I hope he has had enough of West Virginia because West Virginia has had enough of him. My friend in California said they don’t want him back there either. There must be place for people like him. Any suggestions?
