Essay 4416
Watching paint dry in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Mattel recalled 800,000 Chinese-made toys for excessive amounts of lead paint. It’s the third recall for the toymaker this summer. Maybe they should introduce a toy lead painter’s kit.
• Jerry Lewis is backpedaling over an anti-gay comment he made during his annual telethon. While performing a freestyle ramble with a cameraman, Lewis joked, “Oh, your family has come to see you. … You remember Bart, your older son. … Jesse, the illiterate faggot.” Lewis later said, “I apologize to anyone who was offended. … Everyone who knows me understands that I hold no prejudices in this regard. That something like this would distract from the true purpose of the telethon pains me deeply.” Next year’s telethon celebrity lineup will include Isaiah Washington and Sen. Larry Craig.
