That is the whole point. He was not attempting to be intellectually honest. There is no room for intellect in the theater. If you walk into Les Mis and use your intellect, the second you see that turntable in a prison camp you're going to yell, 'thats bulls*' and storm out.
I should have said if you don't go hear someone tell a story because of their past storytelling, you're being petty.
- tablescraps 15y agoHe wrote an op-ed at the NYT. You can't seriously claim he was just telling a story and should be allowed flexibility with the truth.
- skilesare 15y agoHe shouldn't have done that. His show belongs in the theater. It is a great piece of theater that pushes people to think about where their crap comes from. The things he talks about happened and do exist as themes in globalization. I think he got caught up in the fact that he started having an effect(and one that was needed) and didn't know how to operate in that environment.
- tablescraps 15y agoShould he have been on MSNBC or any of the talk shows he has been on in the past 2 months? Please stop making excuses for this piece of shit.
- eropple 15y ago>> He shouldn't have done that. To hell with "should" or "shouldn't" -- he did. And you're accusing people who wouldn't give him money to see his show because of what he did of "being petty."
- DanBC 15y ago> He was not attempting to be intellectually honest. That's incorrect. He lied in his story; then he lied to people who were trying to fact-check his story. He said "This is true" about things that were not true.
- skilesare 15y agoI should have clarified that I meant when he was writing his show. When the real journalists got involved he should have said, well...you really can't use my stuff in your context. He didn't and he should be called out.
