Yeah, maybe to "civilians" outside the entertainment industry it would be weird. But "sexual harassment"?
LOL. That's for marks. Not real carny's.
A REAL comedian would have not only watched the whole thing...but would have taken notes on it when they got home so they wouldn't forget anything.
Then they would incorporate the story of Louis CK jerking off into their comedy routine.
I know you don't see that. But I'm telling you...whether you play in a band, do stand up comedy, travel as a cowboy in a rodeo, travel as a pro wrestler...whatever aspect of entertainment you are in...you see some wild shit.
And pro's laugh it off.

I'm well aware of how the entertainment industry works. I wrote for a music magazine in the early 90's and have spent a lot of time around bands. I am of the opinion that it is okay to want to be in the entertainment industry and not want to watch strange dude's jerk off. My point in all of this was in response to Tony's post saying Louis has no power. That is just wrong. I was trying to point out that because of his status in the industry he has power, potentially a lot of it, and when you have that people put up with shit they normally wouldn't. Sometimes they do it because they want something from you. Sometimes they do it because they fear you or what you will do if they don't.
You think if people don't either just forget about it and move on or use it in their act (something that could cause them a lot of trouble potentially) then they don't deserve to be in the entertainment industry. I don't. Fair enough. We disagree. It's a free country.
