Shill Is A Shuck - A review by Pam Hanna
Some characters are undoubtedly modeled on real people, but even they are not fleshed out to resemble real human beings. I'm guessing that O'Bannon is Emmet Grogan, The Poet is Allen Ginsberg and the Riggers are most probably the Diggers. Tahiti was allowed to keep his own name but not developed as a character. I did recognize the man who lives near Silver City and makes his own beer but only because the author says it tastes like champagne and there could be only one such person.

Thank you Lt. Ehren Watada for standing up for international, US and military law by refusing to deploy to Iraq in support of the ongoing illegal war and occupation.

"I refuse to be silent any longer. I refuse to watch families torn apart, while the President tells us to "stay the course." ...I refuse to be party to an illegal and immoral war against people who did nothing to deserve our aggression. I wanted to be there for my fellow troops. But the best way was not to help drop artillery and cause more death and destruction. It is to help oppose this war and end it so that all soldiers can come home."
- LT, US Army officer

First U.S. military officer to publicly refuse orders in support of the illegal Iraq War at coordinated events in Tacoma, Washington and Honolulu, Hawaii on Wedensday, June 7th. Join this unprecedented political and legal support campaign today!

Strangers With Candy stars Amy Sedaris as Jerri Blank, a 47-year-old loser junky whore high school freshman with lesbian tendencies. Got that? As one might guess, the movie plays off the temptation, as well as the prohibition, implied in its name. It is a brand of comedy that invites one's sense of humor to venture where it has not dared go before.

Strangers with Candy shows the onscreen relationship between co-screenwriters/co-stars Paul Dinello (The Colbert Report, and the SWC TV series) and Stephen Colbert (The Colbert Report, The Daily Show). The two play schoolteachers Geoff and Chuck, who are also squabbling gay lovers who offer a cynically comic spoof of gay relationships. [Read More...]

I've followed SWC since Comedy Central days and look forward to the movie. It was extremely raw for television and the writing is the best I've seen.

Reminds me of the old classic, Trails In The Sand, by Dangling Dick. Actually, it's an ad for extra large condoms and one of many condom ads which happen to be safe for viewing at work (SFW). Beside being funny, it's effective.
