Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, Extra and The Insider ignored Theo’s story as well. Would Mark Steines report on Mary Hart being killed by Islamists, since he had Anna Nicole’s last interview?
I once saw E!’s Steve Kmetko crying during the 9/11 broadcst of E! News? If E! covered Theo’s murder, Kmetko would’ve created an ocean or just laughed.

Eric,

Sorry for jumping to conclusions. I must be getting a little too jaded.

I thought your first paragraph was sarcastic and in bad faith. I knew the final sentence of your post didn’t fit with that interpretation but instead of just being confused and dropping it, I decided you were confused and I had to say something. A mistake I occasionally make.

Sorry you were at the receiving end.

Yes Ted, I do. I’m from NJ, and there was another family of Akawies also living there, who were cousins who we discovered when I was a teenager.

You can go to my blog http://www.flig.us and scroll down for an interesting revelation I had about my name a few months ago.

Photoncourier has my attitude pegged. I meant no accusation or disrespect, simply throwing a couple of ideas in front of Roger, and the rest of the blogosphere.

I do care about Van Gogh’s murder and would like for the case to be better known.

Not a bad idea, Richard. What does an ad in Variety cost?

I’ve seen people start funds to buy ads in the trades for cancelled TV shows for crying out loud. Maybe a PayPal button for Theo van Gogh isn’t a bad idea… “America Asks Hollywood…”

Rog,

Hate to break it to you buddy, but your pals in Hollywood have no clue even who Theo Van Gogh is.

And they don’t want to know.

(I doubt many of them know who Vincent Van Gogh is.)

However, when the Islamofascists begin beheading homosexuals just for being homosexuals (as in Iran the other day), then and only then, will you see Hollywood wake up and join the GWOT.

Until then … well, let’s just say that Jihad make strange bedfellows.

Kevin,

good post.

For a while I was ending most emails with the sentence “REMEMBER RUSHDIE”

I think I will start that again and use “REMEMBER THEO VAN GOGH”

How about it Roger. Maybe that can be our small contribution here. All of the regulars and visitors start inserting that into every email they send.
