Hollowwood Gladiators
If Michael "Kramer" Richards at his age can't handle a heckler he should stick to pre-written lines on sitcoms. This may shock a few, but I, Kate, have never seen an episode of Seinfeld. I feel so alone.
The hecklers were correct. Kramer Michael is not funny. A washed up has been comic, made wealthy by Hollywood writers where onscreen talent is the least requirement of what makes a star a star.
Many Richards fans will twist and parse the tirade and excuse it, justify it. He was provoked and lost his cool, etc. Richards can play dumb, or play heckling victim, announce he's bipolar and off his meds, claim temporary insanity – but even the dullest nitwit knows the Laugh Factory tirade was a glimpse of the real Richards.
That's "what happens when you interrupt a white man, pal."
Let's broadcast "Stick a fork in it" Richards, OJ "If I Did It", and "Jews Cause All Wars" Gibson together in small hut with Ka-Bar knives discussing race, religion, and crime for a few weeks. Call it reality TV.

Right on Kate,
How often I've dreamed of putting the powerful idiot murderers, one-track zealots, and whores of babylon into the Thunderdome--only could it be on another planet where we didn't have to watch it, hear about it, or clean up after it?
Another planet, good idea. Likely we'd still hear about it though - the profitmongers would beam it down as pay-for-view.
