(UPDATED: The ‘Replace Biggs With Steinberg’ Drive) Jason Biggs: My Doppelganger Goes Full Bigot
UPDATED: Customer pressure appears to be mounting on Nickelodeon, Biggs’ current employer — he is the voice of Leonardo on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. (Interesting fact: I briefly worked for Nickelodeon in my twenties, and a confused intern actually thought Jason Biggs was the new Administrative Assistant.)
So — I’m in, I don’t want to go down with this ship. The “Replace Biggs With Steinberg!” movement commences now. Any readers able to design some t-shirts?

In certain lighting and following a reasonably stiff drink, strangers start to inform me that I look like that actor who had erotic relations with an apple pie. This has resulted in a few evenings of fun for me over the years, as when we notice people whispering “is that the guy?” and pointing in dark restaurants, my wife and I pretend to be having an emotional conversation about a wayward friend named “Stifler”.
After last night’s performance, this is not a person I ever wish to be associated with, even mistakenly. He revealed himself to be a classic jerk, a careless, dehumanizing, misogynist bigot pushing the worst sort of Leftist demonization. Twitchy has compiled the filth to read; I’d rather not repost it here. But you should see it, if only for a glimpse at what a Hollywood Leftist feels he can safely get away with if the target is conservatives or Christians.
My guess is even Hollywood will respond negatively to this — but only for the misogyny. Perhaps Biggs will be needing a new agent by this evening. I’ll be at home, dyeing my hair.

Please folks, get rid of cable and satellite TV. You will feel better and have a better life. Don’t go back until they offer ala carte.
The crudity and the nastiness on display from Hollywoodoids like Biggs and others (Cher, Ellen Barkin, etch) just boggles the mind. Are they so stupid and thoughtless that they do not realize they are alienating at least half of their potential audience in venting their spleen like this?
I do not mind that an entertainment personality has a political opinion, or even go so far as to back a cause or a campaign. But can’t you do it without grossly insulting and belittling those who do not agree with you?
My own personal ‘do not ever watch-list’ has grown by leaps and bounds in the last four years. I’ll add this person to it, although I can’t ever remember watching anything he was in, anyway.
Thanks, Hollywood! Won’t see ya, don’t wanna be ya!
