Weez The Juice.

You know, a couple years ago, we went to the circus.

While we waiting to get in, there were many charming members of PETA waiting along where we had to wait in line. They wanted us to feel guilty for watching all the abused animals. "Ma`am! You DO know they break their spirits, right???"
I giggled. Why? I giggled, because the person.. and I use the term loosely, who was warning me.. was .. well, a circus freak. I couldn't tell the sex, and barely could tell it was human. I'm immature.. sue me. Better yet, throw me in jail for going to a circus with all the abused animals.



So anyway, I'm all "Yeah well I already paid for the tickets" which was a total lie.. my mommy bought them for me. But still. I didn't have to be honest with the circus freak.



We get in and buy our 75 dollar snow cones. And out 87 dollar popcorn. We stepped right up to our seats. The circus began. First thing in the Greatest Show on Earth was a bunch of dogs.. doing all these tricks.. catching Frisbees.. only way better than you've ever seen. And all I could say to myself was "That Peta Monster was right.... I know how much dogs HATE playing around catching Frisbees every day. They would really rather not chase things and wag tails and get treats. Poor dogs."

And that's about how it was the whole circus... except......

The horses.

The horses came out and did this trotting thing all around and they had on the fancy saddles and what have you. And that was ok. But at the end... they made one of the horses take a bow on it's knees. And it made me feel sad inside. I'm not joking. It DID look broken. I felt a weird kind of pity I haven't felt.... well, not that I can remember feeling.... not before.

I felt that feeling again the other day.

An ad came on for a movie with Brendan Fraser.

FURRY VENGEANCE.

The title alone should have done it.. but it was the clip of what I believe was him dancing with an animal. I think his pants were partially pulled down or something.

He looked more beaten down than that horse.

I realize he's been Dudley Do-Right. And even in the horrifying Mrs. Winterbourne... but I always loved him for his Encino Man and of course Monkeybone.I of course liked With Honors, and even put up with Airheads. Sure, he kinda sucked in those MUMMY ones... but when I saw his ad for this new one, I could have cried.



Brendan, get some dignity. You're making me sick.

  1. PETA has it all wrong. All those animals choose to be in show business. The only really disturbing thing about animals in show business is the casting couch.

  2. Yeah.. well it's no secret why Brendan chose to be in "Monkeybone". Besides the fact that he thinks since it's been offered, he has to accept. Or maybe that's part of the deal. I wonder how much he has to do with the animal casting couch.

  3. While I haven't seen this cinematic masterpiece, honestly, who WOULDN'T want to be in something called "Monkeybone"? Seriously!
