18 YEARS OF GIVING AMERICA THE KIND OF LAUGHTER THAT COMES FROM A DARK PLACE, TEACHES YOU ABOUT LIFE, GETS ITS HAIR STUCK IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL, FALLS DOWN AT ITS WEDDING, AND OCCASIONALLY HITS YOU IN THE CROTCH: Great article in The Observer today about the 16.7%-Official Comedian of ALOTT5MA (I can't speak for anybody else). A hint: some of the things he says (including a story repeated in the article) are almost unspeakably vile -- not just inappropriate, but bordering on unimaginable. Another hint: you know him as the fictional lovable widowed father of real-life twin moguls.
Three thoughts: (1) Do not google "danny tanner." The first hit is NSFW. (2) I need to be absolutely honest here and say that I occasionally watch and enjoy "America's Funniest Home Videos." Not that it's appointment TV, but if it's on and I'm not doing anything, I just do, okay? I mean, I love a good cat falling off the TV. (3) I'm having a hard time figuring out which of the brothers is shadier -- the guy described above, the guy who spends all of his free time freeloading off Hugh Hefner, or the dirty old man about whom Alanis maybe wrote 'You Oughta Know.'
