...See the hypocrisy in Mewes' HBO deal? He beat jail by putting the judge in front of a camera. He's getting PAID to go thru rehab!
NewsAskew says that they won't report on this much as it has to do with Jason's 'privacy' - HE'S PUTTING IT ON TV! The only privacy concerns are those that may fuck up his TV deal!
I don't buy for a second that the true motive behind this HBO deal is some sort of altruistic 'don't do drugs' message. It's cashing in on celebrity in one of the crassest forms I've ever heard of.
Can any of you honestly say that you would have reacted to my questions in the same manner had it not been Jason Mewes? What if CarrotTop was doing the HBO 'documentary'? Or harmony Korine? Paul Thomas Anderson?
Keep your heads in the sand, kids. Toodles.
