Just What Actors Need

Now this is something to behold. Ironic that over at the home theatre blog there is a post about John Wilkes Booth. This kid must be really untalented, she poisoned a girl three years younger than her to get a part in a collection of one act comedies? Ah Texas. Stranger is the charge of tampering with consumer products? I didn't know that was a crime, seems like it should be attempted murder, assault, or POISONING. Moreover; if tampering with consumer products is a crime, why isn't interfering with an audition? That’s corporate America for you. This is just the kind of thing that the right will use as justification for the elimination of arts programs in schools, with no mention of all those cheerleading fiascos that were so popular in the 90's. These kids need to understand that those of us who are actors don't need the negative press; people hate us anyway - unless we're on Lost. I say this because I saw this report on MSNBC originally and it was reported as "...Actor poisons fellow Actress..." in the crawl. Is there any wonder that we have an information problem in this country?
