Quote from: "Fashionista"I don't want my children to have actors or pop stars as role models..



I don't really care about the politics in Hollywood, but this is how my husband and I feel.

Actors and pop stars may have their good moments but there are better role models out there!

This is an interesting article. It suggests that it isn't a bias towards conservative artists, but simply the fact that conservative people are less likely to get involved in the arts to begin with.



I kinda agree with that. Of all the artists I've met (and I know a hell of a lot of authors and actors), I can only think of one that I know is conservative.

It wouldn't surprise me if conservatives face some discrimination in LA. Most likely it is not overt. I doubt any producer or director has said, I was thinking of casting Clint Eastwood, but I hate his politics. Still, from what I can tell, there is an anti conservative bias.

Only 400 pounders cannot see that conservatives are on Hollywood's margins. :lol:  ;)  :ugeek:

Miracles can happen, especially if you've got a few grand in your pocket.

Where is the likes of Oak going to get a few grand? From his commission off the sales of the Farting Dragon?

With those sales, perhaps in forty years he might be able to afford a hand job from a 67 year old drag queen with a beard.

If the drag queen is Asian, Gary will be right in there.
