      <![CDATA[It's sad that so many people here, like bad children, don't know the difference between good attention and bad.  That fucker McFarlane's whole shtick is shock for shock's sake and bullying the underdog (women, handicapped folks, minorities, the poor).  When he tried that shit in a room full of rich people with media power, it just didn't fly.  Also: making fun of singing and carrying a tune while doing so does not equal actual singing ability.  The fucking idiot actually put out an album of standards.  It sounds like Brian the dog.

And it'll be funnier 'cause he and the audience will be much, much drunker.

The Stranger inherently promotes popularity and celebrity. Dan is huge! Books, websites, speaking tours. He is a popular guy. Maybe even in Europe. wow, that would be popular. Dominic is like the way coolest dude in Seattle proper. And Paul Constant, he is celebrity to the 100th power. His whole being is an imitation of a four inch boner. So yeah, they MUST obsess.
