Consider the case of Susan Buzzi, a former arts administrator in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The Broward County Art Guild fired her after she appeared in a field report by Ed Helms, who made the trip down from New York to lampoon an exhibit Buzzi put together on politically controversial art.
Buzzi’s part in the piece was small — Helms ended up casting it as a rhetorical battle between two rival artists. Mainly, she’s shown walking away from him in frustration. Still, a week after the piece aired in July, the Art Guild’s board voted in secret session to dismiss her as executive director.
The board gave no explanation for its action, but Buzzi told The Miami Herald at the time that board members told her they were unhappy with the report. An artist featured in the report said the board’s action gave the appearance of censorship.
I love "The Daily Show"! Love it! But I am often amazed that people let themselves be humiliated like they are just for my televison viewing pleasure. Don't get me wrong I am very appreciative, I just don't quite know how you cannot expect to lose most or all of your self-respect.
I love the one where the guy invented an actual Gaydar, all the while exhibiting stereotypical homosexual-like behavior. He could not seem to understand why the reporter kept doubting the accuracy of his gadget since it did not continually go off as he held it. Hah hah, good times.
