Oscar castrates himself

The Academy celebrates niceness, bleeps out "bitch" and pats itself on the back for good behavior. And what did they do to poor Jon Stewart?

    Desperately Seeking Celebrity

    Seriously.

    The obnoxious award titles and panning of Jon Stewart are just another attempt to sound blase in a celebrity review where the author is trying to get in with them. Celebrities obviously don't want to hang out with screechy, star-struck fans. So why not act as if the Oscars are just some other show with just a bunch of actors?

    And Jon Stewart had a terrible audience. He was funny, and going so far as to offer prayer for him is just a go-along-with-the-crowd review, because the dissenter is never popular, is she?

    Is there some coincidence between this obnoxious attitude and this (http://www.salon.com/ent/feature/2006/03/02/aniston/) Salon story? Hangers-on should respond.

    —Dave
