Funny Friends?
The lawsuit against Friends by a former writers assistant is one of the great “How will you keep ‘em in Hollywood if they still think they are on the farm?” documents of all time.
But perhaps my favorite, on first reading, is the page six revelation that Greg Malins – the pervy, oral-sex-fixated superstar of this deposition – felt that Adam Chase could have had sex with Jennifer Aniston had he moved quicker, followed by the page eight comment that Mr. Chase had opined to the complainant that he too felt that he could have engaged in sexual congress with Ms. Aniston.
And of course, the saddest thing I noticed, though it might be hidden in the inner folds of the deposition, was that no one seemed terribly interested in sex – oral, vaginal or anal – with Lisa Kudrow.
I don’t like any of the people whose ideas were recorded in this deposition. I don’t think the complainant deserves a dime. And I don’t doubt a single word she said.
It just goes to show that the writers, even talented writers, can be petty, worthless, self-involved, pieces of shit. And that should make us all cringe. But in the end, Hollywood will employ any brand of asshole that “it” things can make the machine money.
I am not worried about the sanctity of any of Mr. Aniston or Ms. Cox Arquette’s orifices. But the lack of humanity… that worries me alot.
Dude, don’t be a douchebag.
The only real asshole is the one who believes any of the lies that woman said. Why dont you ask around first before contributing to the distruction of someone’s carreer. I challenge you to find anyone who knows these who agree with anything she said.
Kudrow must feel like crap not turning on any nerdy, ugly writers.
Funny, since no one interviewed by the New York Times, who have worked in writer’s rooms, as I have, or run shows, seemed to find the accusations of language odd at all.

If you have worked in writers room and participated in such talk why do you condenm it so hard? Wait, let me guess, everyone else said stuff, you were squeakly clean. And if the NY Times decided not to use any part of the interviews with the at least seven people who denied her claims, that still doesn’t make them true.
Don -
I can’t claim to be a virgin. But I don’t talk about anyone, male or female, with the disregard that Mr. Malins allegedly showed… even in jest. Actually, I like to think I am funny enough not to have to resort to the dick jokes.
I have certainly laughed at those kinds of comments. In fact, my funniest Adam Sandler memory is of him telling the filthiest jokes he could at 1:30a at The Improv on weeknight many years ago.
But perhaps you are right. Perhaps she made it all up. It sounds plausible. Anyone who as spent time in any locker room knows that. And I think the suit is frivolous, regardless. But perhaps you are right.
I’m guessing the reason Kudrow was spared all the sex talk was because all this was supposedly taking place in 1999, right after Kudrow had her baby. As vulgar and base as these guys sound, I guess they still had enough respect to lay off the newborn-toting mother.
Hey Donny, relax.
lay off kudrow
shes sexy
