[a fool in paradise]

Little did I know that the evening would be filled with F-bombs from a number of Hollywoodans, so much so that the man that accepted the award for best movie at the end of the festivities (Peter Facinelli of the "Twilight" series) commented, "I just want to say I've never heard the word 'f--k' used so many times in one evening."

Time was when Hollywood would let loose one evening, behind closed doors, at a Friar's Roast.

Now they are taped for public broadcast (they were taped for their own personal enjoyment in the past and some of those tapes have linked, odd hearing Maurice Chevalier say c&*#sucker). And women used to be refused admission to their stag dinners (they honored 3 women, Sophie Tucker, Lucille Ball, and Phyllis Diller).

Now it is all out in the open. The culture is in a toilet. Does anyone do "high art" anymore?
