John Schneider is an ass
Jul. 16th, 2002 02:45 amI'd call him a tool, but that would imply he's good for something. The man is a waste of skin.
As if his sermon about the wrongness of not being skinny on Larry King last Friday wasn't enough, now I've been pointed to an episode of Politically Incorrect he appeared on, where he seriously proposed separate bathrooms for gay people. Segregation much, John? Is there still a Confederate flag on your car?
It's been suggested, among other punishments (much fertile imagination has been applied to conceiving appropriate torments for Schneider of late), that Clark/Lex should be made text on Smallville, and Jonathan Kent written as supportive of his big gay alien son. Much as I like to picture such things, I know it ain't gonna happen.
What I think would actually play quite well -- as in, be palatable to the network and draw viewers without scaring conservative ones away -- would be a plot contravening Schneider's other shameful prejudice. Give us a character with anorexia... and make it Lillian. I'm not a doctor or any other kind of medical expert, but I think anorexia would be a wholly plausible root cause for the health problems we know she had. I can see all kinds of interesting nuances of Luthor family interactions being revealed through such a storyline too.
Of course that isn't really enough to punish Schneider properly. Maybe I could follow him into a restroom and accuse him of hitting on me.
