THAT disturbs you after Sal spitting on Richard Christy's cock? Sniffing a 16 year-old's dirty panties is downright normal in comparison.

See, I'm not surprised that Sal did that to Richard. Shocking, yes, but after hearing so much of their antics, cock-spitting was a natural progression for those two.
Sniffing a stranger's panties is creepy. Sniffing underage panties is super creepy and disturbing. Sal doing it to someone he knew, in this case Mutt's daughter, is creepy to the nth level. Sal works with (to some extent) and knows Mutt, and doing that to the guy's underaged daughter is a line that should have never been crossed.
You know, Sal and Richard may just be gay for comedy, but if it's not real buttlove, then they need to tone it down just a tad. It really is wearing thin and ruining bits that could be otherwise funny.
The Bad News: Artie Lange's Beer League only made about $320,000 this past weekend.
The Good News: This means Artie's going to renew his contract.
If the shows consist of constant gay humor and abusing privacy of underage girls than I'm glad I never got into Sirius.
Howard and the crew were disgusted when Sal revealed about his panties-sniffing incident. It wasn't a planned bit, and after the drubbing Sal got for his actions, it looks like the invasion of Mutt's daugther's privacy was a one shot-deal.
As for the gay humor, they just have to stop bringing Richard into the studio. All bets are off when George Takei visits though.
I saw Beer League Friday night. We had just left a bar and had heard it was barely playing anywhere, so as a goof I called moviephone to see it anywhere local was showing it, and surprise surprise, the theater 5 minutes from where we were driving had a showing 10 minutes from then (12:20AM).
Anyway, it had some funny bits (the re-occurring gag where Artie would start wheezing and almost die any time he ran), and it was cool seeing Artie on the big screen.
However, overall, it wasn't good. It had the most clichéd, overused plot device ever conceived (group of losers and misfits suck at softball, have to band together as a team and make it to the big playoffs). It was amusing in parts (mostly to do with Artie), but overall it was just kinda meh (and VERY low-budget looking). I honestly have to say that Stern and Robin have to be lying to Artie when they called the movie "side-splitting." If it wasn't for Artie being who he is the movie would be instantly forgettable.
BTW, Ralph Macchio is unrecognizable now. Not old looking, but he looks and sounds NOTHING like he used to. It's really weird. And Artie in a wifebeater is one of the grossest things you'll ever see.
Are you sure? I know Artie was saying it needed to make a million in order to get national distribution, and this morning they announced that it was indeed getting national distribution and everyone congratulated Artie. I didn't hear how much it actually made, however.
