Kirk Cameron gets busted

[pythonzzz]

@MeanOldLady

Good Jesus, and he apparently sells the shit out of his DVDs too. Who would… I mean why… Okay, look, even if I were a Jesus freak and the kind of person to let a seminar tell me what to do with my marriage, why the hell would I listen to Kirk Cameron?

IIRC, he recently made a movie where he refused to kiss the woman playing his wife – because he’s so anal, he believes that he’s cheating when he kisses another woman when he’s acting. WTF???

I heard that too. IIRC, for the movie they had to put his wife in a wig and have be a kiss double for the other actress.

Also apparantly both he and his wife(who’s also an actress) refuse to ever take their wedding rings off.

The worst though, is that while on Family Ties, after he became born again, he forced the show to fire the actress playing his girlfriend because a few years earlier she’d posed for playboy.

Growing Pains, not Family Ties. I don’t remember anyone from FT going all fundy.

That article from “The Friendly Atheist” (cool site, btw), mentions it, too.

FYI - he whores himself out to speak at marriage seminars - you can even get VIP seating nearer to the podium, for an extra fee.

If he’s speaking about something he actually believes in then he’s probably not whoring himself out.

Pity, because I* respect* whores.

(Also, I kinda wish when people break links they’d just break them in one place, its kind of annoying to play “find the space” and once its broken once, I don’t think making it “more broken” adds any extra protection)

@t-bonham@scc.net

I quite agree.
That was annoying as hell.

@Marley23

And there’s an easier way to work it - just post the link as normal, but inside noparse tags.

Or inside a spoiler box. Still clickable and meets the “two click” rule.

@Guinastasia

Fuck, when I saw the title, I was hoping he got caught with meth or something.

Or something, yes.

Kirk Cameron’s wife was (is) the most beautiful of all the beauties to ever do their 1-episode stint on Seinfeld.

Therefore, I have no problem whatsoever with Kirk Cameron.

@pythonzzz

It looks like the artist mixed up “Growing Pains” with “Doogie Howser”…

Hell, that bust could be of the guy who is uncovering it.
