Wow... "amused by old women using 4-letter words and talking about sex" “scarred for life” - “I saw several women last night (of the "grandma drinks to forget" variety)” pretty harsh stuff... and kind of sexist.
I think I'll actually go see it with my own two eyes before I form an opinion. I'll probably enjoy it immensely as I do all their productions even though I am under 50 and not a conservative... but then again, I don't find older women to be anything to be ashamed of either.
Wow, indeed. Here's some thoughts:
- Do you seriously think I'm a sexist, who is ashamed of older women? Really? Do you? If you do, then you don't understand satire or sarcasm at all. And are you really that humorless and oversensitive? Lighten up; laugh a little!
- I thought "drinks to forget" was one of my funnier lines.
- Why not sign your name? Do you normally level an accusation like sexism at someone from the shadows of anonymity? That's not very nice (or responsible).
- Don't worry, I'm not really scarred for life. I hope you're not either.
- Anyone who forms their opinion based on just one review is a weak-minded person, so good for you. As you know, a review is just one critic's opinion to help steer you toward or away from something. I hope you go and enjoy the puppet and the acting, but now you know that one person didn't.
- What's "conservative" got to do with it? The theater-scene is no bastion of conservative thought, it's quite the opposite. What are you talking about? I enjoy the New Theatre in spite of my conservative values; have you actually been there?
- You're too young to be this grumpy.

No... I'm not humorless or oversensitive and I am the kind of person that laughs, a lot. I've even been known to blow coffee out of my nose once or twice... at my own jokes even.
I didn't sign my name because for some weird reason the google/blogger selection is not accepting my password and I got tired of trying to get it to work and having to retype the damn word verification.
But feel free to look me up at http://shesarunner.blogspot.com/
For the record... yeah, I do find your remarks to be sexist and ageist - and this is coming from someone who's life resembles an episode of hot rod garage. Blast me into the ether if you wish, it's just my opinion and there are plenty of them out there....
I'm saddened that you are so intolerant of my opinions (and humor) and feel the need to level fairly serious accusations when you don't even know me.
Oh well, I can't make you like me or prevent your being offended. I've struck a nerve and now your mind is made up about me. That's unfortunate.
God bless; good luck on your next run.
If this is the worst criticism you get for having a blog, you're doing well jared...I've been mocked and called stupid and everything else on my blog...I wrote a guest post on an industry blog and there were some rather unflattering comments about me...mocking me, actually.
I just smiled and didn't respond.
Thanks Jeff. You're right. I'm way too concerned with every last person feeling ok about me. That's a good way to go crazy.
Thanks again.
