Thanks, Donald. So far the best send up of the Hollaback video I’ve seen.
I’ve been watching the whole “controversy” unfold in Slate, Mother Jones, &c and it’s a hoot, there’s the original video, then charges of racism and white privilege, then allegations that white men harrass/oppress women differently [huh?]. Then a few, presumably white men asking, “What’s harrassing about ‘Good morning?’ “.
At least they shut up about the Republican War on Women for a minute.
. Unfortunately only half of those characters were planned….the other half just appeared from Manhattan in general.
“What’s harrassing about ‘Good morning?’ “.

I used to get catcalls walking to and from work, from the same sort of characters catcalling the nuyorican chick in the video, and with even greater frequency. It seems odd. Why’s an overweight stoop-shouldered chain-smoking office worker schlepping through downtown getting catcalls? My hats was the reason, or, more precisely, the deer-stalker. I guess “Sherlock’s” a survivor, just like Joey Heatherton.
