Based on a reader's comment to my musings about Frank Oz, comments that had nothing to do with Frank Oz (was he was hit with a pie?) I must share.
Portland Oregon, Willamette Week writer Becky Ohlsen was attacked/ pranked/whatever by Clinton Street owner Seth Sonstein after she wrote something he didn't like. A video of the incident that he had filmed was posted on YouTube. Guess he was proud of his prank.
This is of interest to me for many reasons.
1. I used to be a film critic at Willamette Week.
2. A review I wrote for "Deep Throat" further angered protesters outside The Clinton Street with one yelling at my editor, "Are you Kim Morgan?!" No pie but I got some death threats.
3. I was assaulted with food once only, the police were called. It should be noted that I didn't call the cops--the restaurant did and I never pressed charges.
4. I know and like Becky.
5. I sure as hell hope Mo'Nique dosen't attempt to pelt me with the entire menu of House of Pies after reading all I've ever said about "Phat Girlz."
I'm not posting the video because that's some really bad pie "throwing." Sonstein needs to watch more Mack Sennett comedies. --posted by Kim
