I'm running with my head cut off yesterday trying to get ready for the test shoot for my talk show and I get a phone call. I answer it with...
"Hello."
"Is this Scott Jensen?"
Said in that way that bill collectors talk. Oh well. I don't lie so...
"Yes."
"Is this the Scott Jensen of The Scott Jensen Show?"
Ah! Must be one of the businesses I've emailed about doing a barter deal or a possible guest for the show that I've sent an inquiry to before bringing onboard my guest booker. I switch from cautious to happy tone.
"Yes it is."
"So you're the one that has been posting to the stripper forums?"
Now that struck me odd. Especially as it was a guy calling. I switch from happy to a bit confused.
"Yes."
"I think you should haven't have strippers on your show."
WTF???? The show hasn't even done its test shoot yet ... to say nothing about filming its first episode, the soonest episode being planned for strippers is the sixth, and I'm getting a call like this????? I switch from confused to cold.
"Why?"
"Are you going to portray them in a positive light?"
"I'm going to show them respect and treat them like any other professional. I don't call that positive or negative light. Is that a problem?"
"Yes. Portraying strippers in a positive light is bad for society."
"Why?"
Silence. I guess no one ever asked him that before.
"Do you have children?"
"What business is that of yours?"
"I do and I don't want my daughters to think that taking off one's clothes is a real career choice. Strippers are nothing but prostitutes. Even if they don't take money for sexual intercourse, they still sell sex and..."
"Excuse me. I really don't have time for this. I get your point. We disagree. Good-bye."
I then went back to running around with my head cut off to get ready for the test shoot. I was expecting him to call back right away, but he didn't. I was expecting to have a message on my voicemail when I got back from the test shoot, but there wasn't. Nor has he called today.
If the person that called reads this, please do not call me again.
And that's the odd thing. If he hates strippers so much as to try to get a talk show not to "portray" them in a positive light, why is he even reading this forum? Or have I just hopped onto this forum during a lull of posts that attack strippers?

On top of that, the current leader of my state (Wisconsin) legislature is Scott Jensen. *laugh*
IMO, the biggest proponents of censorship and 'moral judgement' are those with the most to hide.
