Kevin Smith on Amazon’s Internet TV Show
I was at Amazon.com, was successfully promoted to, and checked out the Amazon Fishbowl with Bill Maher. It’s essentially a half-hour TV show served on Amazon.com. There’s a brief interview with Kevin Smith, which I suppose is pretty unremarkable. Later in the episode, you can watch the Indigo Girls and a subsequent, awkward interview with Bill in which he asks:
If I went to an Indigo Girls concert, I wouldn’t be set upon by packs of angry lesbians, would I?
The Girls assure him that he wouldn’t be.
One interesting note on censorship: in the Smith interview, Kevin reveals that he likes to “tug one out” first thing in the morning. A brief discussion of masturbation ensues. Later, the Indigo Girls sing the word ‘fuck’ in their new single, and it gets muted out. This is the peculiar double-standard of term-based censorship: conversation about masturbation, okay; singing a single cuss word, not okay.
By the way, Kevin Smith has a blog.
