[There's a thread about this on the main board, but it rightly belongs on the off-topic.]
After watching this last night, I turned to significant other and said "My. God." Oddly enough, it wasn't the beauty pageant mother, or the mother trying to mold her son into the next Aaron Carter, that stunned me. It was this guy named (get this) Duncan Nutter.
It seems that Duncan Nutter and his wife have seven children, which is really surprising since Duncan Nutter pings louder than all the tinkling bells in christendom. Anyway, Duncan Nutter has a dream. By golly, he's gonna be an actor. Which isn't so bad, but he decided that by golly, his entire ratchinfratchit family are going to be actors, too...whether they want to or not!
So what does Duncan Nutter do? He moves all 9 Nutters (mama included)to Queens to live in a two bedroom walk-up. All 9 of them, you understand, in a 2 bedroom apartment. Their large spacious home in Vermont is being rented. And then Papa Rose goes to work.
He traipses his kids all over New York..the Nutter unit...auditioning until their tongues bleed. One son, Aaron, apparently has some kind of talent, because he gets cast in THE FULL MONTY. The others, however, are so ovvvvvver it...but are doing it because Papa Rose wants them to.
As for Duncan Nutter (aka Papa Rose), he is fulfilling his dream, too -- by ripping tickets at the St. James Theatre.
Gentle reader, it's completely unbelievable. The selfishness of this man defies description.
Check out his bio at the link. You gotta scroll down. Am I right -- is that the GAAAAAYEST headshot you've ever seen?

amusing!!!
There is a discussion on the main board about this. I thought it would be moved to here but was not.
It airs again on Friday!
You can't make sh*t like this up....
