... because actors don't have bodily functions. Same with movie stars.

It's just gross! And I know FOR A FACT that they shake hands with people afterwards.

Equity should have a rule about this.

Right. They just explode when they turn 50.

How would you know if ANY human being being whose hand you shook washed their hands after they used the facilities? You don't. That's why you wash YOUR hands.

This is ridiculous.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I think the NYC Council should get right on top of this condemning the practice.

It would be on par with a number of the sillier things they have done. The latest is wanting to fine manufacturers of electronic equipment if people that bought it do not dispose of it properly.

Its predecessor , the Board of Estimate, was a joke unto itself.I got a real good civics lesson about 30 years ago showing how little power people have & how politicans could care less about right or wrong. I speak from experience.

Relatedly, what if it's that time of the month for Sherie Rene or Sierra? I don't want my Playbill signed in red!
