This is gross misconduct!
Someone is accusing George Takei of drugging and assaulting them. I figured Gary would be the first staff member caught up in this celebrity molestation craze.

They did a prank to Gary long ago with something similar to that, I think.

Also, farewell to George ever coming back. True or not, Howard's already lost his number. Hope it's not true but man, I just can't tell anymore.

Is that when he wrote the creepy letter to Howard in all caps practically in crayon saying how he'd be his friend and love him and take care of him and SOMEHOW this made Howard hire him on?

The next few days will be telling - in all these other cases there has been a torrent of other accusations. This seems pretty counter to what we know of him. Though having said that remember he grabbed that Jonah dude's dick super aggressively in the studio.

I'm reminded of the Sam Simon story where he said that George wasn't asked to come back on The Simpsons because he creeped out one of the interns.

I don't think Takei's future with the show is in question yet. The claim doesn't line up with a lot of other claims of drugging (like Cosby) and right now there is only one person making a 40 year old claim. Even if the story it true, the claim sounds closer to having one too many drinks, sobering up, and changing his mind, at which point Takei backed off. Not that the story isn't true, there is just not enough evidence or a pattern to think Takei really did anything yet.

I'm not saying he gets a free pass, but it was semi-illegal to be a great big homo during his youth. It had to feel weird as gently caress to deal with that.

Exactly, George is a total horn dog. He got a free pass because he had to be in a closet for so long. Honestly as long as you're not messing with anyone underage I don't think it's a bid deal. It seemed like it was pretty dangerous to be gay until about 15-20 years ago. Before that you had to worry about someone either arresting you or beating the poo poo out of you for making a move on them. It genuinely was a different time.

Sal truly makes me want to vomit. I'll never be able to understand the fascination with piss that some people have, I just can't. I'm also convinced if you have a decent sexual history you'll run into someone who is into that or wants to try it. I had a girl ask me to do it and I'm normally pretty free sexually but nothing about soaking someone I want to gently caress in my piss gets me hard. She didn't really push it and it never came up again but it was just weird.

Anyway, this is what brought that about. Sal is vile.

They seem to be advertising it that way. It is a catch-up day, so they are going to be playing calls and bits and "interviewing Robin about her singing" with a bunch of new songs. Actually sounds like fun...

It was nothing like what Howard started to do to Johnny in the homo room, when Johnny was sleeping. :colbert:

Howard just read another message from George on the air where George indicates when he was on the show everything he said was a "sketch/bit" and that Howard kinda pushed him into saying things like he grabs men, etc.

Howard didn't get pissed but you can tell he seemed disappointed. They still want him on the show apparently.

I can't defend what George may or may not have done, but "Gay Consent" is very different from hetero-normative consent. Gay guys use a lot less words.

George being gay is probably going to save him on this one, that and the fact that nobody else is stepping forward and sort of insinuating a pattern to George's behavior. I tend to agree that George did what he said he did on the show but at this point it's he-said, he-said. If another person steps forward then George probably just needs to retire and hope history will be kind to him, which I think it probably will.

As a total aside, I saw that ETM had 23,000+ tweets when he died. When you think of how long it took him to say something can you imagine how much of his life he spent typing out 23,000+ tweets? His hosed up speech pattern made it so he couldn't even use a speech-to-text thing so it was all typing with those claws.
