5 Secret Insults Hidden In TV Shows
http://ift.tt/2qtEE0w It all began when Sorkin noticed his show was being discussed on the website Television Without Pity. Unfortunately they weren't, as he presumably hoped, discussing how awesome Aaron Sorkin was -- instead, they were ragging on him for not acknowledging his co-writer Rick Cleveland's work on the series whilst accepting an Emmy, and being an all-around glory-hogging, floppy-haired a-hole. Naturally, Sorkin signed in to defend his internet honor, and things went downhill from there. His worst messages have been lost to the sands of time, but here's a recap by another poster:
At one point, Sorkin had passive-aggressively dissed his co-writer on the Emmy-winning show, saying he did all the work himself and basically credited the other dude out of the kindness of his heart. Once said co-writer showed up on the forum, Sorkin apologized and left the website. After all, he was an adult with work to do, and didn't have time to be childish on message boards. And by "work," we mean writing a West Wing episode about message boards. In "The U.S. Poet Laureate," the character Josh Lyman discovers a website where people are discussing him. He takes umbrage at what's being said, logs on to have a calm discussion, and gets sucked into an unfair debate with what the show describes as chain-smoking basement-dwellers and mentally unstable, muumuu-wearing losers. VIDEO One character even repeats some phrases from Sorkin's final message board post. To recap, Aaron Sorkin, one of Hollywood's most lauded creators, dedicated an episode of a critically acclaimed show to get back at random posters who'd called him mean names by calling them even meaner names to millions of viewers. So if you see any particularly pretentious posters in this article's comments section, be sure to tell them that A Few Good Men ruled.
