A:
You know who DJ AM is, right?
B:
Yeah, he died in a plane crash like a year ago, yeah?
A:
Well, he was in one, but he didn't die. I think some other people did though. Regardless, he overdosed on crack and died like a week or two ago.
B:
Right on. Was he a big crackhead or what?
A:
That's just it. He used to be, but like eleven years ago he got clean. So he's been clean for like eleven years, but still kind of dealing with the plane crash and everything, and then MTV gives him a deal to do a whole season of a reality TV show, where he goes around and talks to druggy kids, or yells at them or whatever to try and get them to not do drugs. And at one point in the series, he buys a crackpipe to show how easy it is!
B:
WOW! That is a TERRIBLE idea!
A:
YEAH! I know! And I guess he was like, "Wow, I haven't held one of these in so long... it still feels like electricity in my hand." So now MTV is trying to decide whether or not to air the season
B:
My prediction? Yeah, they sure will, they totally will.
A:
Haha. Oh yeah. What a big surprise that will be. And they released this statement and all about how tragic it is to see him go, that he did all this outreach with kids on their show, etc.
B:
Oh yeah, sure they did. Did they Photoshop out the big knife in his back that said MTV on the handle?
A:
Nice one, you should make political cartoons or something.
B:
I hate political cartoons. I think the cartoonists are all conceited, thinking their incoherent drawing of an elephant on a barrel with a donkey in a burning tree or whatever is really Speaking Truth to Power or something.
A:
Yeah, I don't like them either. But yeah, crazy about that guy huh?
B:
Yeah, totally ridiculous.
