[Note: For those of you who don't like when I make fun of Nikki Finke, please avert your gaze.]I was recently poking through DHD to get my fix of self-congratulatory journalism, when I came across a funny little nugget. One of Darling Nikki's advertisers is for the upcoming smog-a-thon that is the THC Expo (Translation: Pot fair).
Knowing her anti-drug sentiment (or at least general concern about network execs passing a pee test), I was immediately thrown for a loop. And then it all made sense. Nikki's a stoner. 420 friendly. Holding. Totally unharsh. What evidence do I have?
-- She's awfully interested in the ongoings at Lions Gate (or is it Lionsgate, no one seems to know), the company that produces the Showtime hit Weeds and made stoner flicks like Heavy Metal 2000 and Repo! The Genetic Opera.
-- Nikki offered endless coverage of Comicon, an event that catersto stoners and weirdos who sit around and create cartoon characters like X-men, Racer X and...err...well anyway. Her "correspondent" for Comicon is Luke Y Thompson, which also happens to be an anagram for "Holy Pot. Me Sunk," a phrase potheads use when the cops are about to bust them.
-- And then there's today's ad (see below) for the Koreatown Collective a "medical marijauna (sic) collective that strives to offer the best prices and quality in the area."*
Nikki, I'm sorry. You're much cooler than I thought. Lemme know which of the upcoming Phish shows you wanna go see. I'm unemployed, so my schedule is clear.
* Yes, I do recognize the inherent humor of a pot dispensery misspelling marijuana.
