Jane Fonda: Sexual Predators Shouldn’t Try To Come Back Unless They’ve ‘Done The Work’
“F**k it! Sweep the floor at Starbucks until you learn! If you can’t learn, you don’t belong in the boardroom”
~Jane Fonda
Jane Fonda has some advice for powerful men who have admitted to, or been accused of, sexual abuse: Don’t bother trying to return to the spotlight unless you can demonstrate you’ve actually learned from your mistakes.
“Oh, poor top-paid executives who can’t get his job back,” the actress and activist said Thursday at an event promoting her upcoming HBO documentary, “Jane Fonda in Five Acts,” as Vanity Fair reported. “Fuck it! Sweep the floor at Starbucks until you learn! If you can’t learn, you don’t belong in the boardroom. And there are plenty of women who do belong in the boardroom.”
Former TV hosts Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer, who have denied allegations that they harassed women at their workplaces, have reportedly mulled returning to television. Actor and comic Louis C.K., who admitted to masturbating in front of female comedians, recently performed at the Comedy Cellar, a storied New York club.
Fonda specifically cited Rose ― who has been accused of sexually harassing scores of women, including staffers at his shows ― as someone who hasn’t “done the work.”
“It doesn’t matter how much time. It depends on what the guy is doing,” Fonda said, when asked how long men who have been accused of sexual misconduct should take to attempt a comeback, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “Men are trained not to be empathic, not to be emotional. So it’s not easy what they’re trying to do, but they have to try to do it. So it doesn’t matter if it takes two weeks or a year, two years. It depends on what kind of changes they’ve gone through.”

Bert And Ernie Are A Gay Couple Says Former ‘Sesame Street’ Writer
Bert and Ernie are who YOU imagene them to be. I always thought Bert and Ernie were just good friends who just hung out. And who just happened to be roommates. I do love the fact that this former writer of Sasame Street from 1985-1988 could see himself and his partner in these two beloved Sesame Street characters . Now im more inclined to believe Frank Oz one of the original creators. But it seems SOME of the people of LGBTQ community want to believe other wise. As long as you (former writer for Sesame Street could see himself and his partner) can see yourself in Bert and Ernie then it’s alright with me!
A former “Sesame Street” writer says there’s some truth to the long-standing rumors that two of the show’s most beloved characters, Bert and Ernie, are gay.
Emmy winner Mark Saltzman, who is credited with having worked on 31 episodes of “Sesame Street” that aired from 1985 through 1998, told LGBTQ news outlet Queerty he always saw Bert and Ernie as a same-sex couple.
“I remember one time that a column from The San Francisco Chronicle, a preschooler in the city turned to mom and asked, ‘Are Bert and Ernie lovers?’ And that, coming from a preschooler was fun,” Saltzman said in an interview published Sept. 16. “And that got passed around, and everyone had their chuckle and went back to it. And I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert and Ernie, they were. I didn’t have any other way to contextualize them.”
The writer, whose other credits include “The Jim Henson Hour” and the TV movie musical, “Mrs. Santa Claus,” went on to suggest that the Bert and Ernie’s storylines were inspired by his real-life relationship.
“The other thing was, more than one person referred to Arnie & I as ‘Bert & Ernie,’” Saltzman said, referring to his partner, Arnold Glassman, a filmmaker and film editor who died in 2003.
“I was already with Arnie when I came to ‘Sesame Street.’ So I don’t think I’d know how else to write them, but as a loving couple,” he said. “I wrote sketches … Arnie’s OCD would create friction with how chaotic I was. And that’s the Bert and Ernie dynamic.”
Actor, director and puppeteer Frank Oz, who performed regularly as Bert from 1969 through 2001, also offered his take.
It seems Mr. Mark Saltzman was asked if Bert & Ernie are gay. It's fine that he feels they are. They're not, of course. But why that question? Does it really matter? Why the need to define people as only gay? There's much more to a human being than just straightness or gayness.

Bert and Ernie have, of course, endured speculation over their sexuality numerous times since they were created by Jim Henson for the pilot episode of “Sesame Street,” which aired in 1969.
In the 2001 book Hollywood Urban Legends, author Richard Roeper traced the rumors back to Spy magazine founder Kurt Anderson, noting that Bert and Ernie “conduct themselves in the same loving, discreet way that millions of gay men, women and hand puppets do” and “live a splendidly settled life together in an impeccably decorated cabinet.”
In 1994, the Rev. Joseph Chambers, a Pentecostal minister from North Carolina, even attempted to get the characters banned under the state’s sodomy laws, according to The Advocate. “Bert and Ernie are two grown men sharing a house and a bedroom,” Chambers said at the time. “They share clothes, eat and cook together and have blatantly effeminate characteristics.”
And while “Sesame Street” has repeatedly denied the claims, Bert and Ernie have been depicted as a same-sex couple in popular culture numerous times.
The July 8, 2013, issue of the New Yorker, for instance, showed the characters cuddling together on a sofa to celebrate the Supreme Court declaring the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, unconstitutional that June. Still, given the years of speculation, it’s unlikely we’ve heard the last of the Bert and Ernie scrutiny just yet.

Virginia Man Accused Of Rubbing Produce On Buttocks And Putting It Back On Shelves
Get this dude a REAL woman!
It really puts the “gross” in grocery.
A Virginia man is facing charges after he allegedly grabbed produce at a Manassas store, pulled down his pants and rubbed the food items on his bare buttocks.
The suspect then allegedly put the tainted produce back on the shelves, according to The Associated Press.
Michael Dwayne Johnson, 27, was arrested Saturday afternoon at the Giant Food Store after an employee called 911 about destruction of property.
The employee told officers Johnson was allegedly seen “picking up produce, pulling down his pants, rubbing the produce on his buttocks, and replacing the produce back on the shelf,” according to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun.
Johnson was arrested inside the supermarket and charged with two misdemeanors: indecent exposure and destruction of property.
According to the police report, store employees had to destroy several pallets of produce presumedly tainted by Johnson’s bare heinie.
Authorities say they haven’t determined a possible motive.
Although a police spokesperson told NBC Washington she did not know what type of produce Johnson allegedly defiled, a police report mentioned it was fruit.
