Kathy Griffin’s Poolside Pap? Really?!
Today, the Washington Post reported that My Life on the D-List was to air an oddly intimate episode of funny lady Kathy Griffin. And by intimate I mean, deep in her lady parts by means of a televised pap smear. Apparently, Griffin, in an attempt to one-up Katie Couric’s on-camera colonoscopy, scheduled an on-air pap… but not just at any ole gyno office but rather a public, poolside pap. Great.
Now, I am a big Kathy fan. She’s loud and obnoxious and she knows it. She generally has great material– including my favorite, Barbara Walters admitting she prefers ‘Astroglide.’ But this little stunt seems just like a rating cry for help.
In a press release, Kathy’s publicist wrote:
On Friday, April 16, [Griffin] will receive this important test in hopes that every woman will see how easy it is to get this done..Kathy feels that this cause is so important that she has bedazzled her [private parts] so it can be as ‘va-beautiful’ as it ‘va-can’
So let me get this straight, she’s also bedazzled her lady parts? Va-Really? Poolside sparkly bits… only in LA. I guess that’s one way to get a message across. Personally, I am over this whole “shock value” thing. I don’t see how this is going to help women at all or increase pap smear awareness. This is obviously a stunt move and not really meant to be an educational tool for women.
Thanks Kathy… now paps are going to be nicknamed cannon balls or something… or marco polos because maybe the medical professional will have trouble locating your junk… BAH! Cue horrible mental image.
