Uh... something something... "degenerate conduct"

The former crew member bringing the lawsuit forth says he was [...] fired because he wouldn't participate in any of the "degenerate conduct."

I'm going to go with "unlikely" on this one.

Well clearly he can't hang. How you gonna hack it in show business like that kid?

/Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.

So the set of House is pretty much like real life?

The Stealth Hippopotamus: That and the women are HOT!

Hugh Laurie is also hot.

this thread needs more jennifer morrison.

What kind of drugs? And could you describe the sex acts in detail? This story is missing the essential details.

Jesus, the comments on that article are garbage.

The article makes the plaintiff sound like a looser that no one would want to be friends with.

This will go to trial and it will appear as if all is lost and they will lose the case. But at the very last moment while doing some trivial task, a lightbulb will go off in the defense attorney's head and they will win the case because of some obscure, rarely used law.

And that in a nutshell is every episode of House.

/still watch the show though

mitchcumstein1: Amber Tamblyn is going to House? That's pretty cool.

The rest of this story is horseshiat.

The allegations are pretty extreme and ridiculous, and definitely set off my bullshiat meter. But, on the other hand are they more extreme and ridiculous than the shiat Phil Spector actually did and got away with for decades?

Odds of a cash-grab lawsuit are high, but hardly a sure thing.

Degenerate conduct in Hollywood? Surely you must be joking!

Maybe the plaintiff can go find a home on Glee, something tells me there isn't a lot of homophobia extant on that set, just a House like hunch.

Adjective Bird Whiskey: I'm not a fan of those shows normally. House is interesting because House is an interesting character and the situations in the stories are always unusual...weird conditions and diseases..a mystery as much as a hospital show.

This. The show could be about any subject, it really doesn't have to be about a hospital. House could be a cop, or a lawyer, or a corporate raider, or some kind of engineering consultant, or a plumber. It's about House solving problems and being a misanthrope.

The medical backdrop is just background.

Yeah.. that pretty much describes working on set. Must have been his first time.

Every time the phrase "homophobic slur" comes up in this context, I immediately want to slap the fark out of the person whining about it. I'd be willing to bet money someone said "fag," and people who aren't grasping for a justification for their butthurt understand there's a version of that word that has nothing to do with gay people, and everything to do with someone you think is a total doucher.

" sex, drugs, homophobic remarks and even knife-throwing"

Kewl!

Circle Gherkin: Odds of a cash-grab lawsuit are high

Apparently so are the cast and crew.

Nothing set off my bullshiat meter, but mostly because I know what it's like to be an extra on film and tv sets, and I know what it's like to be a theater kid. I think you're full of BS to say this stuff is not happening.

That said, anyone who works in performance arts of any sort know that they should expect a lot of unethical awesomeness to happen. lawsuits will not rein in the art community. And you have to do some pretty nasty shiat to be actually shunned and booted off of a job. usually you either need to be repugnant instead of supportive. Or else you need to fark up on set or props and have a tree fall on the lead actor or something.

This lawsuit sounds pointless.

Ball of Confusion: this thread needs more jennifer morrison.

Heresy!

This thread needs more Lisa Edelstein!

@bighairyguy: That's the worst kind of lupus

Trolling? In my House episodes?

Well, I think it's pretty likely, since that's what House does...

Alpine hat.

Why does this stupid term keep coming up? People that have something against homosexuals aren't AFRAID of them, they just don't like them for whatever reason. Call them intolerant or bigoted if you have to but not afraid.

Especially from that POV....

baka-san: Considering that Stephen Fry is gay...

only the bottom half

Jay Dee: @bighairyguy: That's the worst kind of lupus

The best kind must be Bane-esque, then.

Honestly though, some of the bears scare me.

I fear what I do not understand. I can appreciate the male form and admire many qualities of a man. I just don't have any desire to be intimate with one, and I don't understand that desire. So, sure, I guess I'm afraid. And maybe I'm gay.

Words don't always have to mean exactly what their roots mean.
