I had no problem with that, in fact I support good comedy. However, my gripe with the Big Bang Theory (CBS) was "Paris Hilton" impersonator Kaley Cuoco's attitude and behaviour at the 2009 Comic Con. The stunt she pulled "Flirting with the fan" This was an attempt to give reassurance to her hardcore male fan base, that she had no interest in nerds or geeks. Kaley Cuoco cannot have her cake and eat it. It is obvious that she will feel more in her comfort zone working with the likes of Nick Carter or Russell Brand. I had been the shows biggest supporter up to that point. I was naive to have believed Bill Prady's press statements that the premise of The Big Bang Theory (CBS) was to celebrate nerds and not to mock them. It became apparent to me, that Prady's statements were based on studio spin. It is common knowledge that when launching or promoting a brand, most public relation experts will advise you to be cautious not to contradict your brand, as you will leave yourself wide open to public scrutiny and ridicule. Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady the grand old dukes of spin. It will sooner or later become apparent to CBS, Warner Bros and Chuck Lorre Productions, that spin is only effective up to a certain point, depending on who your target audiences are. Sophisticated audiences can smell a rotten egg from a far distance.

Please view my video, Chaim Paddaman: If Pigs could Fly, hollywood would be an Airport. It is part of the Chaim Paddaman supports the Big Bang Theory on CBS. Peyronnes Disease holds dire consequenses for an industry where payment in kind is made in doodle. Horny David Letterman is in a position to validate this Big Bang Theory. The shit hits the fan. Disaster strikes on the casting couch. This is comedy of outrageous porportions. Give it a go. Like Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, I also have an over-riding, overwhelming urge to write about funny things. Chaim Paddaman Jewish Nerd Shalom
