Like Money for Whores
12/22/03

Today, we revisit the subject of whores. We all know that Lou Ferrigno is a whore for money. But now there is a new whore in town and his name is The Cat in the Hat.

A few weeks ago, The Cat in the Hat movie came out in theaters. Sure, it was a disgrace to Dr. Seuss, the creator of The Cat in the Hat, the way they tarted it up Disney style and paraded it around for everyone to shell out the bucks to go see. But then the advertising frenzy began.

Everywhere you looked you saw The Cat in the Hat. I went to Burger King - Cat in the Hat. I took a drink of Pepsi - Cat in the Hat. I went to the drug store even - Cat in the motherfucking Hat. Where does it end? Well, here is a partial list of things that the Cat in the Hat has been seen advertising for:

And just in case you're still looking for last minute Christmas gift ideas, there are 42 different whores available from hollywoodiscalling.com. For a mere $19.95, you can have a "real celebrity" call your friends and wish them a merry Christmas. For an extra $10, you can have it customized. Among the "celebrities" that you can get are Kato Kaelin and...you guessed it, Lou Ferrigno. Oddly enough, $19.95 is the same as an autographed picture. I guess he really does do all his math in terms of pictures. Lou Ferigno, you've earned our 2003 Double Whore Award! Congratulations! If you were still famous, we're sure you still be milking it Cat in the Hat style!
