More lip

Well...

I watched Otto & George's performance on Letterman. Pretty distasteful, I thought. And as it did others, it bothered me that he twirled the dummy around so haphazardly showing the cavity in the back. It's hard to describe why it bothers me, but he seems to be disdainful of the art. Otto's schtick is showing disrespect to decorum and ventriloquist traditions for the sake of cheap laughs.

"Shock" entertainers are more common, so it shouldn't be a surprise that sooner or later we'd have a "shock" ventriloquist.
