Ellen's Dog

WTF? I, of course, did not see Ellen's display of whatever emotion on TV ... but since I suspect the agency's staunch upholding of the contract was tied in to Ellen's celebrity (not to mention it being the only way it could have found out about the OMG transgretion of the century) ... it's only fair game that Ellen use her very bully pulpit to decry such a cold-hearted bureaucratic reaction, and hopefully force a reversal through public outcry and p.r. embarrassment.

No problem with her using the bully pulpit. It was that she essentially melted down on her show, sobbing and talking about how it was impossible to go on pretending to be funny when things were going so horribly wrong, blah blah blah.

You can watch it here. The emotion is honest, but I wonder what she'll do when something truly horrible (rather than just a big pain in the ass) happens.
