    Fahrenheit LCS 2: More On Reality TV's Shady Editing Practices

    fahrenheit-lcs2.jpgComedian Sharon Houston was a little put off by her experience on Last Comic Standing 2, so she put together a video presentation about the show called Fahrenheit LCS 2 and presented it at a comedy showcase at M Bar.

(Gasp! Fake laughter on TV!)

OK, that's some more unfair editing. Mohr was never funny.
