How many of you suffered from Leelee Sobieki's unspeakable act...?
It was after 9-11 and Jay Leno had been interviewing her on the Tonight Show, when suddenly she committed one of the most offensive acts I've ever witnessed on television! She read this poem;
~This Day And All The Rest~
One day.
One.
More than another.
The other,
that day,
those people,
too many,
too personal,
but not.
People you know know,
but you yourself know not.
Crashing down,
all frown,
hurting,
walking,
silently screaming,
slowly running,
often feeling nothing.
Seeing the lucky ones fleeing,
seeing those trapped inside.
Cry.
Cry.
It's OK.
It's not OK.
Smile if it's natural
Feel alive.
The president speaks,
The situation reeks an act of war.
I enter my room, close the door
Sit here.
Here where buildings do not fall to the floor.
we young will experience much more
future, liberty, the freedom to mope about in poetry.
My brother I love you.
Old friends and family too.
Safe for now glad to know I'm alive with all of you.
Feel what is real feel later heal.
One.
One person feeling the same as all the rest.
Please let us act and do what is best.
Mind you, this was read by her completely straight faced. With only momentary poignant pauses in which she subjected Jay and the audience to her somber stare as if to punctuate every line.
Yes, It's been 8 years, but the trauma I suffered from being subjugated to this trite attempt at a contrived commiseration, has left me depressed and at times even suicidal when I uncontrollable reflect back to that fateful day.
Would I still be able to bring a lawsuit against Leelee Sobieki and the Tonight Show for mental anguish and emotional trauma?

It might be better just to seek counseling, there's so much good writing that happened don't focus on just the bad; which there was more of.

First, do you mean Leelee Sobieski? Second, do you honestly think anyone believes you are serious? Third, who even would remember what was on tv 8 years ago? Fourth, there is probably a statute of limitation preventing you from filing a lawsuit at this late date.
Good try though.
