If I could stand up mean for all the things that I believe.”

Just because.
If this doesn’t make you well up then you have no soul.* This was his last episode, two weeks before 9/11.
* This guy cared more about people’s kids than many parents did about their own kids.
* As far as getting people ready for the real world, this WORKED. (I could go on at length about how all the usual patriarchal babysitting constructs from kindergarten through bachelor’s degrees DON’T WORK anymore) Boy, how good it would be if someone new stepped up to the plate to continue this work.
Damn you soup & brianvan!

I’ve always been a sucker for a good film montage. Sigur Ros playing in the background is just the cherry on top.
I know I’m slow on the fucking uptake on this one, but this episode of Intervention just FUCKING BLEW MY GOD DAMN MIND. Holy shit. It’s my favorite show, but I never even imagined there would be one like this.
Her name is Allison, and in addition to anorexia and self-mutilation, she suffers from a huffing addiction of gargantuan proportions, sucking on dust remover like it’s a baby bottle (she puts away 8 to 10 of them a day). This is Part 1, the rest are on Youtube.
Watch it. Now.
That was the most disturbing episode of Intervention that I’ve ever seen. I read on Jezebel that her cats are in foster care, and that she is no longer involved with the sugar daddy.
But yeah, that was crazy. Every time she took a hit of that crap I had to look away. It was just so disturbing.
