Leukemia. Animal cruelty. Child abuse. War. Birth defects. What do these misfortunes have in common? They are all part of the reality that will never be shown on "reality" television. They're also all funnier than Theo Von, one in a long line of assholes to grace the small screen as a reality-show personality. While most of us have little control over the aforementioned tragedies, we can do something about Von. Help end his 15 minutes by not going Friday or Saturday to Hyena's, 605 Houston St. in Fort Worth. Please, don't call 817-877-5233 or visit hyenascomedynightclub.com for tickets or showtimes. Or do. Whatever.
