name ; anthony fawcette
occupation ; professional idiot

he is staring in the new bfpt video called 'happiness in ignorance'.. yes,
mr. anthony fawcette (who lives in canada incase you were wondering) was
judged by trent and crew to be 'the biggest idiot we could find.' so they
put him in the new video.

when being interviewed by lulling tone he had this to say 'i was over at
dunkin' donuts, and i guess i got a stale one because everything got fuzzy
and i tried to take a sip of my soda and the straw went up my nose,
through my nasal membrane and stuck into the front of my brain.  well as
you could guess i jerked up and the straw was still lodged in.  i looked
over at where chris [vrenna] was sitting and there was just a large pez
dispenser shaped like gomer pile!  well, let me tell you that is a
disturbing sight.  i jumped out of the seat and ran out the door screaming
'help me, oh jesus, eric estrada is trying to come out of my naval [cheesy
bloom county referrence there..].. i ran out into the street and the last
thing i can remember is seeing a bulldog.  i then woke up in the hospital
and chris was next to me.  he explained that i had gotten hit by a mac
truck and the straw had caused permanent brain damage.  well, that's when
i really started feeling like shit.  i grabbed the plastic thing of jell-o
next to my bed and tried to o.d. on it.  i ate and ate and ate, but no
luck... i couldn't kill myself.  so i got the idea for the song.  i asked
bob flannigan if he would be in the video, but he turned me down.  however
he suggested mr. fawcette to me, and let me tell you, he's a bigger idiot
than bob!  it's great.'

they aren't releasing any information about the video, however inside
sources say that it is going to have mr. fawcette in a corner in a room.
the camera will be positioned on a tri-pod directly in front of him.  for
30 days (and 30 nights) they will have time-lapse photography showing mr.
fawcette and how he behaves.  it is reported he jerked off 40 times and as
objects for stimuli he used a piece of balogna, the nine inch lead
zepplein trent had stuck in his ear, a lemming, twelve plastic sporks and
a latex glove (safe sex ya know..).  so there you have it, and don't
forget, you heard it here first!
