I also can’t help that Bristol gives another performance worthy of the CW hit The Secret Life of the American Thespian , and that The Situation utters, “You’ve got to think before you get yourself into a Situation.” That’s just the beginning. Wait until he puts the “abs” in “abstinence.” This is real.

There Are No Small Parts: Unemployed Actors Now Cleaning Bedbug-Infested Apartments

At this point, if you live in New York and don’t have bedbugs, you’re pretty much unique. Considering the entire city is overrun by these disgusting creatures, it goes to reason that a job market would spring forth from their grotesque existence.
