Maybe something on SNL. Or a John Stewart rift. After wave after wave of stuff they said they were going to do to help mitigate any damage to students, I expected them to say: "...and Dr Phil and Oprah will seperately will be on 24/7 call for personal counseling and griefing for each student, past, present, future, and those whoe intended to attend a lecture, but didn't get around to it, plus we are buying condos in Hawaii for all students so that they can grieve in dignity and uplifting surroundings, and a hi-def video of Eli thrashing himself with boughs of thorns on a 48-hour purification vigil, plus .... Possibly, it might be a good thing, if they were more "authentic": "Eli and Gangaji will make a public statement once Eli gets out of the hospital from the huge gash on his head from the cut crystal vase gangaji threw at him, and from the internal bleeding from the shit-kicking she gave him. For now, they offer the following thoughts: "Frankly, this is a personal matter between Eli and myselfe. Get a life people. We are ordinary people. You are ordinary people. Ordinary middle age people lust after hot chicks and guys in their nubile 20's. WAKE-UP! Thats the inner truth. Its a fact of life, a fact of the Universe. Its Real. Get Real. Be Real. What do you expect when on the road lecturing, or at our centers, when adoring gorgeous fans throw themselves at you. Its one of the hazards / perks of being a new-age guru type. I have been tempted -- and have been human enough to act the feelings, not keeping them bottled up. Eli did the same. Its OUR business, not yours. If you feel betrayed, do some deep breathing -- it will pass. Wake up to Life. Celebrate Life. We do."
