Reality Show Offers Pour in for Steven Slater [Jet Blue Drama Queen]

Steven Slater, the flight attendant who slid from an airplane to fame last week, now employs the services of one of Hollywood's top public relations representatives.

Howard Bragman, Chairman of media and public relations agency Fifteen Minutes, confirmed to CNN that he is now representing Slater and will help him assess offers to appear in proposed television programs inspired by Slater's dramatic exit from a JetBlue plane at New York's Kennedy Airport after he cursed a passenger over the public address system and deployed the emergency slide.

"There are probably 25 reality show offers on the table at this point," said Bragman. "There are dozens of e-mails and offers to this guy."

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown charged Mr. Slater with reckless endangerment and criminal mischief, felonies that could land him in prison for as much as seven years.

"The first job is to get through the criminal charges," said Mr. Bragman, adding that he would handle Slater's publicity judiciously. "It's got to be done in a dignified way; it's got to respect the criminal charges and it's got to deal with the realities of what's going on."

Let's get that pesky criminal stuff out of the way, so we can get on with the entertainment already: the ultimate in cynicism.

I know people are sick of this story and this guy, but I have yet to see much, if any, concern for the serious breach of homeland security involved. And here we are, approaching the 9th anniversary of 9/11.

They’ll be a whole chapter on this and Levi’s show in the future book, “The Fall of American Civilization”.

15 minutes, starting right now. Btw, whatever happened to Joe the Plumber? Joe did have a little substance though.

Joe the Plumber was about something a lot more important than some screeching bitch going on about rudeness on planes.

LOL! I cancelled TV a year ago because it is 24x7x365 O propaganda or dumb white guy commercials or TV shows every second.

I think this Slater guy will get his 10 minutes but he looks so flaming that he may creep too many people out like that Adam singer kid.

[DemonDeac]

Some fat drunken queer shows himself to be an awful employee and a bad human being and people fawn all over him. Amazing.

[bigbob]

Proof we are living in the End Times.

I’ve been watching only DVDs—no regular TV, cable or satellite—for about 13 years now, and don’t regret it for one second. The dumb white guy stuff was terribly grating, but what pushed me to make the change was after watching some show I realized I couldn’t even recall the last episode’s contents—I was just wasting my time. And that includes “good” and “educational” TV—life’s too freakin short.

He’s the Jet Blue Drama-Queen Queen.

Missed a “queen” there.....

[HerrBlucher]

Yes, I think one of the visions in Revelations was of a Jet Blue Drama Queen.

[La Lydia]

I think the entire tale is deliciously funny.

[BWDog]

It’s just so...fabulous. /s

It is fab, isn’t it? Sort of takes you away from all your everyday cares and woes, to a place in the far, far distance ... where anything and everything is possible ... up, up and away... get two beers and jump.

>>> but I have yet to see much, if any, concern for the serious breach of homeland security involved.

Calling this incident a breach of homeland security on a thread describing the guy as a drama queen is rather ironic.

is a bundler for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign.
