Hecklevision Gives Movie Audiences Room to Ridiculenew
Usually designated for things like Dane Cook doing standup comedy, Rick Santorum speechifying at liberal universities, and LeBron James hitting the court in Cleveland, heckling is a lost art that can still make a strong statement if said squawker are quick-witted and unafraid to humiliate themselves in the spirit of mean-spirited entertainment.
