LA Lakers Anthony Davis traded to Portlandia
Anthony Davis traded to Portland-ia! Or, did AD just take advice from Candace Devereaux and Toni Rose, proprietors of the feminist bookstore in Portlandia?
Turns out Candace and Toni know a thing a bout basketball and AD agrees! Like, go out of bounds and pretend to go home and then like, come back in the game and dunk it! Or something...
Candace and Toni got canceled by the actual feminist bookstore they used for the set, so that says it all! NPR explains (of course):
"In the TV comedy version of Portland, Ore., the bookstore is called Women and Women First. In real life, it's In Other Words — and the shop is using frank terms to say the Portlandia show is no longer welcome to film there. The feminist store and community center faults the show's depiction of men dressing as women, its treatment of store staff, and its role in gentrification and race relations.
The staff of In Other Words made those claims in a blog post that shares its title with a sign that was placed in its window when the store's relationship with the show soured. The title is straightforward: "F*** Portlandia" (asterisks ours).
The store's staff says that by featuring Portlandia co-star Fred Armisen in a wig and a dress as Candace, one of the owners of Women and Women First, the show "throws trans femmes under the bus by holding up their gender presentation for mockery and ridicule."
On TV, the bookstore is portrayed as a home for strident advocacy and outrage. In its blog post, the staff of In Other Words depicts the IFC comedy as "diametrically opposed to our politics and the vision of society we're organizing to realize."
