Stretching 15 Minutes of Fame Over 15 Years


How long could one possibly stretch out their fifteen minutes of fame? Amy Fisher and her equally messed up crew have been trying to hang on to their so-called fame for the past fifteen years.


Here's an abridged timeline:


1992: Seventeen year old skank Amy Fisher makes headlines for shooting 36 year old Joey Buttafuoco's wife Mary Jo in the face. Through the myriad of press reports, we'd learn that the skank and the dirty old man were having a torrid love affair during which the skank would also work as prostitute for him. (she'd later deny the prostitution claim) In December of '92, Fisher is sentenced to 5-15 years in prison for her crime.


1993: Dirty Old Buttafuoco sentenced to four months for statutory rape. Fisher releases a book telling her side of the story. And the American public is inundated with Amy Fisher-made-for-TV-movies on every major broadcasting station.


1999: Fisher is released from prison without too much fanfare.


2004: Fisher releases another book. Apparently she didn't like that America was starting to forget her. This one is a look back on what she would have done differently.... Seriously? There's enough to write an entire book on this subject? I'll give you the Cliff's Notes: "I would have not fucked the old dude. I would not have sold my body to sexually deprived perverts. I would have not shot a woman in the face. The end."


2006: Amy, Joey, and Mary Jo reunite for a few drawn out and utterly uninteresting segments on Entertainment Tonight and The Insider. The Skank and Old Dirty B shamelessly go on to be featured at the year's Lingerie Bowl's coin toss.


May 2007: The NY Post reports the Skank and Old Dirty B are back together. They hold another shameless publicity stunt in Central Park via a disgusting display of affection for cameras. And a day later, there were rumors of a possible reality TV series staring the Long Island losers. Seeing that no one in America cared about either of them, their reunion was short lived and the reality TV series never came to fruition. Thank God!


And here we are today, with the NY Post's article stating that Amy's ex-husband is now the one trying to cash in on her so-called fame by selling a homemade sex tape of the two of them to the porn industry. Somewhere within the past 15 years, Old Dirty B also tried to break into the porn industry-- not having any interest whatsoever to see this guy naked, let alone having sex, I've never seen any of his work. Nor will I see this new video of the Skank and her ex, which by the way, Amy supposedly is against the video being publicized. Yeah right.


Amy, Joey, et. el, you're fifteen minutes of fame are up and regardless of how many times you try to get back into the limelight, the simple fact of the matter is that NO ONE CARES! Give it up.

I remember all the TV movies: His Side, Her Side, The Media's View. I remember thinking they all were so bad and I can't believe I watched them all! I really haven't thought about them in years. I'd like to keep it that way.
