Julia Louis-Dreyfus Faces The #Pornocalypse
Since I didn’t ever watch Friends back in the day, I really didn’t know who Julia Louis-Dreyfus even was until a fake-nude of her turned up (doubly-mislabeled) during the great frenzy to find nude photos of Sarah Palin after Palin became John McCain’s running mate back in 2008. But Louis-Dreyfus is indisputably a pretty big celebrity. And now she’s been banned from FaceBook for posting her own baby picture. In her own words:
BAN BAN BAN! No, no, no, insensitive material, inappropriate, blah, bla-bla blah blah, and I’m like “what?” And I keep trying to get in, change my password, absolutely not, they think I’m some sort of pervert, posting baby pictures, naked baby pictures. It’s me!
Here she’s telling David Letterman all about it. The baby picture is in the clip, but I’m gonna let Worldwide Pants and YouTube do the heavy lifting of showing it to you, they’ve got a lot more lawyers than I do:
I tell you what, if the #pornocalypse can sweep up Julia Louis-Dreyfus, there ain’t nobody safe. Automatic censorship by stupid robots, I tell you it’s the wave of the future!

“Since I didn’t ever watch Friends back in the day, I really didn’t know who Julia Louis-Dreyfus was…”
[Golf clap]
I am afraid I don’t understand the apparent sardonicism. Huh?
JLD was on Seinfeld
@Bacchus: She was on Seinfeld, not Friends. Obviously, you didn’t watch that either. Not a big TV fan myself.
Well, there you go. I’m not sure I could tell you which of those sitcoms I never watched was which while it was playing in front of me, to be honest.
Don’t feel bad. I never watched them either, but just from being immersed in our pop culture internet society, one day I realized that I not only knew the names of the 6 characters on “Friends”, I also knew the actors who played them. It was a sad day.
I don’t deliberately avoid pop culture, but I’ve never been a fan of laugh-track sitcoms, and for many years I never watched them at all. I *also* don’t pay much attention to popular culture on the internet, unless it’s erotic culture. So the result is a deep ignorance about cultural icons most people think are universally known.
