CASTING CALLS
Mimes Against Herpes
The New York City Health Department has put out a casting call for a new abstinence campaign--and they're looking for a few good mimes to spread the message against having sex. Perhaps prompted by recent news that one in four New Yorkers carry the herpes virus, the Department of Health has taken a decidedly "hands off" approach to sex in the city. Don't do it. And if you can't mime not doing it, forget about it. Or, as the call puts it: "If you do not have professional Mime experience DO NOT WASTE OUR TIME OR YOURS!" For now, one can only imagine the campaign itself. Will Marcel Marceau-trained mimes masturbate invisible genitals so as to teach us that the only kind of safe sex is one in which nobody touches? Whatever the case, the results are sure to be nonexistent. Full casting details below:

Where are they going to find 10-14 year old professional mimes?

at least any professional mimes between 10 and 14 that they find will be well prepared to express a message of abstinence. i am curious to see how a mime portrays herpes though....
