HBO's In Treatment-n-Park Slope

FIPS reader Chris sent in this great little missive on HBO's series In Treatment and how it relates to Park Slope. Read on and get yourselves ed-u-ma-cated.

On HBO's In Treatment, the main character, Paul Weston (or as I like to call him, Paul Treatment, the titular character on In Treatment) moved to Park Slope at the beginning of Season 2 after getting divorced from the evil lady from the second season of True Blood and leaving Baltimore (Arlington, not the part where The Wire was set) at the end of Season 1. Finally, finally in the 14th episode of Season 3, we discover where he lives and works: 229 Garfield Place in Park Slope, an avenue and a half from Prospect Park.

Bored To Death, That Stolen Sugar Dog, and Why I Heart Jonathan Ames

Okay, I lurve him. I want to sip tea and play like dogs in the surf with him. He's really not my type and I AM married but I am hawt for Jonathan Ames. His mind, anyway.

WWYD?

So we've got "Who Gives A Shit?" and ABC News has "What Would You Do." Basically, they hire actors, make sure some scary/sad/freaky shit goes down like send a child predator into a playground or have some creepy dude drug a chick's drink, and they keep the cameras rolling as billions of disinterested Americans do absolutely nothing.

Last week, these WWYD peeps showed their ass up to Ozzie's to conduct a "What Would You Do" experiment with a bitchy mom yelling at her nanny and then the bitchy mom's kid, bitchy daughter. The mom was being abusive and acting like a cunt rag, and surprise surprise, the liberal, Food Coop workin, organic food eatin Park Slopers spoke up! Then they switched gears and the little kid started acting like a ho bag to the nanny, and yet again, Park Slope came to the rescue.

So, WHAT WOULD YOU DO???
