David Copley’s fabulous endowment
In today’s you must be joking news comes this from Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood blog:
An unprecedented gift of $6 million from newspaper publisher and philanthropist David C. Copley will endow a chair and an innovative new center for costume design at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television (TFT)….
The establishment of the Copley Center for the Study Costume Design will break new ground in academia and help secure the school’s future preeminence in this artistic endeavor.
I’m speechless. Are you speechless? Yes, that David Copley as in publisher of the Union-Tribune. So… let’s let “Jeffrey,” who commented on Finke’s post, have a say. Take it away, Jeff:
Mr. Copley may not be contributing to a cure for cancer, world peace or ending homelessness, but as a result of his generosity, many more people than before will now look fabulous — and know why!
What about the boatload of bills that his dead mommy willed him? Wasn’t that his excuse for the spate of layoffs? Nice to have $6 million in walking around money while your newspaper and scads of former and present employees suffer.
Since fat people no longer need hide behind dark colors, I’d like to see what costume Copley would choose to wear. Next Halloween he should go to the annual Foxhole ball dressed as a jagoff.
Hit him hard, hit him fast and keep on hitting him! Great work, Kelly!
That’s two fat jokes on the blog this week. What’s with all the hate, people?
Piggish behavior gets what piggish behavior gives.
