| Drunken Hollyweirdo Arrested for Lobster Liberation |
| 2004-09-17 |
| (Groan!) SOME people get arrested for a cause — Edward Furlong just got busted for some claws. The "Terminator 2" actor was locked up Wednesday night in northern Kentucky for "alcohol intoxication in a public place" after he tried to liberate a group of lobsters from a local grocery store's fish tank. Furlong, a longtime animal-rights supporter who once refused to wear leather in a Calvin Klein ad, pulled the crustacean caper with friends at Meijer grocery store in Florence, Ky., according to a police report. "The above and his friends were taking lobsters out of the tanks, when they were asked not to, they began to argue with management," reads the report. When cops tried to frisk Furlong, "He put his arms above his head and started spinning around," an eyewitness tattled to PAGE SIX's Lisa Marsh. Furlong is on location for the filming of a movie called "Jimmy & Judy," by first-time directors Jon Schroder and Randall Rubin. Schroder bailed Furlong out of jail after only three hours behind bars, and the actor was back on the movie's set yesterday. His reps did not return calls. *snipped for copyright (NYP is very touchy) Our activist elite in action. |

| #16 Furlong, a longtime animal-rights supporter who once refused to wear leather in a Calvin Klein ad, pulled the crustacean caper with friends at Meijer grocery store in Florence, Ky., according to a police report. Why is it that a lot of "animal-rights supporters" are losers? |

| #15 I just remembered that when Burt Blyleven was a pitcher for the Angels, he bought a live lobster on a road trip to Boston, and was leading it around on a leash. He named it "Sparky" |

| #14 Mike, I didn't see Larry The Lobster but didn't it end up where somebody made a claim that black people don't like lobster so Eddie Murphy cooked him and ate him just to prove them wrong? And who could forget Homer Simpson's pet lobster, Pinchy? |

| #13 If this idiot was serious he could put his money where his mouth is and A) bought the lobsters and B) had them air shipped to Maine and C) released them the ocean. What a dip sh*t. |

| #11 Paris Hilton's ex (and who hasn't been) ... I haven't been, and can one of you do an introduction so as to correct this glaring oversight? |

#10 Those of a certain age will recall fondly the legendary Saturday Night Live Larry the Lobster phone-in poll:You want to save Larry the Lobster dial 1-900-720-1808. If you want to kill him dial 1-900-720-1809. Now unless you call in to save him, we're going to boil Larry's little butt right here on national television. Now you call in. The phone company is going to charge you fifty cents, but isn't it worth fifth cents to save Larry's life? Or look at it this way: Isn't it worth half a buck to see us boil Larry on TV? |

| #9 He was the young John Conners in T2, and he was in Detroit Rock City. He's not a bad actor as long as he stays within his narrow range. They considered him for T3 but the insurance company wouldn't insure him because of his drug problem. He was the up and coming new stud actor and he pissed the whole thing away because he had no brains. |

| #8 The kid was "discovered" by a casting agent in some video arcade, as I recall, and then cast as the young John Connors in "Terminator 2". Nothing but pure dumb luck got him into show business. Lack of talent and pure stupidity will get him out of it. |

| #7 Paris Hilton's ex (and who hasn't been) and the kid in Terminator 2. So this makes him, what, an E List celeb? County fairs? Supermarket openings? Making movies in Kentucky for unknown first time directors? That kind of "star"? I really have to update my Useless People files... |

| #5 "It's what, 600 miles, to the nearest ocean?" >c'mon AC, you know better then to bring logic into this discourse about altruistic actors - it's all in the emotion bro. This is just another case of some dumbshit actor making an ass out of himself in a public place....par for the course. As we used to say down at Parris Island - this guy just needs to get dealt with. (i.e. beaten the fuck up.) |

| #3 Did he try to release them in the woods so they could be On a personal note... who's Edward Furlong? |

| #2 It's what, 600 miles, to the nearest ocean? I wonder what Furlong thought the critters would do once they were loose? It doesn't matter to him, they would have been "free"----free lunch for the stray cats of the community that is. |

| #1 I am soo inspired by Furlong's brave and selfless act of liberation that tonight I am gonna celebrate by having some lobster bisque and seafood salad. Thanks for reminding me, Ed! |
