Save Screech! Dustin Diamond Pulling a Paris Hilton Publicity Stunt

Former “Saved by the Bell” character Screech played by Dustin Diamond is broke! So broke that he has foreclosed on his house and had tried to raise money by selling T-shirts which read “I paid $15.00 to save Screech’s house”.
That’s not all, according to Newsday (hat-tip to Optic Zipper Pictures) an entertainment agent acquired the rights to the video which had Diamond in a ménage a trios with two women. The article goes on to say even though most of the details of the tape are kept under raps, the word is that some “bodily functions” and the “Dirty Sanchez” are featured.
Why is this worth talking about?
Because the kid was rich! He was a child star on a highly popular TV show which is now syndicated all over the world in almost every conceivable language. Because the kid was an icon for geekness and we all knew who Screech was.
Because this is a sign of the times! If you have any bit of fame and feel you’re career is heading down the path of Gary Coleman, just call up your agent and let him know you’ve blown all your money and you now have to pull a Dirty Sanchez for the public.
Seriously, growing up around the entertainment business I know that actors spend most of their time hanging around their trailers waiting for the crew to get the lighting and camera angles right. You would think in this downtime they would be forced to learn another skill other then reading lines off of a script that other people wrote for them. Link to part of video.

Man, that David Hans Schmidt is a real shit stain on the underwear of humanity. What’s with the “wink” at the end when discussing “real” life?
I fear that this is not the last of these ridiculous tapes.

Hah! They changed the footage. When I first saw it, it was of Diamond in his new video.

He was the only one I loved in “Saved by the Bell”. Not even the girls could raise my interest in the series. Sorry to hear this!
