Consider: Pee-wee Herman's Melissa Leo-Inspired Emmy Campaign
Remember that two week period in February when everyone cared about Melissa Leo's gaudy and self-promoting For Your Consideration ads? It seems that Pee-wee Herman sure does! To get Emmy voters to -- ahem -- consider the HBO special broadcast of Herman's Broadway show, Pee-wee went to Photoshop to create a familiar look. Click through for the consideration.
The shoes are a nice touch.

It is a well settled principle of politics and show business that you know you have become famous when people make you the target of their satire. Melissa Leo was satirized on Saturday Night Live by Kristin Wiig. She is now being satirized by Pee Wee Herman. CONGRATULATIONS MELISSA! YOU ARE FAMOUS! You will become more famous with each passing day. If Kristin Wiig invites you to accomany her into a dartk theater to watch a movie, feel free to go. However, if Pee Wee Herman invites you to accompany him into a dark theater to watch a movie, call Kirk Douglas and ask if you can borrow his cane!
Priceless. I would pay to see Melissa Leo's reaction to this.
Maybe someone should tell Jimmy Kimmel that he shouldn’t lead with his cleavage. Or Pee Wee to stay away from faux fur. But, then, a lot of people told Melissa Leo — after the fact — that she shouldn’t pay for her own “Consider…” ads. And then she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for The Fighter
