Michael j. Fox uses Parkinson's disease as a Punch line

Larry David pushes the limits of comedy more than usual in an episode of the new season of "curb" your enthusiasm With the help of Michael j. Fox, who will play himself, the show fun in Parkinson's disease.

Fox, who lived with Parkinson's disease since 1991, said TV Guide that the episode had Larry David believing "I am being symptomatic just to annoy him - something all passive-aggressive." He complains because I am beat, making noise on the upper floor. "It is very funny."

This is not the first time Fox has resumed a role off the coast of symptoms of his Parkinson's disease. In "the Good wife," he played a lawyer who used its neurological disorders (late dyskinia) to influence the judge and jury.

His new role, however, may not raise but question: when it is OK to use Parkinson's disease as a punch line?

Showing the struggles of a character who lived with Parkinson's disease can raise awareness of the disease and reduce some of the stigma surrounding it. But does not – or hurt – people living with Parkinson's disease, when these symptoms, uncontrollable jerking movements of dyskinesia, becomes the butt of a TV joke? Parkinson's disease experts probably say that Yes.

"Long ago that humor can help those who suffer from chronic diseases is important to better cope with their disease, and any opportunity to increase awareness of Parkinson's disease among the general public", explains Dr. Cheryl Waters at the Neurological Institute at Columbia University Medical Center.

"Who best represent Parkinson is a humorous angle than a real actor with the disease." "I really hope that this does violate of patients with Parkinson's disease," she said.

Even if it is portrayed in a light "irreverent" on the show, the Dr. Joseph Jankovic, Director of the center of the Baylor College of Medicine Parkinson's disease, said the "benefits outweigh the negative."

"If this series can increase awareness about the disease and help identify individuals more with some of the symptoms that Mr. Fox poster - great!", he said.

Sharon Kha, of Tucson, Arizona, said that in some respects one Fox - or someone else with Parkinson's disease - could penetrate productive fun. Kha is not a doctor, but she has much experience using humor to cope with and teach to Parkinson's disease: it is a PD itself patient and for the past three years, he used raps educational (and often humorous) to help others to cope.

"It is never pleasant to sneer at people sick, but when we can fun ourselves, there to lessen the disease to a more manageable size," she said.

Meet Michael Bolton... actor?

 Michael Bolton can do a ballad boosts, sure. But who knew that he could make people laugh (intentionally)?

The sensation of 58 years singing all but stole the show on "Saturday Night Live" during the weekend, appearing in digital video short "Jack Sparrow" alongside the Lonely Island (the comic geniuses behind a part of the male genitalia is taboo here "in a box" and "I'm on a boat").


When the Lonely Island tries to record a rap club anthem, Bolton breaks, crooner a "Pirates of Caribbean" - choir inspired on a beach, arms open wide: "it is the story of Captain Jack Sparrow/Pirate so brave/on the seas".


When the crew of the Lonely Island ravaged tribute of "Pirates" in Bolton, he strings of characters from other movies hit, including "forrest gump", "scarface" and "Erin Brockovich". (It makes more sense when you watch the video).


The video was a coup for Bolton, which is the 21st studio album, "Gems ?? The Duets Collection", comes out next month. It is also a coup for the "Pirates" franchise, whose fourth episode comes out may 20.


Bolton fans saw before singer comic chops. In 2010, he made fun of himself on "Jimmy kimmel Live!" with a sketch on Michael Bolton Michael Bolton school - a school where he teaches the children how croon like him.
