The Blue Man Group has issued a statement on the arrest of one of its alleged members last night for performing a public sex act. According to the Blue Man Group, via a press release:
Published reports today inaccurately identified a man named Darren Stephens who was arrested in Chicago as a "Blue Man Group actor."Okay, so this clears that up. But this begs the question: just how the hell did this allegation come up? Did Stephens simply claim to work for the group or was he actually wearing blue paint when he was arrested.
No individual by the name of Darren Stephens has ever been employed by Blue Man Group as a performer or in any other capacity.

I think Tobias Fünke may have the same confusion on many levels.
I think the cops misunderstood him when he told them what he was doing.
Please, please, please tell me he was painted blue with a white hat and white pants.
"i think i just blue myself"
Sorry to be a crank, but I would love it if we could please stop using "begs the question" when we mean "raises the question". Begging the question is a logical fallacy of circular argument.
Thanks.
This begs the question of why this bothers you so.
Raises questions about Pencil.
Grammar nerds seldom contribute anything of substance.
Odd reply from someone who often praises books and literature, and likes to name drop authors and reference their ideas.
Words matter, even on blogs. Grammar matters, too, despite the people out there who apparently consider word order and structure to be mere trivia best left behind in high-school English courses. Our language is in the process of being dumbed down as we move to ever more visual, and superficial, forms of expression. "Grammar nerds" are fighting an important (if, perhaps, losing) battle, and pencil makes a good point.
I'm the OTHER ACTOR in Chicago named DARREN STEPHENS!
He's 45, I'm 49, I've performed most recently in Best Church of God at Second City, he did nude roles in gay plays for years (not that there's anything wrong with that) and I did not. I'm a voiceover actor (darrensvoice.com) who has performed hundreds of radio and television commercials for the last fifteen years, and now I'm scrambling to let the entire advertising community know that I'm NOT the guy who has been arrested for allegedly having public sex with an assistant principal on the lake shore!
I've always thought it was fun to have a name like the guy on "Bewitched," but this is driving me crazy right now. It's an interesting experiment in the nature of fame and the internet. But, damn!
