If you've been following along with the allegations of sexual harassment and general depravity at The Box—the nightclub where guests pay over $1,000 so that performers like transvestite Miss Rose Wood can pull a Jameson's bottle out of his ass, take a swig and then spit on them—you may be interested in NY Mag's lengthy profile on owner Simon Hammerstein, "The Impresario of Smut." He strongly denies the most scandalous accusations, but unnamed sources say auditions for Simon sometimes climax back at his apartment. Miss Rose Wood has perhaps the best Hammerstein horror story: "Then Simon said to me, ‘So, can you pull a string of Christmas lights out of your ass?’ I said to him, ‘Well, you know, I’m Jewish. And so before the Christmas lights come out, I’ve got to dislodge the menorah.’" That's professionalism, people!

I just read the article. Golly, it all sounds so dreadfully boring. "Look at us behaving naughtily. My, aren't we sophisticated."
About as interesting as watching someone pull a bottle out of their ass. A little bit of Tijuana in NYC. This place is LAME.
<sarcasm>"wow the box sounds so cool! i bet they even have girls kissing each other!!"</sarcasm>
The Box = Lame

That's disgusting. Jameson's is swill. They should use Old Bushmill's instead.
It was an odd news, we should respect privacy of other people like for instance this news ...

People find these antics entertaining?
I just read the article. Disgusting, vomit-inducing live acts. Disgusting, vomit-inducing club owner. He is a total freak!!! Hopefully, one of the performers will bite his (alleged) dick off!!!
"The Aristocrats" is supposed to be a joke, not an actual act.
Paying to watch strangers pull things out of their ass? Only in America. No wonder foreigners are lining-up to kill us.
Bored folks with money that have no lives basically.
I think the Christmas tree lights is a bit too much considering the performer is not Christian. What next are they going to crucify some innocent preacher this weekend?
i have been to the box once and the show was incredible. didn't see the bottle act or christmas lights, but saw some other amazing things. it was a blast and i left thinking why arent there more places like this in nyc?
#9- Not just in America.
Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, Russia...
When you think about it, most people pull their Christmas out of their ass, so why pay extra?
