No kidding, please; Part II

In a NYPost article Shia Laboeuf (the kid who starred in the movie on the second season of Project Greenlight and who is currently flogging “Transformers”) tells how he launched his showbiz career, getting “big laughs at age 10 doing X-rated stand-up at L.A. comedy clubs.”

“It was just really disgusting, dirty jokes. I had to win over drunks so I couldn’t get up there and talk about 10-year-old stuff like my first kiss. So I got up there and talked about” his first sexual climax, LaBeouf tells Hollywood Life.

Is there any context within which a 10 year-old boy talking about his first orgasm is anything less than majorly creepy? (Perhaps… maybe two– in a physician’s examination room, or in a courtroom, testifying via video.) We pity the comics who had to follow that.

Labeouf’s Wikipedia bio says he’s…

…the only child of Jeffrey Craig LaBeouf, a Vietnam War veteran, former mime at a circus and rodeo clown who “drifted” from job to job, and Shayna (Saide), a dancer and ballerina turned visual artist and jewelry designer; his maternal grandfather, who shared his first name, was a comedian who worked in the Borscht Belt of the Catskill Mountains, and his paternal grandmother was a Beatnik poet.

This is his early life and he hadda talk about nocturnal emissions?
