David Pakman is speaking out against a
documentary which names him as a LGBT teen who was bullied to death.
The 45-minute film, titled Minnesota
Nice?, was released last October by Alec Fischer. Its
description reads: “The documentary Minnesota Nice? was
created by 18 year old Alec Fischer, who made the film his senior
year in high school. The film highlights the problem Minnesota has
been having with student suicides and bullying in schools, and brings
attention to how school administrations and the State Government have
been ignoring the problem despite cries for help from students and
faculty. In the film, real students from across Minnesota share
their real stories of how they were bullied and harassed relentlessly
in school, many to the point of attempting suicide.”
“This is the weirdest thing,”
Pakman, the host of The David Pakman Show, said in a
YouTube.com video. “There's a point in the beginning of the movie
where it goes through gay teens who committed suicide. And somehow
my picture is in there. A picture of me from when I'm like 22 years
old, or something like that.”
“What the hell is going on around
here,” he continued. “I'm obviously not a teen, the picture is
from when I was 20-something, I'm not gay, I wasn't bullied … I'm
alive!” (The video is embedded on this page. Visit
