"most of them were just harmless fun ..." the news reporter says as the "pranksters" emerge from BOXES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. This is neither harmless, nor fun.
I don't think it's shameful. But I think it was a miscalculation on her part. Why? Because look at the media reaction: "DID JODIE FOSTER COME OUT OF THE CLOSET LAST NIGHT, OR DIDN'T SHE?!" That's bs. Why not just be proud and be gay? All of this 'public/private' nonsense she was spewing holds little weight considering that SHE implicated this issue in the middle of a freaking acceptance speech. The fact that she was obtuse begs the question: why would she bring up the issue but not actually go as far to admit it?
I wrote this in a hurry and I made up my own word. "Perpetualized"! Ha! It's kinda like Spiritualized but not because it's a creation of my own mind and it is not a music artist.
I love all of you guys (and Kelly) for addressing this "speech" for what it really was: wacked out! All I could think the entire time is "ummm ... what the hell is she talking about?"
And to expand on eemar's comment: how about coming out much sooner? How about this? How about ACTUALLY COMING OUT?! What is all the bs? There are probably thousands and thousands of LGBT folks out there that were hanging on her words and hoping she'd just SAY IT. Sure, look, I get the whole privacy thing, but what about not being afraid to say what things are? Let's stop making it weird. But by NOT saying "I'm gay" it seemed like she perpetualized this notion that we should be embarrassed or reluctant about actuall coming out.
I'm about to post a comment and here it is (that's my nod to Perd Hapley):
I think the Grizzly Bear album came out too early in the year and, as a result, it doesn't get the credit it deserves. If it came out in November, I think it would be in everyone's top 10.
Can we talk about this a little more? Seriously, what was their gameplan here if someone HAD attacked the little girl?! It doesn't seem out of the realm of possiblity that one of these folks would fear for their life and - in typical fight or flight fashion - beat the hell out of this kid. Shit could have gone real wrong here.
Oh, never mind ... I guess that's what the laugh track is there for! HAHAHAHAHAHA deadly attacks on children as an inconvenient byproduct of an ill-conceived prank are hilarous after all!
You beat me to the punch. I wanted to ask everyone why we didn't all go see Wreck-It Ralph. My favorite movie of the year AND my 11-year old son's favorite movie of the year!
This is great, of course, but I DO have one problem with it: Krispy never says in the LYRICS that Mike Meyers was actually James. So if I'm listening on the radio how am I supposed to know what happens to our intrepid heroes? I would be forever wondering why he Meyers took off his mask in the first place.
I don't know guys. I just don't know.
Is there anything Gwynee CAN'T do? I mean seriously, look at the list: actor, artist, magazine writer, cook, perfect mother, fashion designer, singer/songwriter, political analyst, rapper, PRETENTIOUS MONSTER. She's my idol.
The more material he puts out there, I REALLY want to believe that's the case. I'm genuninely interested in what he's going to do next, and I'm not sure why. He even managed to pull off his appearance on Tosh.0. Stayed in character.
