Getting 'Real' with Ben Affleck

He is sooo in touch with the world

So I was watching Real Time with Bill Maher earlier this evening, and one of the guests on the panel was Ben Affleck. "Interesting choice", I thought. With his goofy grin, squinty eyes, and "Look at me; I'm intellectually deep" beard, I was just waiting for someone to lean over and punch him in his silly face.

During a discussion concerning Christianity, Bill Maher basically states that his opinion of many American Christians is that they have a "mental block", are stubborn and ignorant because of their religion, and that they're basically stupid. Ben finds this offensive, (given) understandably, and attempts to refute. Bill says that he saw the results of a poll telling that 45% of Americans believe the Bible in a strictly literal translation... he says how can a person who believes that the planet is merely 5000 years old, and that a man named Jonah lived in the belly of the whale for 200 years not be considered stupid? Ben's answer to this is... "Aaah! None of those people really believe that!" (Paraphrased).

I'm glad that the man who lives in a fucking dream world where dogs only drink bottled water imported from melted ice caps found within the springs of the swiss alps; where under shirts cost no less than $200; and where people tell you that even your bowels are pretty... knows so well the American public. Sorry to burst your bubble, Ben... but there are indeed people in existence that believe such things--Hell, I've dated at least 3 of them, and rolled my eyes at countless more. Sue me, but I just can't see a Hollywood celebrity understanding the mentalities of the suburban U.S. citizen... or anyone who doesn't eat off of platinum-lined china, for that matter. When you actually live in a neighborhood where your neighbors are close enough in proximity to shove their religious ideals in your face then you can make the attempt to sound informed as to the visions of the public.... then you can form a substantial opinion and try your best to represent a chunk of that public--You flipping douche bag.

I'll end this post appropriately--in the same manner as 'Real Time'.

New rule: Celebrities (especially those who star in films like Reindeer Games) who have their heads shoved up their perfumed asses are no longer allowed to pretend they understand, or egotistically speak on behalf of, the general population.

The penalty? Death... Or a starring role in 'Reindeer Games: Rudolph's Revenge'... which is really just one and the same .



Oh, you are such the bag of douche.
