LOL - you tell 'em Scout!

Funny thing about trolls is that they love to crash parties where the cool kids hang out and yet, they never showed up w/an invitation in the first place!

We are ALL entitled to our opinions, dear troll, even you.

BUT...most of us are grown ups - therefore, we can have opinions w/out sounding like assholes. Nobody is forcing anyone to boycott Johnny Depp (who cares anyway?) but *if* they were - why can't you kindly disgaree and move on?

What a pathetic little life you must have.

Personally, I never cared for the greasy dude in the first place. His reaction in the video was just icing on the cake of shit that tells me he's not my type. Now, on the other hand, my mom is *in love* with the guy and has a framed poster of him IN HER HOUSE! (I know, I can't even believe we're related) But I can't wait to tell her what he said and see if she changes her tune. If not, hey - her life. But I can still give her a hard time about it...BECAUSE WE'RE GROWN UPS!

Have a great day!

Cheerio.

Okay, I've given you a lot of rope, Mrs. JCDEPPII, but now you're like a scab.

Irritating and just one you want to pick off and flick into the garbage.

Last I checked, this was my blog.

Not yours.

You don't like what I said or others have said? Please feel free to disagree. However, the ad hominem attacks (Yes, I'll wait while your ignorant butt looks it up in Google...) and rudeness to my readership has gone on far enough.

So, yes, you, my dear, need to shut the ever living fuck up before I get really irritated and look up your IP address and post your address to the internetz, m'kay?

You see, people think they can post anonymously and thus can be ruder and more vile than one would ever be to some stranger on the street, in the grocery store, or at Target. So not true here.

Sadly, you have no relevance here anymore and have become an unwanted troll.

So go eat your greasy fast food in your pathetically empty life in your lonely little room filled with Johnny posters, m'kay?

You are not welcome here anymore.

2010-02-20T03:16:38.227-08:00

I am not disputing that Scout made a valid point.

What I don't agree with is the fact that she is trying to get everyone to boycot Johnny Depp films.

She can boycot them if she wishes to, but, she should not tell everyone else to.

Everybody has their own opinions.

It is not Johnny Depp who commited the crime, it is Roman Polanski so it should be his films that she should be boycotting, not Johnny Depps.

2010-02-19T17:10:10.311-08:00

OK- those of you who are cursing and calling each other out it's time for a truce. People, all Scout said was she will not financially endorse an actor, as popular as JD is, for his support of a admitted rapist.

Celebrities constantly endorse products, politicians, philosophies and it is a long held tradition to boycott said products, politicians, athletes or celebrities when they have stepped of the moral center. JD is literally excusing Rapist Polanski. There is something deeply wrong with that line of thinking.

I'd like to see him explain to his daughters what he meant by his comments though. I'm sure JD will have a change of heart when his daughters come of age and dirty old men are stalking them down.

Seriously, Rape shouldn't be debatable and Scout has made a point here.

2010-02-11T16:33:18.286-08:00

Cry me a river. If I didn't see a movie based on a performers thoughts on a crime he/she themselves did not commit, I WOULDN'T LEAVE THE HOUSE. Don't go see Polanski's movies, it's ignorant and irrelevant to not see Depp's.

2010-02-10T20:15:19.396-08:00

Wow, this has turned into a ridiculous argument over which country sucks the most... can we get back to the article itself without being extremely insulting?

Anyway, I'm not the biggest fan of Johnny Depp, but he never really said, "Oh yeah, I'm a fan of child rape." He just made a small statement (imo, not that controversial) about someone he has worked with before, who probably is not a predator at 75. Polanski is pretty messed up, I'll give you that. Who wouldn't be after his pregnant wife and friends were brutally murdered by the Manson family? Not an excuse for his behavior, but Polanski is not the same as Johnny Depp.

BTW, Canadain "healthcare" is lauded by those that dont have to use it. Its a fuggin joke like everything else Canadian...

2010-02-10T10:53:38.382-08:00

Hey guy, the US, Canada, and the UK is the same shit. Americans are just dumb as fuck and brain washed into thinking their country is running not just fine but better than all the rest. Our economies are near identical, capitalism (the base) which influences our governments (the superstructure) and at times via laws/bills the superstructure influences the base; it's cyclical. When you have a band of international banks such as JP Morgan / Chase Financial that has well over 5000 branches (in the U.S. alone) each with a paltry ten million in them you have yourself an absolutely corrupt system.

Didnt the U.S. whup the shit outta the "Brits"? And you idiots still swoon at the powerless, complete travesty of a monarchy? The Queen that has to "rule" (remember, no power) because her idiot son has become the laughing stock of the world?

Isnt the U.K., a pathetic excuse of a country for the better part of a century and a half, always pulling at the proverbial U.S. pant leg a.k.a. Oliver "May I have another sir?".

2010-02-10T01:57:52.085-08:00

^^ This has obviously taken on a life of its own but in reply to Scout - it's far too simple to say he "plead guilty" to rape. He didn't. Your version of events is over-simplified and inaccurate. The facts are very much in doubt. Statutory rape/unlawful sexual connection and rape are not the same crime. He accepted a plea bargain as many do for a whole host of possible reasons. He plead not guilty to rape and the other initial charges. The case was fishy from the beginning. In addition to that he encountered some sort of rogue judge did he not, who was set to go against every recommendation made that RP not serve jail time, almost on principle and essentially because of who RP was? I'm not sure that's just. The victim has changed her story numerous times and also pursued him financially. She is an opportunist, a liar, and once was a Lolita it would seem. How can we know after all this time where the truth may lie? What is really needed, a re-examining of the evidence, is not possible. Far from getting away with something due to his fame, RP is being scapegoated because of it, and for the second time it would seem. That is always something to question and that is what JD was doing - questioning.

Statutory rape is a notoriously difficult and problematic area of the law to deal with justly. It is widely recognized as such. Often, as is the case at this time, the 'victim' wants the case dropped. It is not a 'hang 'em high and don't think twice' area of the law. That is not justice.

Eager and greedy hatred and contempt for those who have contributed oceans more than the rest of us put together, but allegedly fallen foul of the law or of 'morality,' does not sit well with me. Smacks of simplemindedness and hypocrisy. Perhaps we should string them all up, JD & RP & all of them, and endlessly praise ourselves for leading our small pedestrian lives. I'm not sure the world would be a better place.

I live in canada, technical analyst/network admin currently going to university. This article is a waste of time in her efforts she achieves nothing by boycotting this flick nor does it deliver any form of value to the reader - outside of a false sense of security based on incoherent connections. Had Romand Pedofile Polanski directed the film maybe you'd have something it would send a message. Unfortunately the director is Tim Burton who hasn't been that great since 1994, UUUUHHHHHMMEERRRRKAAAHHH

2010-02-09T21:18:44.564-08:00

Its unbelievable that we have people like the Matt and MrsJCD that get butt hurt when people dont agree with some moron actor?

Since when does acting mean that person has any more intelligence than a 3rd grader?

Johnny Depp is a moron, period.
For his comments on Polanski, for his views about the U.S.? No surprise... ...and no surprise mindless druids like Matt and MrsJCD speak up in his defense.

If either of you are presently in the U.S., and I suspect you are, it wouldnt be surprising to find both of you mindless imbeciles living off the welfare system of the country you both seem to hate.

If our system is so horrible to your fragile senses? LEAVE You're both useless wastes of time anyway, you wont be missed...

With love and kisses!!!

Funny post at Shake - but nope, still thought the ad was good.

Maybe it's because my husband and I laugh at the little things that seem to beat down other couples. Making sure his favorite snack is in the pantry when he gets home from working all day while I raise our kiddos doesn't make me the ultimate in antifeminist. It just makes me nice.

Also probably since he bought me an awesome car before he bought himself one - yeah, that helps a lot too.

I worry for the future of my two sons.

If personal judgement/criticism is a crime then there is not a single person on this planet who is innocent, especially when it comes to judging/criticizing on matters they know nothing about.

Matt, I also agree with you that the USA is a joke & as far as I'm concerned both the country & its American inhabitants are not worth a toss.

2010-02-09T17:11:46.783-08:00

the united states of america is a fucking joke country, more importantly their is no reason to boycott a film that has nothing at all to do with roman polanski other than an actor in the film made a statement that does not agree with your own perception(s) on the situation where you didn't witness roman polanski punish penetrating a 13 year old and thus can't say if it happened or not without some small amount of uncertainty. albeit i will not attend this film in cinemas as i love the original fuck yeah animation. however i'm glad you're standing up for mothers everywhere and accomplishing fuck all you stupid insolent cunt.

Are we talking about the same idiot Johnny Depp that chooses to live in France because he doesnt believe in the United States of America????

Regardless of his recent Polanski statements, this dude is a joke... ...period.

Those of you that continue to support Johnny Depp might as well jump on Osama bin Laden's bandwagon -- they both believe America is Evil.
