Y'all have successfully reinstated my cynicism. Also, phel, that was hilarious.

I agree with madbeatnik. This is an uncommonly heartfelt apology. Public figures in this kind of situation often offer up apologies that don't feel genuine, or miss the point of why what they did was offensive. This feels like the best response he could have given, and while it doesn't undo his douchebaggery, it's…

I lose my shit as soon as he starts knocking over cans.

That was fantastic. I couldn't stop laughing at that last commercial.

-wrong reply button-

I would go to a banquet in honor of those Somali pirates if they served bacon-wrapped shrimp.

Fuck yeah. I've got a pair of blue jeans I wore to a GWAR show that shall forever remain soaked in in Sarah Palin gore.

I still have it on VHS and my family dusts it off every year. It's absolutely worth going back to, and remains my favorite Christmas movie. The DVD version cuts out the kinda-dirgy breakup song, which makes that whole plot feel neglected, but I can't think of any other major changes.

Agreed, Ed. I loved that moment where he started talking to her about how awesome her art was, then remembered he hated her. That's exactly what talking to someone after a nasty split feels like.

Oh, I get it. "Dream House." -facepalm-

So Tasha, If we put a big ol' SPOILER WARNING right here, can you tell those of us who aren't going to see the film what the lame twist it?

It seemed like there was a lot of honesty in it, especially in his relationship with the Seth…
