Robert Downey Jr. Asks Us to Forgive Mel Gibson
While you were enjoying a rerun of Blossom on Boomerang, I was watching live coverage of The 25th American Cinematheque Award on E!. Never heard of the award? Oy vey! This is all you need to know: The ACA is somewhere between a door stop and an Emmy. But I digress. The big news was when Robert Downey Jr, television's Sherlock Holmes, recommended that we all forgive Mel Gibson. But what, exactly, are we to forgive him for? The antisemitism? Excuse me,, but if we do this, aren't we obligated to give Bernie Madoff a Nobel prize?
Did you read that Facebook, everyone's favorite time waster, has constructed something called the Timeline? Mark "ZuckNet" Zuckerberg named it part profile, part stalker resource. Now it's more convenient than ever for my 6th grade band teacher to see my Mafia Wars latest kill notice. And what about "frictionless social sharing"? Sounds a lot like how Carl Sagan would describe diddling in the back of a Plymouth Horizon. What it really means is that my dad will see that I like to read articles about Demi Moore's vajazzling.
