Places like IMBD don’t need to exist.

I’d laugh my ass off if the Hollywood fanatics would stop paying these pampered assholes any attention.

Take the age down. While you’re at it, take everything else down.

I’ve never seen a more conceited group of people, awarding themselves continually, for heaven knows what...

You have to use very loose terms to think of anything positive they create. Good luck with that.

It’s all make believe. Nothing exists except a fantasy when they finish shooting.

They haven’t made something someone can live in. They haven’t created anything to feed people. They haven’t created a mode of transportation to take people to work. They haven’t contributed to the betterment of any society on earth, but to hear them tell it, the world would be nothing if not for them.

The people who help create their television shows and movies only work sporadically.

Ah, but boy are the actors important.

Why once they score a staring roll making believe, they are instantly awarded a doctorate for any subject they wish to enlighten others about.

Spare me...

Take the age down. Take the would damn industry down.

That’s hilarious! IMDB is incorporated in the UK. Good luck forcing a company located in a foreign country to comply with Californistan law.

Doesn’t anybody EVER say this is way beyond the scope of government?

Most Americans mistakenly believe that actors and politicians are people of importance. I blame public schools.

I blame the entertainment industry.

It’s an incestuous relationship everyone feeding off everyone else.

Aren’t the scripts all ready written with the characters being of a certain age?

To really nip this ageism thing in the bud, we must control the writers and demand their stories meet approved diversity standards, regardless of how the story is presented to the public.

It’s great that California has no problems more pressing than age discrimination against actors. Good use of their time. /s

I like to look up people from classic TV and movies.

Bingo! There’s the post I was going to make, but looked for first. California can’t pass laws to tell me I can or can’t do sh!t because I don’t LIVE in California. His Majesty, Governor Brown, and the clown chorus that is the California legislature seem to have overlooked that all important fact.

Theat’s a very good point!

Why should William Brimley get to play all the old, diabetic grandfather types, and not some young actor like Bradley Steven Perry for example?

Discrimination at its worst!

Age does show on IMDB, by coincidence within the last hour I researched the age of Ally Walker (the shrink on Longmire), she was born in 1961.

Interestingly, this example proves this Calif law is stupid. Last night wife and I were discussing her age, we figured it to be close to 70, when she’s only 55.

Wouldn’t they have to censor Wikipedia, too, which has birthdates as standard biographical information?

Yep, we like to watch old Perry Mason shows and check out if the actors are still kicking...

Dear Californistan,

No thank you. You don’t get to dictate what the rest of the country can see.

PS: Go fornicate yourself.

Love,

Laz

California has no jurisdiction over IMDB. They are headquartered in Seattle. As long as their servers are not in California, they can tell Brown to go screw himself

Next, California will ban any internet discussion of firearms, wherever it is in the entire world.

You know, because they can just do stuff like that.

What difference does the age make? You’d still hit it ...
