Doesn’t make him any less a mindless idiot.

I will add Russel Crowe to my DO NOT WATCH list
along with Julia Roberts, Barbara Streisand ... etc.

Makes choosing a movie much easier.

[proud American in Canada]

one of his fans called @picknic11 who asked him: “My son is due soon. Do you think I should get him circumstanced? [sic]”

Why of course, when my husband and I made an important decision about our son, we should have consulted Russell Crowe. /s

There's a specific context for this. There's a group based in San Diego pushing this particular legislation, but it's not isolated to that: there's a concerted, coordinated effort to make anti-Semitism acceptable again. Be prepared, call 'em out whenever possible.

One of my favorite “Saturday Night Live” bits ever is when the original series spoofed a then-current Mercury Marquis commercial. In the original, they demonstrated that car’s smooth ride by having a gemcutter cut a diamond while sitting in the back seat. In the SNL parody, they had a rabbi do a circumcision in the back seat. As Lee Iacocca later described it in his memoirs, “Believe me, the suspense in the diamond-cutter ad was nothing compared to the tension in this one.”

Ah gee, another foul mouthed actor thinking his opinion actually matters to anyone but himself.

I think we have a winner!

[thefactor]

Mel Gibson called to say thanks for taking the heat off him.

[WayneS]

He probably doesn’t even know that muslims also engage in the practice. I’m sure he’ll apologize for opposing it once this fact is pointed out to him.

[Mr. Mojo]

Someone should’ve asked him if he considers killing unborn babies to be “barbaric” as well.

[Gaffer]

He should carp......he has a speech impediment. I honestly don’t know how he actually got parts.

[WayneS]

“Hygienic? Why don't you sew up your a-- then?"

Okay, I admit it. I laughed when I read that...

[chiefqc]

Hey crowe stick with your day job and if we want your opinion we’ll kick you in the ba**s to let you know.

[miss marmelstein]

Oh, Lordie! The community that perfected freakish cutting (i.e., facelifts, breast lifts, etc.) speaking out on circumcision. I’d laugh if I didn’t cry.

[EQAndyBuzz]

““Abortion should always be a woman’s choice, there is no benefit to ‘forced’ motherhood…you got it? don’t like it then bye,” he tweeted.”

Crowe tweeted this during his circumcision rant.

Last movie of his I will ever go see.

[miss marmelstein]

Actually, if we can stick to the subject of cutting (rather than murdering) let’s ask him about Joan River’s face cuts (not face lifts) and Chastity Bono’s hacking off of her breasts. But, then, Mr. Crowe isn’t really too bright, is he?

[rightly_dividing]

what the hell is it with liberals and circumcision all of a sudden ?

The liberal position on all subjects is the opposite of whatever the Bible says for any given situation. Anti Christian and Jewish, thats what cranks their tractors.

I am not familiar with a ot of the ‘language and culture’ of Twitter, Face Book, etc. etc.

Does “unfollow” mean to remove someone from one’s list of twerps, tweeters, twits, (or whatever they are called) from whom one receives twittled, tweeted, twerped (or whatever whatever it is called) messages?

I am thinking of starting up a ‘Social Network’ of my own, though. It will be geared towards people like Joe Biden, Chris Matthews, Anthony Weiner, Russell Crowe, etc. (those who can't seem to stop inserting their electronic feet in to their internet-based mouths). And I shall call it: ‘FacePalmBook’

[Gaffer]

It is a form of Jew hatred (the circumcision thing). However, it is not a procedure only practiced by Jews. When someone has a career as 'aktor', it can usually be followed by imbecile.
