Welcome to FR.

Not quite sure what the Academy awards are all about--I've never watched this particular ritual. In any case, I'll be watching the war, if it is still going on. If I want to see a back-patting party, I'll go check out the local massage parlor.

You haven't seen my buddy Lazamataz, have you?

I never watch this disgusting display of ego-maniacal self promotion but for those who do ... I don't think you'll have to miss any of the war. It will be in the mop-up stages by Sunday night.

Hollywood - typical hypocrites

[eleni121]

Actors, directors, assorted others - they are products being sold and bought in the marketplace.

They are the human equivalent of meat or cheese...package them nicely in order to sell them. They are paid outrageous salaries which they demand for being involved in producing an abstract product. The guilt engendered by this, leads many to do the outrageous things we have seen recently.

Expiation of guilt - Sad isn't it?

Are we mad enough yet to stop buying this product? If so, the product will be forced to reflect the taste and desires of its consumers - us.

You write well and you make sense. Nice combination. God bless.

[appalachian_dweller]

Good reading. Most enjoyable.

Great piece. The vomitus Hollywood Pseudo-Socialists never met an enemy of America they didn't like.

[ladyinred]

Very well written.
This should be sent as a letter to the editor of the LA Times!

If we're lucky it will be preempted by war coverage.

Outstanding! My sentiments exactly.

They still don't understand that a growing number of Americans see through the shallowness of their talking props (who are paid to lie) and becoming more and more repulsed by the emptiness behind their phony veneers.

Oh please, please, please let schoolmarm Susan Sarandung give the nation a sanctimonious lecture on Oscar night. The more they practice their peculiar form of self-immolation/sedition, the more the nation gets a good look at Hollow-Wood, Inc. with their post 9-11 eyes.

There was a time not too long ago where boardinghouses in Los Angeles and New York City hung signs outside which read: NO DOGS OR ACTORS ALLOWED. Here's to a nationwide resurgence of that awareness (dogs excluded).

PS. If they really want to know why the world hates us, they need only look in the mirror.
