At the end of the clip you find out why they were laughing. In the related link you can see their apology two days later.
Those who are engaging in a life of pretend are trying to escape from the reality of their lives. It isn’t the first time that the Hollywood system has done this to actors/actresses. It is an old story and its been remade many times.
or maybe you're just stupid.
Getting the giggles is intensified when the setting is inappropriate, especially when you have a cohort.”
Imagine sitting in a church as a fifteen year old and someone uses the word “erect” in the sense of building, or construction, a totally appropriate usage. Unless you are a fifteen year old, sitting in church with the buddies....
Wasn’t Wilson in ‘Behind Enemy Lines’ with Gene Hackman?
That was an excellent movie.
This is an extremely off color story. I remember being in church as a nine year old with my best friend, Nathan. Nathan was busily digging around in his nose mining for something. He pulls out this massive green monstrosity and with nowhere to put it he flicked it away. Well it flew about ten feet and hit an exit door with a very audible THUD...and stuck! I don’t know that I have ever in my life laughed so hard...or so quietly.
“He’s a self-absorbed hollywierd loser who just can handle being rich and famous.”

And you know this, how?
I am glad to hear it hit only the door.
I was terrified that you were going to say it stuck on Ms. Crabtree’s chin, a few rows back....
Or maybe I just dont care about Hollywood. With that said, was the personal attack really necessary? A very liberal trait.
Because the odds favor his type of behavior.
But you still don’t know.
Perhaps if you would read my post #31....?????
Oh...and my opinion of your character is even lower.
Replace Owen Wilson with Ashcroft, or Cheney, or Rumsfeld and alot of people who post on here would be all over this guy. Is it only inappropriate if it’s a conservative?
Much ado, meet nothing. The TV people were apologizing as they went along.
As opposed to what? A playful herion addiction? ;)
Thank you for the information on Mr. Wilson. However, I’m gonna stick to what I said earlier — that the problems may have started long before the romantic breakup. Thing is that large numbers of people with depression and other forms of mental illness don’t want to admit that they have a problem. Or they are afraid that if they do, it will ruin their careers or embarrass their families. I know I had problems long before I sought help. I am by no means famous, but it was customary in my family to buck up and deal with things alone. As I was told once, in a conversation about counseling, it wasn’t right to “air the dirty laundry” to strangers. I didn’t seek help for my problems till I fell into a horrible depression after my father died. But to this day, most of my family doesn’t know I received counseling and was on medication for a time. If they knew or would know now, I would never hear the end of it.
And many who fall into drug and/or alcohol addiction often do so to cover up their problem or to self medicate. Often this self-medication does indeed cover up the problem to the point where no diagnosis or an inaccurate diagnosis is made. I once worked for a guy — brilliant lawyer and an all-around nice guy — but when his wife became terminally ill, he just fell apart. I knew he was drinking and assumed he was depressed. He did seek counseling for his depression and took anti-depressants. But I didn’t find out till years later (and apparently neither did he) that he actually was manic-depressive. He was only receiving treatment for half his problem...the other half went untreated because no one recognized it. Today, he’s part of a medical school program to treat his illness — the hope is that the program will become a model for successful diagnosis and treatment of manic-depressive illness. Apparently, he is doing well under this program. It’s too bad that his problem was not sufficiently diagnosed years ago — he could have recovered much earlier.
Who is Owen Wilson and why should I care more about him than the other 10,000 who attempted suicide yesterday?
Men to women suicide rates here in the post-feminist Paradise, 5 to 1.
Among people over 50, 11 to 1.
