Since when does anyone give a shit what actors think about anything? They're f-ing actors after all. I don't want to offend anyone, but often actors are actors for a reason - they can't do shit else and they don't want to have to work hard for a living. Most of them are uneducated and before they were famous were doing shit jobs for a reason. Sure, I've had my fair share of shit jobs too, but I also don't expect everyone to stop and listen to me on the radio or watch me on television while I mouth off about what this person or that person should be doing, or what our country should be doing, who should feel guilty about what and who's receiving what injustice. Hi, I'm Dan, and you're an f-ing actor. Shut up.
Now pop musicians... These jackasses are even worse and even more illiterate. Have you ever listened to an athlete try to express themself or talk about just anything? They sound like idiots. Often actors or musicians only sound like they know what they are talking about because they had voice lessons and end up mixing with the wine and cheese crowd at their industry awards ceremonies. In fact, they are just better looking athletes that are easier to stand because we can comprehend audibly what they are saying. It doesn't mean it makes sense or we should care at all. It's the attitude that drives an actor or musician to make an announcement on their stand on this or that which kills me. Um wow, Ego, you think you're issuing a statement is a really big deal don't you? You do realize you're a musician right? No, you don't. You think you are "changing the world" and really making a difference. Yeah, you're making a difference, you're making me hate you even more, making me change the station even more and making me want to see and hear much less of you.
I used to like Halle Berry, Janeane Garofalo, Martin Sheen, etc. Now I can't stand them. It's not only that they have idiotic viewpoints, but that they think I should care about what they have to say. Do you care what I think? I highly doubt it. And why not? Please list the skills that you have that I don't have that allow you to be the spokesperson for human rights, public policy, equality and everything else you think you control? Let's see, you have more money than me (unless you're Corey Feldman) and you have traveled more than I have... oh, and you've probably done a lot more drugs than I have. That's your advantage. Keep blowing your hot air and I'll keep watching less of your stupid movies and listening to less of your ignorant point of view. As much as I have a lot of disgust for public offices and politicians in general, they actually have information, intelligence, and usually have been participating in their craft for many many years to get where they are. They screw up, but when they screw up it matters. You're an actor, when you screw up you get a "do over" (also known as a "retake", but we all know it's just a "do over"). The bottom line is they do in real life what you pretend to do on screen.
The funniest thing I have seen in recent times is when the cast of The West Wing released a statement on what they would do if they were the real government. Unbelievable. The line between reality and pretend has gotten so blurry for these morons they think they should be doing something like this. Phenominal really, but mostly it scares me.

After watching the Laker's/Buck's game tonight I couldn't help but think the NBA's logo was long overdue for a revamp. It was either this or several grown men and their fans getting bent over in a scene of mass crowd ass raping. I think this is more family friendly. I'm sure the advertising execs will agree.
