Those two guys on the couch are my friends! Ben Best ("Is that blood?") and Jody Hill ("I've never before seen that in my life").

Actually, Jody Hill directed a movie that should FINALLY be coming out in August called THE FOOT FIST WAY, which is the funniest fucking movie I've seen in a long, long time. Will Farrell saw it and decided to attach his name to it. Coincidentally, Ben Best is in that, also. They're really cool guys, so don't think this is me dropping names, but rather a good friend giving them props. Assholes.

Odd bit of trivia I'm almost embarrassed to know When the show was first filmed as a pilot his name was Mr. Hinkley. At some point between the filming of the pilot and the airing of the series John Hinkley decided to express his love for Jodie Foster by trying to assassinate Reagan, so Mr. H was born instead. Can't remember offhand if they ever gave him a full last name or not but for some odd reason that much stuck in my mind.

But what's more is the fact the guy asking the question isn't just some obese tourist in a Hawaiian shirt,

You say that as if he was that would be excuse enough to act like a dick to this person. Nice stereotype BTW.

Obviously he has some proficiency in French or his employer wouldn't have sent him to the interview. He's too lazy to apply his knowledge.

Did you ever stop to think that because he speaks English that he works for a media outlet with an English speaking viewers/readers and knowing this guy speaks English wanted to get a direct quote or sound bite in English for those people? I mean really...where was the harm in answering the question?

What we have seen here is an anglophone's sense of cultural entitlement.

So why is this guy interviewing Jodi Foster in French?

Is it due to some "cultural entitlement"? I can't believe that his boss would send someone to interview am American actress that did not speak English. Is he just being lazy?

It's amazing how I changed the title from "Knocked Up (2007) - Jodi) to "Your Vagina... that's so sick", and within five hours the score for this video has jumped so much higher. I guess I've learned a valuable videosift lesson: just make it sound nasty.

Fornication...

... 'scuse me.

For an occasion such as this, I'd like to thank you all for coming to celebrate the marriage of Shane and Tina's. A wise man told me that the best man speech should last as long as the groommate's love.

<brief pause>

... Thank you ladies and gentlemen.

I'm standing up here tonight representing the category for best man. A term that is unjustly appointed to me, and not deserved. Though it's a great honor, I'm not really the best man, just a good guy. The best man here tonight, is Shane Seaver. Now as I mentioned it's a great honor to be the best man, but with that comes a role: writing this speech. And to be honest with you, to make the process a bit easier, I decided to turn to the internet for some help.

The obvious place seemed to be the internet, so with a multitude of resources at my fingertips, I began searching the web. After a couple hours of searching, I found some really good stuff. But then I remembered I was supposed to be looking for speech ideas.

I did actually find several speech ideas, unfortunately none of them were about a couple named Shane and Tina who lived in Lincoln. Shane was born on June 19, 1974. I tried to link this to some major world event, but it seems that nothing else happened that day, although the Henderson hospital staff still refers to that day as "Ugly Wednesday."

Unfortunately Shane was a slow starter... at playschool Shane was different from all the other 5-year olds... he was 11.

Shane and Tina are each great individuals and together they truly make an unstoppable couple. They are both caring, strong-willed, and intelligent. Their love for one other is apparent to each one of us today. The great thing about Shane and Tina is that they have planned far more than their wedding, they have planned their marriage. As a matter of fact, Shane has already found out the married man is one who replaces the money in his wallet with a picture of his wife.

Shane is always excellent in everything he does, whether it was school, friends, his career, sports... even if he was the last one to be picked. And I know that if he models his parents Don and Sherry, then he will be a wonderful spouse for Tina. And since I'm married, I guess I should give you a little marriage advice - one thing that my wife Jodie and I ... we never go to bed angry, we usually just stay up and argue.

Ladies and gentlemen, these two people are very important to us. Without them the night would be a little less joyous. The great thing about this is as the evening progresses, most of us will have the opportunity to spend more time talking with them. So please join me in a very personal toast... to the bar staff. Thank you.

Tonight I'm here free of charge. And I hope you found me worth every penny. But I only have a minute left, which normally I would reserve for rupturous applause for myself. However, on this occasion I'll finish with a poem that sums up marriage quite nicely (it's good).

"The perfect groom is gentle, never harsh, cruel, or mean
he has a beautiful smile and keeps his face so clean
the perfect groom likes children, and will raise them by your side
he'll be a good father and husband to his bride
the perfect groom loves cooking, cleaning, and laundry too
he'll do anything in his power to show his love for you
the perfect groom is sweet, writing poetry from your name
he's the best friend to your mother, and kisses away your pain
he'll never make you cry or hurt you in any way
and if this poem stands to be true, then Shane... you really are gay."

I think this is why in the movie "Contact" that old man that "funded" Jody Foster's character in the movie was living on an airplane since he was "diagnosed" with some form of cancer.

I enjoyed the movie, until the moronic ending where scientific knowledge was equated with religious belief. And they utterly stacked the deck to make that seem rational. The best review was Penn's - http://pennandteller.com/sincity/penn-n-teller/excite/contact.html

The best bit:

The movie was rocking along. Even though it was fiction, it was just like Carl -- pro-science to the bone.

Then it all started falling apart. Why didn't Jodie permanently lose the newage -- rhymes with "sewage" -- hippie after he tried to keep her from fulfilling her dreams for his own short-sighted horniness? That started to bum me, but it was the ending that finally broke my heart. The end of "Contact" asserted that belief in something tangible by a single person is equivalent to belief in god, and that the reality imagined by saints is the same as scientists understanding something they can't explain to lay people.

That is evil, utterly evil.

no problem, easiest save I ever did! plus, I just love Jodie...!

In reply to your comment:
“ Thanks firefly! Yeah, I jumped the gun.

In reply to your comment:
“This was pulled with 9 votes?! gotta try a *save””

the mention of ochams razor is a really old and problematic argument. I remember watching the Jodie Foster movie where its mentioned. It's a precept, and has more to do with common sense than science (the two being sometimes in opposition - quantum mechanics)

wikipedia
Kant felt a need to moderate the effects of Occam's razor and thus created his own counter-razor: "The variety of beings should not rashly be diminished."

"beings" here means , in philosophical terminology, an entity, a thing, anything that can be said to be (to exist)

I would have to agree with Jody, if this was a white chocolate Jesus would he be making such a fuss over it.

fun point, Jody. a white chocolate Jesus would also have looked like white-marble/limestone/plaster, more resembling 'acceptable' idols of Jesus.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Great movie and a better book.

I was a bit pissed when I first watched it, because they made this huge deal of of the religion vs. science thing - which wasn't in the book so much. I've since mellowed, but still like the book better.


In the book they had this cool thing where the Jodie Foster character at the end of the story, turned the pattern detection computers toward looking for patterns in repeating decimal numbers. She found numbers that geometrically represented this huge circle, a few thousand places in to pi. She took this as proof that the universe was artificially created. (kind of like finding a serial number stamp). Really fascinating stuff.
