CelebrityFIST!

Okay doesn’t matter how I play this, this is gonna sound like an asshole talking.  But since I’m an asshole, no harm done.

We get it - Haiti is in the shitter (um, by the way, its been like that for 2 fucking centuries - everyone just noticed this??).  I’ve donated some cash and I have a friend over there, who tells me in no uncertain terms that if Americans were dealing with this shit in their cities, we’d have several milliion people in fetal positions over here.  I’m inclined to believe him.

Anyway, its nice that people (i.e.: Leona Lewis, Mariah Carey, Jon Bon Jovi, Kylie Minogue, Miley Cyrus, Susan Boyle, Mika, & Michael Buble) have recorded a song, all proceeds to go - blah blah blah.  Seriously a nice gesture.  But lets see where were at in six months. By the way, hows the effort going on Burma/Myanmar (they had that shit cyclone back 1998)?  Or Northern China (earthquake)?  Oh and New Orleans is still roughly 30% underpopulated than when Katrina hit.

Well, enough of that little dose of reality.  Here’s “Everybody Hurts” as it was originally done (by R.E.M.).  Sidenote, I am ‘technically’ in this video.  This video was filmed here in S.A. in a part of Interstate 10 that was under construction (they made it a double decker).  REM came by and filmed for two days - one to set up the vehicles and the shots, and the second day for the actual video.  I was in one of the cars and even did the ‘walking scene’ at the end.  But for the life of me I have NEVER seen me.  Figures! (shrugs)  Also, the dude tossing pages was actually a bible thumper from downtown.
