I have a proposition

Wow, I'm surprised at the vitriol which has recently been directed at JCD, and now Jolie. Repeat to yourself "It's just a show, and I really should relax." Many people got all up in arms last time John was on the show because he made a couple of off color remarks; but where's the outrage at Jolie being called a cunt by someone in the chat room? No woman deserves that, especially in a public forum.

Agreed but unfortunately maintaining any level of outrage about comments in a forum or chat room is difficult for me these days. A survival mechanism anyone who spends time online develops. Such comments are so prevalent that it would result in a pretty unhappy life to lend them too much weight.

 

I think Jolie can often provide a valuable perspective but this episode did feel a little stilted. Is it possible that two 'contrarians' in studio is too much for even Leo's enthusiasm to balance out?

 

Maybe they should have had Scoble on as well ;)?

O'Dell is fascinating. It's like she's been constructed in a laboratory for the sole purpose of winding me up. Everything she says seems designed to pinpoint exactly the opposite of what I think and her smug self satisfied demeanour amps the whole package up to 11.

 

Just writing this is making my blood boil. I need to lie down.

I'll share a story, maybe its related but probably not. Years ago I was telling a co-worker about Amy Polar in a movie. His first reaction when he knew who she was "I want to hit her in the face with a shovel".

 

After my initial shock, I asked him why he hated her so much? He told me he didn't really know her, just her face aggravated him. After a moment I asked him did you date someone that looked like her? After a moment of thought, he said yea he did.

 

So it became obvious to me he had a bad break up with somebody else. At the time he was and still is married so I knew it wasn't jealousy. Now a days he loves the show Parks and Rec on NBC.

 

You seem not just annoyed Lee, but pretty angry. I'll just tell you look at the bright side Jolie isn't a regular guest.
