Chris Rock is my New Hero

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/22/oscars.rock.ap/index.html

According to this article, Chris Rock made the comment, "The (Oscar) awards don't really affect anybody's lives in the crowd," Rock said. "Meanwhile, the Nobel Peace Prize, there's no one there. Nobody cares what the scientists are wearing. What are you wearing Professor Allen? 'Pants!' "

Thank your God (or god, I'm not sure which it should be here. Is it correct to use the proper name here when you are referencing multiple gods? Maybe it should be "deities" or someth... Wait, lets get back to the point I was trying to make. You remember the part before the parentheses right? No. Ok, it said "Thank your God...") there is at least one guy in show biz who realizes that all the hype we as a society lavish on celebrity is a huge F&#KING WASTE OF TIME.

Oh and I liked this quote too: "Don't thank God. God's busy working on the tsunami, so leave him alone." Here here. Like God gives a shit who wins "best supporting animal actor (mammal or bird) in a play about people dealing with the horrors of being unable to afford the REALLY good coffee at Starbucks" or some other useless shit like that. He's got more important things to do, like smiting the wicked and making sure conservatives have something to complain about.

Chris Rock rules! I am glad that a star finally said something! I am so sick of singers and actors thanking God for their awards. Like God cares that you won a damn grammy or Oscar. Like God said "Hey let's make this dumbass unbelieveably rich and famous and not that other guy so that he can buy tons of extravagant crap that NOONE NEEDS."

You know what I don't get? Why Green Day was owned by a Nora Jones/Ray Charles collaboration for Best Album just because Ray Charles is dead.

What the fuck, bitches?! Ray is chilling with God right eating prime rib. Like he needs a fucking award where he is. Holy God, why don't we start burying our dead with mummified cats and nunchucks for use in the afterlife?????

I mean, am I right??

Kind of ironic? I'm pretty sure that is the textbox definition.
