Re: comment #1

If you’re surprised a group of Canadians chewed out an american who just insulted them, you need to get out more. Back around 1993, the maple leaf was raised upside down during the world series. There was nearly a nationwide riot, politicians called for calm and the fans in Toronto booed the american anthem. All ’cause one of you raised our flag the wrong way up.

The mashed potato comments seems odd. In the context I read it, if Canada is mashed potatoes without gravy, then I love Canada without question. I’m not really sure what Billy Bob’s deal was that day. He’s playing music with Willie Nelson, he should be pretty happy. I wonder what Willie thinks about all of this.

Billy Bob Thornton certainly knows how todays public is always informed – so it was pretty stupid of him to be insulting. Canadians are a cool people to teach that “star” a lesson.

I think there’s a larger problem with Billy Bob: lately he’s making crappy movies, and now he’s trying to cover that up by being in a band, only to realize that nobody gives a crap about him anymore. seriously…has this guy been anything but a sound-bite or paparazzi-shot in the last 5 years?

“I think after this its time for another Top 5 of â€œBest/ worst celebrity PR blunders!â€
Fuck I miss the Top 5 segment!”

I second this. Do this on the next show.

I have pretty much the same reaction for this as I did for the Christian Bale thing. It was a dick thing to do and the crowd has every right to chew him out, but I don’t really care, nor am I offended. I’ll still enjoy Friday Night Lights.
