While I may disagree with any number of celebrities that spout off their political views, we all are entitled to them…hey that’s what makes America great. And while I may disagree with their views I still respect that they have them, whether it’s Sean Penn or Clint Eastwood. And it’s not new that celebrities use their clout as celebrities to get their message heard by more people than if they were nobody’s like most of the rest of us.

But I fail to have respect for Jason Biggs’ (of American Pie fame) recent tweets while the RNC was going on.

I didn’t know that Jason Biggs was still alive before this thread, but now I’m glad that he is.

_snicker_

The egregious use of “ur” aside, I thought all of those tweets were fucking hilarious. I am truthfully a \*very \*non-classy person, though. If I were famous, I’d take his ass out for a beer.

Well I’m dead set against language like the kind used by the pie fucker, but then I think anyone using the term “totes” instead of “totally” should be beaten to death with shovels.

Yes. Because the thing Jason Biggs is famous for is starring in classy movies. Like American Pie. Where his character wasn’t caught masturbating into an apple pie, hence the title of the movie.

I liked Eric Roberts when he was younger…I thought he would have a better career.

Jason Biggs is 34. Pathetic.

Me too. Those tweets have made him far more interesting than most celebrity tweeters. At least there’s some honesty there.

Another one who is fun is Ellen Barkin.

Twitter has a strict limit on characters used. I forgive these shortcuts on tweeters.

I’m not half as offended by the low imagery as I am by the fact that there is nothing at all in what’s known about Janna Ryan or Ann Romney to suggest bleached assholes or anything of the sort. That is, these are utterly lazy and generic insults that could be applied to anybody. And as such, largely unfunny to anybody whose sense of humor has evolved beyond finding dookie jokes inherently funny.

(Actually, a dookie joke on its own can be funny. It when someone tells you a dookie joke and then pretends they’ve made a trenchant political observation that it becomes insufferable. Just keep making the same movie over and over again, Jason, it makes you plenty of money.)

TL;DR — Jason Biggs, the **FairPoint** of Twitter.

To be fair, Jason HAS done other things, including the Woody Allen movie with Christina Ricci, which was OK. He actually was fairly good in that.

And you’re right, I actually doubt Ann bleached her hole. That’s more of a young woman’s thing to do.

Jason Biggs is still around?

When was the last time he was in anything other than one of the American Pie movies.

It’s true. Janna Ryan does bleach her asshole. That’s why he looked so pale during his acceptance speech.

OK, I’m voting Romney-Ryan, and that made me laugh!

I didn’t even know what that meant. I guess after you get to 40 you just completely lose touch. _sigh_

I didn’t find Jason’s tweets particularly funny. His wife’s, on the other hand, cracked me up.

That’s okay. I hate twitter too. It encourages stupid linguistic shortcuts like “totes” that bleed into actual usage.

He starred in a sitcom last year called \*Mad Love \*that only lasted 13 episodes. It wasn’t the worst thing in the world, because it also starred Sarah Chalke, Judy Greer and Tyler Labine. But even the combined comedic acting talents of those three couldn’t pull it out from under the giant wet blanket of bland that Biggs cast over the whole thing.

Has been, tweets something designed to offend, in thinly veiled attention whoring episode.  
Only to be rewarded with plenty of attention.

Film at 11.

How can anyone, let such nonsense, into their brainspace, and _not_ feel like a fish on a hook?

I condemn such behaviour totally and completely.

It’s well worth the free pass in a Bricker equivalence thread.

Also, if he wanted to be funny, he could have riffed on something thematic (while maintaining the egregiously distasteful slant).

What’s Paul Ryan known for? Lowering taxes on arrows, being Catholic, adoring Ayn Rand.

“Paul Ryan drawing blanks in his convention speec. While he’s coming up short, his wife is preparing for the second cumming. #YOLT #RNC” - Under 140 characters.

“Hey Janna Ryan, you Randy whore, I’ll show you John Galt’s machine at the Royal Suite. We’ll be fucking over the rich for once. #RNC” - Likewise.

Ok, they’re not particularly memorable or funny (and after looking it up, the drawing blanks part works by [equivocation](http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/draw-a-blank.html)), but at least they’re pertinent. The only connection I can think of for bleached assholes is that rich young attractive people do it, which just doesn’t make for good political commentary.

It’s not enough to just be offensive, you also have to be clever about it.
