Yes the Nazi rumor is untrue (go figure damned lieing internet!). However all of you Tom Green haters may not have much longer to hate him. He has testicular cancer. Ouch Ouch Ouch!

But he’s a funny friggin’ jerk. And it’s on MTV…come on, folks. You’re bitching about the quality of a show on _MTV_?

He is also engaged to Drew Barrymore. Makes me wonder about Drew’s taste in men.

Heh heh… while I’m not a big fan of Tom Green, I do like some of his bits. I like the ones where he does things like walk down the street acting weird, or putting his drawing in a museum and getting comments, but I don’t like the ones where he’s really doing something to somone (like the ship bit where he kept waking the crew up at night).

My absolutely favorite bit, though, was where he offered to take a half-dozen or so audience members home. As he dropped each one of them off (at something like 2AM), he tried to argue them into letting the manager guy come in and take a shower. Most of them got really angry and threatened to call the police, which is where the humor for me came in; the irony of someone who is obviously a big fan of Tom Green getting annoyed when he does it to them is quite amusing.

(And yes, one guy did eventually let Phil come in and take a shower).

Wait til you have kids & they find this program when you don’t know. The kid did, yuck.

It wasn’t captioned until recently. He seems to do things most 20ish people do. Something about being socially invulnerable ?
