Great topic today Tom!
What pissed me off for years was Judie Foster who always portrayed as good, loyal, hard working house wife with kids, whom married to a husband in almost every fricking movie of hers and yet she always preached about how proud she is for being gay. And nothing wrong being a gay and lesbian etc... But if you are so proud of your self as a gay individual, why don't you play the lesbian in your movies? Oh wait, that s not gonna sell and will effect you financially aint it?

I read the headline, actually, and said the same: Who gives a fuck?
While I listened to your show on this I thought of something else that I feel the same way about. In the past few years I've had to work with an enormous amount of people that have felt the need to blurt out that they are OCD, ADD, bipolar, manic depressive and the list goes on and on. They will say it like it's something that I need to be aware of and have empathy about. They also say it like it's a badge of honor. I couldn't give a fuck less and until women got into the psychology businesses, I think I'm correct, that all of those disorders were linked in subgroups with Cluster B personality disorders; psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists. So why would anyone be proud of that shit? And I'm not taking any responsibility for these fuckwits or their mental disorders. It's their responsibility, not mine, and I don't give a fuck.
Thanks for your wisdom, Tom.
Hear hear
I like Ms(?) Page's work, but yeah. It's like celebs telling us how much they love fricking Jesus. I don't fucking care, ok...?
