Now that is how you do celebrity asshole!

I am repulsed by Hollywood and their never ending need to hand out prizes and statues.

Julie Roberts makes me full-on sick.

They sure have good looking women in that business. Mrs. Cohen is finely made. Sure there is lots of makeup and all, but still, if you are an asshole, or ugly, or a creep that's the business to be in. Personally I don't think fame is worth the price, but it sure improves the looks of women available to you.

I'm guessing a stunt like that is a lot harder to get right than it looks.

Yea, how did they do that? If that was really a woman that age, it was incredibly risky, was it a double?

The Dude said...

That was not a stunt - that old woman was killed right there on stage. Well, just off it, actually.

Oh, then it's funnier than I thought.

Wild speculation, here. He's not the one who moves the wheelchair. Too much momentum too fast. He doesn't extend his arms and he doesn't brace himself like he's driving with his legs.

There's a cable that get pulled away after the wheelchair launches so maybe that has something to do with it.

I'm guessing there's a catch that arrests the wheelchair at the very edge of the stage so it stays behind as the person projects forward.

Maybe there was a crash pad down there. There's an edit so grips could have cleaned up the scene and maybe reposition the wheelchair.

Also, notice how the pajamas spell out "nig."

Cohen is imaginative, funny, and fearless. He is one of the best people @ lampooning PC. We need more people like him.
