Christian Bale's On Set Tirade is Great

I have a soft spot for great outbursts and rants. Many times those tirades seem to include a sports player or coach (ie "Playoffs?" or "The Bears are who we thought they were").

Well this week, actor Christian Bale decided to give us one of the best tirades I've ever heard. Not only was he pissed, not only did he swear a lot, but he absolutely ripped a director of photography right to his face.

Christian Bale's on-set meltdown, in which he tore a Terminator Salvation cinematographer a new one, catapulted the volatile actor into rare company with other celebrities who managed to make absolute jackasses of themselves while the recorders were rolling.

"I want you off the f****** set, you prick," Bale said in the vitriolic outburst that's turned into a viral sensation. "No, don't just be sorry -- think for one f****** second."

A totally NSFW audio clip (.mp3) of Bale's F-bombing tirade, which took place in July, surfaced on TMZ earlier this week, touching off a fireworks display of online dance remixes like RevoLucian's "Bale Out" (embedded below).

Parodies, in which Bale takes on craft services and other easy targets, a Christian Bale Soundboard and the inevitable T-shirt quickly followed.

Very NSFW but hilarious

The Man, The Myth, The Legend...Ronald Jenkees

"Hello YouTubes"

It's easy to see why we have a special piece of Jenkees artwork in the office. I'm still undecided if this is just a character or there is a Ronald Jenkees out there who acts like that all day long. Either way he gets nasty on the keyboard.

But over the past 4 months or an undercurrent of controversy surrounding Jenkees has started to creep to the surface. It seems there are quite a few people who have a problem with Jenkees’ persona on YouTube. In fact, some of them think that Ronald Jenkees is a blatantly fake character, that was created with the sole intention of gaming the YouTube crowd.

This has led to lively discussions in forums, Fresh Peel comments, and in the YouTube comments section.

Out of all comments I’ve read in regards to Jenkees, very few criticize his music. The point of confrontation seems to always stem from differing opinions of just how authentic Ronald Jenkees is.

I’ve found there to be three very different opinions on Ronald’s authenticity:

1. Ronald Jenkees is an outright fake.
2. Ronald Jenkees is a talented musician that has created stage personality.
3. Ronald Jenkees is totally authentic. All the hats, funny voice, and stupid sayings are 100% Jenkees.

This again begs the question, what is the true definition of authenticity?

Is there no place in the conversation age for characters, fictional stories and stage names? Must everything be presented with a disclaimer in order to truly be authentic?

If that’s the case, transparency could make things pretty boring.

Bill O'Reilly Does It Live

I know this video is a little old but I just recently saw it again and it makes me laugh every time. In case you haven't seen the video of Bill O'Reilly freaking out, it is from back when he hosted Inside Edition.



And just in case you can't get enough of this video, you can buy a t-shirt of it.
