Tim Robbins is a Tool.

Seriously. 

It’s as if he thinks we don’t get him. 

Behind those beady little eyes lies the mind of a publicity obsessed man whore. 

His latest stunt happened at the National Association of Broadcasters Show.  Because you know - he hasn’t inserted himself in the news for awhile – so what better place to do it.  Guaranteed coverage.  I have to hand it to Mr. Robbins: he does know how to trick the feeble minded news feeders.  His contract had a “no filming” clause.  But that only lasted for a brief respite as he allowed the cameras to eventually film. 

Of course.  Way to be counter – culture, Tim.  Way to stick it to the man and not allow filming at a Broadcasters Show. 

Oh wait…  Never mind…

Some gems from his drunken rant speech:

Mr. Robbins wants the media to “lift us up” into  “a more enlightened age”. 

I’m sure the “enlightened age” he doth speak of includes more exclusive interviews!  of Tim’s own political leanings – his daily (and deep!) thoughts on government, politics, movies, and Susan Sarandons’ bewbies.

You see, when you use the media as Tim has to further his own agenda, you have zero credibility to turn and bite said hand. 

I, for one - could not agree more with the assertion that I have heard enough about Paris Hiltons’ panty dropping antics - but I balk at the idea that Tim has any right to criticize a media that he himself has profited from. 

The sole reason his face is blasted at us everytime he feels a protest coming on:  the media loves him.  Why?

Because…

He is an actor, mainly known from “Bull Durham” and “The Shawshank Redemption”.  Both movies in which he read from the lines he was given and emoted.

Let me repeat: HE. READ. FROM. SHEETS. OF. PAPER.   and:  CRIED. ON. CUE.

What a hero.  

He is a glorified telemarketer.  With a stylist and better PR.

So he has a forum for every waking thought, should he choose to lower himself down to the teeming masses and share his nuggets of wisdom.  Through the media.  The very same establishment he criticizes for catering to the whims of us dirty, dirty, stinking peasants.

I realize Tim has a dim view of the general public, what with our “prurient and salacious desires”.  However, what Tim has failed to grasp is this:  The reason these news stories about the fucked up lives of celebrities are well read is that:

WE LIKE LAUGHING AT YOU. 

The golden age of Hollywood is over. 

Get a grip, Tim.
