Hey, Gwyneth Paltrow: Shut The Fuck Up
God I hate Gwyneth Paltrow. Like, really really REALLY hate her. She's the kind of girl who probably thinks her farts smell like sunshine and rainbows when in reality they smell like poo and despair. Anyway, she took time out from taking a gigantic GOOP on us to explain why America is such a festering shithole."It is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old. Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it's from 500 B.C., it's incredible," she tells the Associated Press.
"Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more," she continued. "They aren't running around as much as in New York. They enjoy time with the family. They don't always have their BlackBerry on." (Source)
You've gotta be kidding me...This coming from the woman who made Shallow Hal and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow? Fuck off. You're ten times as shallow and vapid as anyone else in America. I've seen puddles with more depth than you. Get your head out of your ass next time you want to bad mouth people for doing their jobs, you holier-than-thou bitch.
Here's Frosty the Snowskank at the premiere of Valentino:
What's especially sad is that her mother is one of the truly awesome human beings out there. Blythe Danner is as superior to her sack of crap daughter as Gwennie the Moron thinks everywhere else is to the U.S. Funny how she keeps finding her way home, isn't it?
Cute.. needless to say, the good looking is always the focus, so she is famous on some big&tall dating site ___BigTalls.com___ where you can hook up with many hot sexy girls and bbws.
Son of a married couple! You know, I'm not American, I've never even BEEN to the States, and even I'm seven miles past fed up with her continental superiority. Again, as a non-American, I can't say whether or not her gripes hold any water (though I heartily suspect that they don't), but it seems to me that America has been VERY good to her.
Can anybody verify this sentiment of mine? It seems as though the majority of people who are so dismissive of their origins are the ones for have benefited the most from them. What's driving that? Even in heyday of the Grand Tour, people had a misguided sense of their own cultural superiority. I'm not arguing for that, but a low-income nobody like me doesn't understand why having cultural curiosity must travel in tandem with so much woeful denigration.
It just seems myopic and mean. Don't forget the very cliched, 'I like Europe because it's so historical'. Good explication, Cicero. I haven't done much traveling yet, but I did get an opportunity to go to England for a couple of weeks when I was fifteen--that's what everyone thinks, that's WHY YOU GO. You think anyone comes to Canada for the short surgery waiting lists, the 'Hundred Guns for a Hundred Cents' blowouts, or the Hermitage? Come on with that!
Not that there's anything such thing as the 'authentic' experience, but this attitude reminds me of Adela Quested in A PASSAGE TO INDIA, and you know how that turned out. Methinks if Ms. Paltrow Brahmin really had to hoof it with the dregs of the untitled society, she'd be clinging to her U.S. citizenship real hard.
500 B.C., huh? I'd love to see that stuff some day too, and I'm working towards it. But I have the sense to know that a good deal of what I'm seeing has been plundered and pissed on by nineteenth-century farmers. Yeah, it's not all bull-jumping and snake goddesses.
Damn, Jo "Mama" Besser; that's an awesome rant. I was just going to call her a C-Word.
For her to say that a building 17 years old in the US is considered old just shows her ignorance of her own country. The only reason she's considered a bankable actress right now is because of Ironman and no one went to see it because of her.
I almost wish someone would throw something at her but it would give her too much publicity; instead, I hope she fades away until she's just a footnote in Oscar history.
Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old),
Huh, I bet all those colonial buildings, plantation houses, and Native American tribal areas (like the Pueblo canyons) feel pretty stupid right now.
See, now I was gonna say, "Does she realize that the buildings aren't as old 'cause the *country's* not as old?" but then I realized she's comparing pyramids to the Chrysler building, or something. Although if she's exaggerating to make a point, then my question stands.
She really does seem to get dumber all the time...
Her nonstop blathering is the cause of global warming. They should put a cap in her ass and trade her off to another planet.
I don't see what was it in her statement that bothered you so much. Technically, it's true.
I'm from Europe. I was raised and used to live in a bulding older than the USA; about 600 years old. Old part of town, no big deal about it. Lots of those around (not a small town either). And practically no one here carries a BlackBerry ...
So why the pissed off altitude ?
You only confirms the general opinion that Americans have no respect, and are agressive toward other cultures and people.
Having lived on both sides of the Atlantic, I can vouch that at least British, French and Italian urbanites are glued to their cellular devices. And only now is texting in the US reaching the level of what Europeans were doing in 2005!
But what pisses me off is not the "old" comment, it is more her lament that Americans sell out to their work and to commerical interests more than do Europeans. Yet Gwynnie has clearly made more than her share of formulaic stinkers without any artistic merit.

Because these are stupid american assholes that hate everybody who isnt on board with their whole bullsh*t train. Shes right, yanks think an old building is 17 years old because they are morons and they got off by sitting on their blackberries (Set to auto vibrate of course because they have no friends)
..... LOL ..... Nice....mmmm.......Fuck me Gwen
