When I said the guy seemed like a bit of a putz, I got a lot of pushback for my personal opinion.

I'm not pleased that he is a rather Huge Putz, but I am pleased that my Asshole Radar is still working well.

That card is just NOT funny. And I'm not even talking about the "B" word on it, either--we all know about that "I'm Rick James" skit that Dave Chappelle made famous, and I'm assuming he is riffing on that thing. One could make a case that the "B" word is inappropriate in any event, skits notwithstanding, but I won't even go there as I'm sure others could make the point far better than me.

My main problem is more general--it's the implied "declaration" on the card. Only someone with a VERY low self esteem has a need to throw down and beat his chest and bellow about how important he is, even while hiding behind a so-called "joke" to do it. I wouldn't be surprised if he picked fights with people and then had a bodyguard do the fisticuffs FOR him...

This clown is rich as Croesus, you'd think he'd take the time to learn that small talent of walking humbly, speaking quietly, listening often, rather than coming off like a crass, stupid, childish boor.

I'm switching to Twitter, RIGHT NOW! nt CJCRANE Jan 2013 #1
