Vince Vaughn Appears On 'Tonight Show' To Deceive Country About Latest Film

HOLLYWOOD, CA—Popular film actor Vince Vaughn appeared on NBC's Tonight Show Monday to brazenly and unapologetically deceive the American people about his latest movie, Couples Retreat.

"It's a really funny movie, and I think people are going to enjoy it," lied the 39-year-old performer, knowing full well that he was misleading viewers into making a decision that was not in their best interests. "It's got something for everybody."

Added Vaughn, in another willful distortion of the truth, "It's got a really fun vibe."

Sources reported that Vaughn's Tonight Show appearance was merely the latest stop on a campaign of deception currently being waged by the tall and dishonest funnyman across various media outlets. In the past week alone, Vaughn has appeared on three separate television programs and two syndicated radio programs, offering duplicitous information about Couples Retreat with no outward indication of remorse.

I still want to see the movie :)

 

We actually had a great time at church today. In Sunday school we had a great discussion on the problem of evil that was awesome.

Then the main message was based on John 13 where Jesus washed the feet of the disciples, even Judas whom Christ knew was going to betray him. This new message series is called "I am second," where we put Jesus first by serving others for God's glory. As a reminder, the pastor gave us all towels to use in serving others this week.

One of the main things I remember is asking one question at the end of each day, "Who did I serve today?"

Also, carrying around a towel all the time reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Hey kids!  Let’s play with Custer (better yet, let’s not)

via Buffalo Post:

McDonald’s is including a Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer toy in its Happy Meals.

Um, why?

Well, it’s all part of a promotion coinciding with the recent release of the movie “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.”

Um, did anyone at McDonald’s think that this might not be a good idea?

That would be a big “um, no.”

This story from the Rapid City Journal quotes McDonald’s spokeswoman Danya Proud as saying in an e-mail, “At McDonald’s, we value and respect people of all ethnicities, as well as their cultural history …. As with all Happy Meal promotions, our goal is to provide families a positive experience that can be shared by all.”

Some of the anger over the toy centers on the fact its nationwide distribution means that it inevitably will go to children on Indian reservations. Yeah, that’s pretty offensive – but so is the fact that the toy is going to children of any ethnicity. Poet Joy Harjo posted that “this is akin to giving away KKK figures or Hitler toys to children. Why don’t people get it when it comes to native people? … There’s such a blind spot in American cultural vision, or is it deliberate hatefulness?”

Sometimes, to me at least, it feels as though the sheer unthinking nature of a blind spot is almost worse.
