This meme begs the question: can we get some disrespect for the President of the United States up in this bitch? Not that I don't think Barry Obama's doing an okay job and all, but he's just so godlike and serious and sometimes you just need a hipster cokehead to level the playing field a little and give you a laugh at the expense of the prez/serious political peeps from Washington DC. #cocaine
@online persona: Really? You find this funny? I just find it sort of desperate and sad. If there were any laughs to be had, they'd be at Cross's expense. I'm still hoping this was a goof, because I hate to think he's become this cheesy. #cocaine
@MissNormaDesmond: Yeah, it is dismal and pathetic. At least Will Self was was roughed up for shooting heroin on Tony Blair's aeroplane. It's really unfunny, smug, and a bid for some unearned cred for unproved "daring". I doubt the bald wimp actually did it.
And hey to Online Persona - starting your own blog has never been easier! Go write all your disrespect up in there! That no one will ever read. Or just go to FOX, for fuck's sake, if disrespecting "Barry' is what you're after. If you cannot find the massive disrespect for Obama that clearly exists on the Internet elsewhere, you're frankly an idiot. #cocaine
@MissNormaDesmond: Also it's great to see you're using your starred status so wisely. You know, to promote comments just to take cheap shots at the intelligence of others.
@Cunning_Linguist: I don't think most people are offended by this. They just think it's kind of pathetic, and those of us who've actually enjoyed his comedy on occasion are a bit nonplussed. #cocaine
@Cunning_Linguist: Who’s offended? It’s just pathetic. This is the exact kind of "look at how cool I am" stunt that David C. Ross has made fun of for years! Heck, here he goes mocking this kind of B.S. Oh snap! He’s become his DAD! #cocaine
@hardwire187000: I see people say this sort of thing, and they clearly think they've scored a sick burn or something, but it makes no sense to me. Are you saying that no one should ever discuss anything they disapprove of? #cocaine
The background: 80s teen punk fans created 90s zine culture, which evolved into hipster websites and glossies (Vice, The Gawkersphere, McSweeney's, Believer), providing a spotlight for gracelessly aging Gen X (I know Xers - like me - hate the term, which is why I use it) comics like Cross, huckster 'artists' like St. Dash Snow, and the boho boutique adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are.
Hoax or not, the Portland-Williamsburg ViceMag beardo d-bag axis has jumped the snark (not a typo) with Cross' Obama-defiling toot. #cocaine
This is nothing. Back in the 80s, Mark Russell was so coked-up, he did four hours of satirical piano ditties before an appreciative Ron & Nancy. #cocaine
As an ardent fan of Mr. Show (specifically season 4) I have always been under the impression that since the writing was so creative and ingenious, namely the way they transitioned between skits (unlike the horribly awkward way SNL ends theirs with lame repeat and fades, etc) and the humor was so multi-faceted, that the writers must have all been on some awesome hallucinogens together at writing meetings.
In 2001, I was at a David Cross "concert" (is that what you call it? "Stand-up gig"? whateva) and at the end of the show I asked him if they ever tripped during writing sessions, and he answered with some winding trying-to-be-existential answer, which I took as a hearty yes.. Being 27 at the time I was elated to find that I called it ;[] #cocaine
