    In a few years when CGI is realistic enough, they're going to portray long deceased people in new movies and whatnot anyway, so I don't see the big deal here. #advertising

    OK, Hamilton, I'm a tad confused by your last sentence, "David Spade is available for kids' birthday parties and cheap blow-jobs".
    Is it because Spade realizes the Boys Attending Birthday Parties set is strapped for cash and therefore have a lower ability to pay for Spade-ian blow jobs? Or is it that Spade is cannily taking advantage of the Allowance Reliant set's relative impoverishment, which Spade is capitalizing on by receiving cheap Boy-ian blow jobs?

    Don't feel bad: I ran across a similar sentence on my SATs, which I got wrong (I both gave and got, figuring I'd split the difference, forgetting that they check for duplicate answers).
    Damn SAT Overlords.

    @Trai_Dep: If we're correcting grammar on defamer, let's also correct punctuation: your quote of @Hamilton reads "David Spade is available for kids' birthday parties and cheap blow-jobs". Shouldn't the period be inside of the quotation mark at the end of that sentence?

    I imagine I got this wrong on the SAT's as well... #advertising

    @mach1andy: If you think my post was about grammar nit-pickiness rather than a launchpad for Anti-Spadeian snark, you need to reread it. :D
    Good point on the quotes though: independent clauses own their punctuation inside their quote.
    And yes, we're brothers banded together in our resentment towards our SAT Overlords. Even fellatio-positive ones. #advertising

    The more I think about this, the angrier I get at David Spade. It takes a real weasel to continue to cash in on your buddy's talent years after he's gone. #advertising

    Wasn't he devastated by Farley's death for quite some time? This would be like Gyllenhaal doing a Geico commercial 10 years down the road using an scene out of Brokeback Mountain. #advertising

    Here's what I imagine was the off screen dialogue between the director and Mr. Spade directly before they shot this scene-

    David Spade: I'll do fag tricks. I'll do kink. I'll do anything you want me to do.

    Director: Now slap her. Slap that cunt.

    And scene. #advertising

    Have you seen the one where they use the Zapruder film? Jackie O. does a Zack Morris "time out" in the back of the Lincoln Continental to explain how she'd much rather be home watching old James Bond movies on Spike. Pretty cool how they use the "bullet time" effect to drive the point home.

    Mussolini and his mistress talking about how they'd rather watch "Il Conformista" on the Sundance Channel as they hung from those light poles was kind of "too ironic" for a commercial though. #advertising

    If I had friends like Spade, I'd want to be dead, too. DirectTV and Spade are graverobbers.

    Based on the annoying barrage of ads, plus the sheer stupidity of most of these (Fergie? Really?) I will never get DirecTV. How much money do they pay all these famous people to bastardize their work? Did they have naked pics of Sigourney Weaver and Craig T. Nelson? Will the next one be Leo DiCaprio popping up from the ocean and announcing, "If I had DirecTV, I would have had a reason to live! Sorry, Rose. No offense." #advertising
