Should famous people be nice to other famous people?

The single most important question of this moment in time – Should famous people make less fun of other famous people?

Pish Posh. Malarky. That’s such a cockamamie waste of time.

Seriously… we were about to have a lovely, intelligent, mature conversation about gun control, weren’t we?

I relish & adore that gentleman’s contempt for his peers. I *love* it.

(It’s performance art people. There were comedians like Andy Kaufman, for chrisssakes. Think about it. Do you think he cares about their respect?)[MORE great moments from Gervais, and one of best performance art moments of all time… Stephen Colbert roasts GW Bush.]

I like how Mr. Badass Downey rolled with it. Well done. Gotta play ball, as it were. Wait wait… did you think he was serious?

You know what it reminds me of?

Another historic piece of brilliant comedic performance art. Arguably the best of the last 5 years, if not of all time.

These guys will go down in history, when history gets enough perspective to get it.

Here’s some of the crap they ended up generating. I’m not going to hyperlink it because they don’t need my inbound link, and because you don’t really need to read it.
