Life's like this.
Sep. 11th, 2007 03:07 amI'm not going to say anything about Britney's performance, as it has surely all been said by now. But I was watching the infamous Brit-Madonna-Xtina performance the other night and I just had to LOL at sourface Avril Lavigne in the audience.
She's quite the humanitarian, ain't she? Now I've read lots of things about Hurricane Katrina, many of which were stupid or offensive or heartless but nothing quite as full of lulz as Mme Lavigne's recent (and quickly becoming infamous) "Ten Commandments" interview. Let's share:
"I am a very giving person. When the hurricane thing happened, I went to my closet, filled six boxes of stuff and said to my assistant, 'Take it to Katrina!'
My first thought: Who is Katrina? My second thought: Oh, that's fantastic. Because that's what hurricane victims need: boxes of tank tops and neckties.
Compare and contrast that with what Karl Malone did. Oh, you don't know? Maybe that's because he didn't issue a press release or get all up in your face about it. I'll let brendan at wwtdd.com drop this science:
Just as a reminder, NBA Hall of Famer Karl Malone moved 18 pieces of heavy machinery, including three bulldozers and a backhoe, into areas destroyed by Katrina, then personally spent 12 hours a day behind the wheel of a dozer, eventually clearing 114 lots for homeowners whose houses were buried under trees and debris. Avril filled six boxes with torn fishnets and blue mascara, then gave someone else vague instructions. Malone said almost nothing about it at the time. Avril still brings it up three years later, seemingly the only kind act she can think of. Karl also executed the pick-and-roll with seamless perfection during his playing days in Utah, while Avril just stood there like a fuckin stick while the ball bounced off her dopey face.
Advantage: Karl Malone.
"Take it to Katrina." Jeezum Crow.
