George Clooney Terrified Of Angry Internet Bloggers →[More:]

From the article:

The hunk quivers at brutal critiques of him on the web...

George Clooney has decided not to search his name on the internet, because he fears reading “brutal” critiques about himself.

After suffering a negative World Wide Web experience, the Leatherheads actor admits he prefers to take the ‘ignorance is bliss’ method and avoid reading what “angry people” have to say about him in blogs.

He explains: "A few years ago, I went to check out this website that someone had talked about. There's like, a thousand people sitting in dark rooms trashing you. Brutal! You're like, 'Wow, dude'.

"You see way too many angry people (on the internet). I remember getting off the machine and thinking, 'Never, ever again'. I'd rather live in my own happy, quiet world where I think that everyone is nice."

I love when he says "I remember getting off the machine".

Hee. That's why I spend so much time here.

Yes. Clearly, someone needs to introduce George to MetaChat.

posted by BoringPostcards 08 April | 11:27

Yeah, he's just at the wrong websites. When your purpose for using the internets is Googling yourself, you might not be getting the best introduction.

It's cute that he's so sensitive, though.

He's missing out on a lot of fun! ONTD makes me hap, hapy, happy.

Finally, I've got something in common with George Clooney.

I missed the "terrified" part of that. Shouldn't it be more like "George Clooney doesn't like angry internet bloggers who say mean things about him?"

Also...internet bloggers?

Oh no! Now we will never get George Clooney to MetaChat.

*pouts*

Sorry, occhi. But I've got a real mean temper, and that "You're like, 'Wow, dude'" thing up there really steamed my beans!

Way harsh, Tai!

I mean, have you ever considered anger management? Damn.

There's nothing silly about doodifying your pants when confronted by the terror of internet bloggers in dark rooms. It's perfectly natural.

I have a feeling that we would TOTALLY embrace George, and be a good sounding board, sympathetic shoulder, rapt audience, as we (generally) are to eachother.

Shall I propose this to him? Well on second thought, maybe rainbaby, TPS, or someone equally glamorous should do it.

He'd probably love it here. As long as we ixnay with the oodypantsday.

So I'm not the only one who turns off all the lights when I get on my machine and post to my internet blog to say angry things about George Clooney?

posted by iconomy 08 April | 12:06

Nope, ico...well, except I call my machine 'the box connected to the tubes'.

Over here we call it the "word TV you can type to".

I HATE YOU GEORGE CLOONEY!

YOU SUCK!

IF YOU DARE TO SHOW YOUR FACE HERE, I'LL . . .

*pause*

Wait a minute . . . who is George Clooney?

Is he famous or something?

I swear, I just read that as "...turning up the awesomeness of our pants!"

George and I share an intimate little moment.

Ten seconds later he headbutted Col. Sanders. We all laughed.

Whoa you really look quite a bit like Colonel Sanders, did anyone ever tell you that?

Well that makes my joke even lamer that it originally was. Speaking of original, the original recipe chicken is the best amirite?

posted by iconomy 08 April | 15:12

Hey, the Colonel is wearing my glasses!

*calls tailor, orders white suit and string tie*

Also, I think George might be scared of this place, too.

I think Svetlana should contact Mr. George Clooney's personal assistant and invite him to metachat.

Repeatedly.

They terrify me too. They are truly the baddest of the asses.

I used to be able to visit Mom's basement at all hours of the day and night and feel perfectly safe and secure. Why, people didn't even lock their doors back then.

Times have changed. Mom's basement is no longer the old neighborhood that I remember.

*sigh*

At least he's only afraid of "internet bloggers", not that other kind of bloggers.
