Woody Harrelson cracks me up


Apparently Woody Harrelson is being sued by a TMZ photographer for damaging his primary camera and pushing him in the face at La Guardia airport on Wednesday evening. He had just arrived back in New York with his daughter after wrapping up the filming of "Zombieland", his latest project.

Besides the obvious discussion about the paparazzo's respect of the privacy of celebrities and their families, Harrelson's statement about the situation, found in this CNN article, is particularly hilarious and TOTALLY worth talking about: 

"I wrapped a movie called 'Zombieland', in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character. With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie."

My love for Woody has just grown exponentially. That is awesome.

Reality exists in the Gray: an open thread

To be a committed participant is to be able and willing to engage in open debate and argument.

To engage in open debate and argument is to have a keen understanding of not only your own take on the issue but those opposing yours.

To have a keen understanding of both the black and white of an issue in debate is to, in reality, think somewhere in the gray zone that is lost in the media's form of debate.

Therefore, my question to you is this: as a committed participant in society, do the pundits on CNN, Fox, MSNBC, etc hold any value or weight of importance? If so, how should we effectively sort through the information being fed to us by these traditional media outlets? If they do not have value or importance to you, where do you get information from all angles in order to truly be equipped for real discussion and debate?

'Tis a frustrating quandary.
