James Franco is on my list

[Deleted]

He should be on yours too. The artist (make sure you say it all Frenchie like) also known as pretentious douchebag James Franco has been busted trying to pick up a 17 year old for sex because she posted about it on the internet. You know, as 17 year olds tend to do.

And now he's pretty much saying it's her fault.

He's the actor who played the guy who had to cut his arm off to get out from under a rock.

In our house he's known as the guy who got stuck under the mini fridge:

He's always struck me as being a greaseball.

Blerghhhh. He's been setting off my creep-o-meter for a while, and now I feel vindicated.

It's something in the eyes.

He reminds me of John Mayer. I think that sums it all up, doesn't it?

YESSSSSSSSS

And his Comedy Central Roast sucked ass.

i thought i'd heard this was a publicity stunt to promote his new movie.

[eclaires]

He has always grossed me out, but he was pretty funny in that movie This is the End or whatever it was.

That said, I figured he was playing himself in that movie and he seemed like a giant skeezeball douchebag, so this surprises me not at all. yuck.

Oh I'm sure it's the same kind of "publicity stunt" Joaquin pulled.

not OKing it.  it just the only thing i'd heard about that.  because, and i mean this term literally, i could not possibly care any less about him.  at all. 

because really, anyone who would leave AH hanging like that at the oscars deserves nothing but shit.  and i don't even like her.

Oh no, I didn't think you were. Only that like Joaquin, I would be large sums of money James Franco didn't realize how skeezy he was being, how skeezy people would find it and now he's trying to be all, no, I was just doing a thing that you are all aren't artsy enough to understand. Yup. That's it.

Hoax or not, James Franco did nothing wrong: tealeavesdogears.wordpress.com/2014/04/03/1170/

I don't know. I assume most single male celebrities have anonymous sex in this way a lot. The girl was 17, which is the age of consent in NY.

It's icky, and he's a douche, but it doesn't bother me that much.

Oh fuck no. Are you kidding me with this?? I don't give a fuck what the age of consent is, it's gross, it's predatory, and it's inappropriate.

There are all kinds of things in life that aren't technically illegal but are completely gross and inappropriate. Like adultery.

[IIOY]

People, no. This is just performance art. FYI

ETA: OK, I didn't realize the link above also joked about this being performance art. So much for my totally clever and original joke.  Womp womp.

$10 says he shows up at an event with a paper bag over his head.

He is entirely too obsessed with his own face to cover it up. Even though he has hella squinty eyes and the permadirty look about it.

[pixy0stix]

Sooo because everyone is doing it (presumably) he gets a pass too?

Ah yeah, that's true.

He should've stuck with Japanese body pillows.

This isn't adultery!  This is an adult propositioning another adult, and backing off when she says no.

Why is it gross?  Because he's older?  Because they're strangers?

You know, age of consent and everything.

In some places, the age of consent is like 15. Would that be okay? Are we okay with sex tourism in Southeast Asian countries because it's legal there? Obviously, this isn't sex tourism but there's a line somewhere. And I think a celebrity asking a 17 year old girl if she wants to get a hotel room after he's fully aware that she's 17 is easily over it.

If it was performance art from the gate, then was the 17 year old aware and in on it? Is she mature enough to understand what she was getting into? Or was she merely excited at the opportunity to gain the attention of a celebrity?

And how do people who have no problem with this feel about Terry Richardson?

Because he is twice her age and she is barely an adult. And she's not even an adult. She's merely old enough to legally consent to sex.

He ruined Tristan and Isolde for me and I can't forgive him for that. But I still don't believe this is real because he went after a girl. A GIRL.

YES! I mean the Tristan and Isolde part which was basically that Richard Gere version of King Arthur with younger people.

Boy meets girl. They fall in love. Turns out girl has to marry boy's boss. Whomp Whomp Whomp

I still believe Sophia Myles is heaven and I wish she got more roles.

he spent the entire movie looking like he was a nanosecond away from bursting into tears. Even during the fight scenes.

[cattledogkisses]

A celebrity going after a teenager half his age might not be illegal, but it still strikes me as predatory and therefore pretty skeevy.
