Well, well. Mr. Depp has retracted his anti-American carping – sort of. He had been quoted in a German magazine as saying; "America is ... like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive." He also told our loyal allies that he would like his children to "see America as ... a broken toy,” get the feel of it, and then “get out.”
But wait! No anti-American sentiment was intended! Repeat after me, “It was all a misunderstanding.”
Dipp clarified: "What I was saying was that, compared to Europe, America is a very young country and we are still growing as a nation."
I know this may come off as slightly cynical, but somehow I just don’t see his “disavowal” as conflicting with his original quotes – at least not in tone, intent, substance and (dare I say) reasoning. It’s just another reiteration of the European-style aloof arrogance and effete contempt typical of much of today’s Left. And it’s consistent with other statements of his.
I think what I’m seeing here is a laughable example of squirming. While living in France, monsieur Depp cravenly slanders his homeland, that place which has so enriched him, to a German magazine. I can imagine a frantic telephone conversation between Herr Depp and his publicist, “What the f**k are you saying?! Do you realize that Pirates is due for DVD release?”
So yes, I find myself attributing Johnny “Ditzy Chicks” Depp’s change of heart (well, words, at least) to another example of some Hollywood new-Left micro-thinker getting his skirt caught in the Internet Trap (that recently realized misfortune of traveling to Europe, thinking you’re free to trash your country in safety – hidden from the rubes and trailer trash back in the states, then finding your words embarrassingly spread around the world). So, Angry Johnny decides he needs to translate for his “dumb” countrymen, making sure their canine intelligence fully understands the heartfelt kindness of his (sym)pathetic evaluation.
One other thing: Johnny, really, lose the hat. It makes you look even more like a gay pimp.
I keep wondering why anybody, much less people from other countries, would be the slightest bit interested in the political mewling of our actors. I mean, really, don’t the Germans have something better to do than be interested in this tripe? After all, the Germans see quite good at NOT noticing things going on right under their noses.
So why pay attention to Johnny’s ankle-biting? But then again, I’ve just learned that a recent poll has shown that 19 percent of Germans believe that the US Government gave the order for the 9/11 WTC attack (nod to Michele).
So much for the vaunted intelligence of the Hun. Asshats.
