Part of me dies whenever an actor or musician opens their big gob and selflessly tries to save a third world country in which they spent two weeks shooting a film or playing a gig while living in a first world trailer. Another part of me dies when an actor or musician opens their big gob and tries to solve a major world problem with a solution of stunningly stupid, Pauline Hanson-like simplicity, that tens of thousands of experts around the globe have spent months trying in vain to fix.
Although, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer fuckwit this time.
[Russell] Crowe announced his solution to America’s financial crisis during a TV interview with talkshow host Jay Leno on Monday night…
“I have been intently watching the political process,” Crowe told Leno.
“Um, so, here’s the thing: They’re looking for $700 billion, right? Which is a good chunk of change, but have you noticed whenever you go to a bank, or whenever you talk to a government department about what you need, they’ll never actually give you all of what you need? So, I don’t think we should do that for a start.
“But I was thinking if they wanna stimulate the economy, get people spending, let people look after their … mortgage.
“I think you take the first 300 million Americans, if that’s the population at this point in time, give everyone a million bucks.”
Stick to writing shit song lyrics, Rusty.
