- bixby1, on 06/06/2009, -7/+138It's not good to overthink anything, Dumb and Dumber is not a a study of pre-egoic innocence. It's about Harry and Lloyd, trying to return a ***** briefcase to a hot chick while performing a blizzard of hysterical acts of lunacy.
I think these people are really bored. - sheeats, on 06/06/2009, -5/+51Dugg purely for the high-quality celebrity snark contained within.
And at least it sounds slightly less evil than Scientology. - TheBigL481, on 06/06/2009, -3/+45Carrey is also is an anti-vac supporter :(

It is such a shame that Jenny McCarthy turned him into what he is now. - thegrantman, on 06/06/2009, -6/+45This is simply a trend of self-discovery. It will build momentum by attracting other celebrities who have been self -obsessed with their careers and see this as a politically correct way to purge themselves of the new found guilt they feel for being successful. Wannabes and has-beens will leech on trying to gain exposure through their newly found "conscience". Millions of perpetually vicarious fans will, by habit, adopt this vacuous doctrine with no more forethought than that of changing the channel. When they begin to appear on the morning shows, they''ll have identical talking points about how they found enlightenment and discuss why they all wear the same beads, or bracelets, or necklaces, which conveniently, was "given" to them by an equally enlightened friend who sells them on his website. If you're really interested, there will be a number of celebrity books you can purchase with a token portion of the proceeds going to the cause of the day. Cue a slew of movies and shows containing the thematic purge and watch Newsweek report that people are redirecting their values away from money. Carrey, with his name in many of the credits and his hand in the till, will build a $50 million mansion featuring a japanese garden and spa which he'll describe as his special sanctuary that protects his fragile spirit from the evils of capitalism.
- GoKings, on 06/06/2009, -11/+44Are there any normal celebrities left on this earth? These people are all ***** insane. They even got to Jim Carrey...
- inactive, on 06/06/2009, -2/+35"9 p.m.: Melissa Etheridge takes the stage."
I've lost all respect for 9 p.m. - 0260, on 06/06/2009, -0/+32William Shatner.
- marmotjmarmot, on 06/06/2009, -1/+25Morgan Freeman.
- TheNyquilKid, on 06/06/2009, -5/+23Jim Carrey please go away now before you become Tom Cruise.0
- MacEnvy, on 06/06/2009, -4/+21Until there's a mumps epidemic because Carrey and his wife Jenny McCarthy convinced a bunch of idiots not to immunize their kids.
Well, okay, that's not as bad as Scientology. But still. - Yage2006, on 06/06/2009, -0/+15Indeed. Quite sickening even.

- MargotCross, on 06/06/2009, -3/+15you know, i was just thinking it's time hollywood had a new cult to kick around. scientology was so 2006.
- maliath, on 06/06/2009, -1/+13Whatever, he's a disgrace to hippies everywhere. He's 10 notches below a hippie.
Hippies don't convince people to let their kids die. - jwolcott, on 06/06/2009, -0/+11What is "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective".
Midgets & Vegetable Oil for $200, Alex. - Megalomatthew, on 06/06/2009, -0/+11You mean Liar Liar 2?
- Wavemancali, on 06/06/2009, -3/+13The real questions you should be asking yourself are, "How can I get access to these rich idiots?" and "What can I sell them to get their money before they blow it all on this New Age pap?"
- ProfessorRiffs, on 06/06/2009, -5/+15Anything found mentioning/associating itself with the piece of ***** called "What The Bleep Do We Know?" is automatically devoid of any merit.
- cambob76, on 06/06/2009, -3/+12I don't think you understand what he was getting at. Try reading some Zen literature. Or don't.
- mysmartypants, on 06/06/2009, -1/+10This is a well known Hollywood affliction, otherwise known as too much time and too much money on one's hands.
- MacEnvy, on 06/06/2009, -4/+132000 years later, this same group of followers will elect a President who claims to be the truest believer of the prophet Carrey. This President will then declare war on Iraq, claiming it is developing weapons of mass destruction.
- marmotjmarmot, on 06/06/2009, -1/+9too soon, and not funny.
- insomniacal, on 06/06/2009, -12/+20Jim Carrey: "I was no longer a fragment of the universe – I WAS the universe.”
According to Hamlet, the test of sanity is whether you can tell a hawk from a handsaw.
Life isn't the Truman Show, Mr. Carrey. You and the universe are not one and the same. - quirkopatra, on 06/06/2009, -4/+12Here's the thing. I think there are plenty of people over the years who have wanted to put out movies that energize and uplift people rather than politicized ***** guaranteed to depress. This isn't revolutionary.
- zoziw, on 06/06/2009, -0/+7They don't write about normal people...they are boring.
- bradleyland, on 06/07/2009, -1/+8My girlfriend and I rented WTBDWK back when it first came out, and I hadn't researched what the content actually was. I was kind of excited to see it, because it purported to explain complex topics like quantum mechanics in a way that was understandable and relatable. Next thing you know, a chiropractor and psychiatrist are explaining the finer points of quantum wave theory in a way that would have us believe we can change the future through thought. My girlfriend couldn't understand why I was so furious. "This is wonderful information," she said. It took me weeks to overcome that travesty of a film in her mind. "How could all these smart looking people with big titles and a motion picture be wrong?" she would ask.
The point is, not only are they devoid of merit, but they are taking us backward. Soccer moms across the nation are slurping this ***** up like it's the truth, and they're raising their kids on it. We all sit around worried about the danger of the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but we really ought to be worried about the potential effects of an entire generation of Americans who believe they can wish their way out of debt, in to a job, or a better life. - Yage2006, on 06/06/2009, -1/+8He is also one of the head figures of the anti-vax movement.
Definitely shows he does not think things through at all. - Megalomatthew, on 06/06/2009, -1/+8Pretty soon we're gonna be up to our elbows in celebrities who embrace Norse Mythology.
- DiggLord, on 06/06/2009, -3/+10People like him have much more "important" things to do like play video games, watch tv, get drunk, party...instead of discovering the true nature of the universe. It's too much work to discover the truth, and when you do you are usually brought back down again to conform with society. I like how insomniacal defines "sanity" by what a fictional character says. Reminds me of this story:
"There was once a beloved king whose castle was on a high hill, overlooking his shire. He was so popular that the nearby townspeople sent him gifts daily, and his birthday celebration was enjoyed throughout the kingdom. The people loved him for his renowned wisdom and fair judgments.
One day, tragedy struck the town. The water supply was polluted, and every man, woman, and child went insane. Only the king, who had a private spring, was spared.
Soon after the tragedy, the mad townspeople began speaking of how the king was acting ‘strangely’ and how his judgments were poor and his wisdom a sham. Many even went so far as to say the king had gone crazy. His popularity soon vanished. No longer did the people bring him gifts or celebrate his birthday.
The lonely king, high on the hill, had no company at all. One day he decided to leave the hill and pay a visit to the town. It was a warm day, and so he drank from the village fountain.
That night there was a great celebration. The people rejoiced, for their beloved king had ‘regained his sanity’ - NiftyG, on 06/07/2009, -1/+8You could go back to Buddhism to get the answer to those questions. It's the difference between pain and suffering.
Pain is what we feel when we lose a loved one or get our leg blown off. Suffering is what we add to that pain when we tell ourselves those tragic events should never have happened. The thoughts that create our suffering are those that refuse to accept (or try to deny) what happened. You can't change what happened, you can only accept it. If you don't accept it, then you continue to suffer.
The seven stages of grief also address this - the first stage of grief is denial (in other words, non-acceptance.) The last stage is acceptance. Learning to accept things as they happen will save you a lot of grief. - milomilomilo, on 06/06/2009, -3/+9Well maybe he is right.
I meant when it comes down to it we are all the same stuff. I'm made of the same materials as the rocks in my yard and the star heating our planet. The only thing seperating me from the air at the surface of my skin is a some empty space, which the matter I'm made of is comprised almost entirely of anyway, we are just bonded with a few less/more electrons in the particles that make up "ME". I'm the universe, as much as anything else is, and can only be considred a seperate entity because the emergant property that is concious though has to have a driver behind my eyes for ***** to make sense.
a gecko walking on something has super tiny hairs that literally make it part of what it is walking on (theres a name for that, when things are so close together they merge)
I'm not gonna spout on here about my philosophies, because I'm sure digg doesn't want to hear it (they usually get dugg down). But him saying he is the universe is not so far off.
We are only really just tiny pockets of the universe where the matter is extremely organized being aware of itself.
Like that joke abou the kid taking acid and discovering it. It sounds sorta looney, but it is the reality of things. - kdmkdmkdm, on 06/06/2009, -0/+6Again?
- inactive, on 06/06/2009, -1/+7I'm sure scientology didn't sound that ridiculous when it first came out. Okay, who am I fooling? Of course it did.
- MrThundercles, on 06/07/2009, -0/+6I could enjoy that.
- DivineMonkey, on 06/06/2009, -2/+8Awesome, sounds similar to buddhism. It's about time celebs got over themselves and started shedding their ego's.
- Semprini, on 06/07/2009, -0/+6Ah, a bunch of uneducated, self important "actors" who somehow know all the mystical secrets of the universe?
Gag me.
Oh, and Jim Carrey, you and your whackjob girlfriend Jenny McCarthy should be held partially responsible when kids start dying because their dumbassed starstruck parents thought your Anti Vaccine drivel was science. - cfuse, on 06/07/2009, -1/+7As much as I think that McCarthy is the evil bitch whore of Satan, I think it's fair to say that Carrey has made his own decision to be a disease and death promoting idiot.
It's a damn shame that both those selfish pieces of garbage are willing to use their fame to kill kids - is it really that difficult for them to realise what they are famous for? One is a jester and the other's a whore. - DeadBabyFloat, on 06/06/2009, -1/+6If I learned anything from Penn and Teller, it's that the quickest way to make a lot of cash for nothing is to peddle new age crap to people with too much money and not enough brains.
- CTK14A, on 06/06/2009, -1/+6I'll second that, having met the guy. He's awesome.
- jclipz, on 06/06/2009, -0/+5http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh2iyPmucFk
- quirkopatra, on 06/06/2009, -1/+5Pessimistic, yes. Funny, yes.
I think Carrey already has a mansion with a meditation garden.
But look, if they are going to make decent, uplifting movies...I applaud the effort. - Lst01, on 06/07/2009, -0/+4Adam West.
- DiggMeUpPlz, on 06/06/2009, -1/+5david carradine.......no wait....
- StickWST, on 06/07/2009, -3/+7I really want to know why people hate this "spirituality" stuff so much. Minus the ritualistic and cultural parts, one could say I'm a Buddhist, my life perspective is very similar to this "hippie cult *****". The ego is an obstacle to happiness, and trying to soften your ego doesn't make you a "stupid sheep" or some *****. This isn't some new age ***** really, these are old and entirely positive practices and philosophies. Even if you're a celebrity, you aren't harming anyone by holding these beliefs. Why do you guys give a *****?
- bradleyland, on 06/07/2009, -0/+4Confuchisa, no, I'm not saying, "our thoughts have no influence over our experience of reality here." I do believe that your experience is what you make of it. I'm an optimist by nature, but if I sat in my home, fat, happy, and playing XBox all day, I wouldn't make it far. The thing is, your "experience" isn't going to keep the lights on, even if you're content to sit in the dark, and that's just the problem. "Live in the moment" they say. Well, a moment is a very short span of time. So unless you prefer the life cycle of a fruit fly, you're going to need an enlightenment of an entirely different kind to make your way through what most would consider a normal life.
You might get the impression that I'm unhappy, but it's the subject matter that frustrates me, not life. I love life. I love my family, I love being outside, and I love job. In that order. It's just that I recognize that those components all form a balanced ecosystem that are supported by a healthy layer of pragmatism. Confucius didn't say it, but I hope you'll still recognize the wisdom in it: "Wish in one hand and ***** in the other, see which one fills up first." - cfuse, on 06/07/2009, -0/+3I wish. Odin would knock the snot out of those pussies.
- Hoogs, on 06/06/2009, -0/+3I'm pretty sure he's always been ***** insane...
- edwarddupre, on 06/06/2009, -1/+4For one, why is the writer labeling these people as Hippies?! Secondly why is this being called a CULT?!! It is far from that and I guess most people reading this and the writer are all caught up in the illusion ;).
- viper001, on 06/06/2009, -3/+6At least he isn't a scientologist
