- Sandwiches_Time, on 10/12/2007, -6/+108I love how all of the people who called it fake in the original Digg story got dugg down.
- hipnerd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+86To be fair, he didn't "fake his own death." He made a movie where he pretended to fake his own death. No one actually thought he died.
On a related note, he also did not find an unfrozen caveman in his neighbor's back yard. - daRoach, on 10/12/2007, -2/+50But he did wreak actual havoc in a bio-dome.
- oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23the guy's nickname is weasel, what were you expecting?
- dime, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Now I'm pissed at Pauly Shore for ***** with my emotions.
LET'S KICK HIS ASS! - iceperson, on 10/12/2007, -9/+29"And I love all the Texas bashing that went on in the previous thread. Now who is the idiot? YOU ARE."
The crowd thought the redneck was serious and laughed when he 'hit"pauly. I think it's safe to continue the Texas bashing. - fleischner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19@idmfx
Heh.
Segway: two-wheeled motorized personal vehicle
Segue: a smooth transition from one scene or thought to another
I guess you could use either in this case... - rangermatt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18@software
No, you were both dugg down because saying "I like Pauly Shore" or "I don't like Pauly Shore" contributes nothing to the discussion. What if everyone replied with a comment stating whether they liked Pauly Shore or not? - Unitarder, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Biodome: Two men enter, no one laugh!
- silverbax, on 10/12/2007, -7/+19And all those people bashing Texas and Southerners...what knee-jerk reactionaries...
- alexthemonster, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Nobody wins in Biodome.
- flipzmode, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12@Software2
I didn't realize the word "Biodome" was an opinion?? - neutrascrub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11naa aaah, it was real, i saw it on the internet
- daeyeth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9certainly was his best acting since Biodome, I'll give him that
- neuroplasma, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10I guess he got the attention he wanted.
- idmfx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9But what was it designed for? It wasn't funny or anything.
I guess a segway to leave? - ktchpmn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8i still think cowboys are *****
- Satchel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Seriously, ease off on the exclamation points. Do you really want your headlines to look like eBay auctions?
- DigiRaven, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I love it the fact everybody on the other comments mentioned "this is so typical of the south and southwest"
HA,. Bunch of ignorant diggers. - SimplyZ, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6so you're using a paul mooney joke...
it wasnt funny when you said it - Winters, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10Considering that it was staged, I'm really surprised that was the best he could do.
- spidaman009, on 10/12/2007, -22/+27Plus its not very surprising because he's from California. California, as we all know is only full of liars and wack jobs looking for attention. Jeez, they are the lowest common denominator and are just plain idiots. Everybody in California is stupid and ignorant. This one incident with Pauly Shore proves it.
Now lets see if I get dugg up for making sweeping generalizations like everyone did about Texas and the South. - Doghound, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Publicity stunt.
- ramallama, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Remember, it's in Odessa Texas where you "save the cheerleader, save the world!"
- zionKing, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6@iceperson
"it's safe to continue the Texas bashing"
GAADMD, but it's amazing to me the same Diggers who in one breath decry bigotry and America bashing will in the next villify the Southern U.S. as "retarded rednecks" and "agro idiots" etc. The managment knew it was real, the audience could see the punch was fake, and Pauly's exploitation of the cowboy-bigot image earns him a little time in the limelight. It's not the first time we've been tricked by Hollywood. After all they've sold us long ago on the idea Southerners are ignorant rednecks, right? Wrong. Bigotry, no matter how mainstream, is never okay. If movies were made in Atlanta instead of Hollywood, how do you think Californians would be portrayed? - iceperson, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8"There were plenty of people that didn't fall for this."
Unfortunately they weren't in the crowd. Pauly baited the rednecks into showing what they really are. - mbell000, on 10/12/2007, -8/+12Looks like all those "stupid neanderthal redneck" Texans get the last laugh!
LOL - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10And I love all the Texas bashing that went on in the previous thread. Now who is the idiot? YOU ARE.
- Toast1185, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I heard that the only thing that comes out of Texas are steers and queers. True?
- ,,|,_, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5richpav - Odessa is a *****. I grew up there... 48 year old women there have Myspace profiles!!!! The reason this was believable is because the only things to do in that god forsaken place is to go to work, get drunk, and then get in a fight.
/usually in that order - felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I like how the mother-in-law tries to convince us they're not a bunch of dumb hicks by writing a letter filled with enough grammatical and spelling mistakes to sound like it was written by a junior high school girl.
- hotpepper, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3http://youtube.com/watch?v=GtrBZJ9pYC0
- ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4People didn't know this was fake?
- CluelessTroll, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I do have to admit though, it's about time "The Weasel" made a comeback.
- priapism, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2So are all those people who, in the previous thread, vowed to move out of Texas because of the redneck cowboy's actions now unpacking their bags?
- kavaliro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I thought it was. He didn't get hit; the guy's fist never came close to hitting him. I was surprised that the vid had a slow motion of it. You can clearly tell, especially the second time it's shown.
- dnite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Did anyone actually watch that video??? The one that I saw LOOKED fake.. and whoever 'released' it, slowed down the punch like it was some big deal or something.. but.. there wasn't a doubt in my mind, that the guys fist never came close to touching pauly. Not saying that I could tell it was a staged hoax or anything, but it really did look like Pauly dodged him pretty well before he walked off stage pretending to hold his jaw...
- CluelessTroll, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Pauly Shore video a fake!!!"
Thank you Mr. Obvious! - RockMyMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6I think the reason so many fell for this is because of how lacking security is at these shows.
- Aspasia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2But seriously, I have the misfortune of living in Odessa, Texas and I can confirm that its a city full of idiotic rednecks. I'm positive no one in the audience knew that it was a ploy and still everyone was shouting for the man to hit Pauly Shore. That's the kind of cheap entertainment people in this city live for.
- freff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Why do you care? Seriously, you hear people complain about the digg down effect all the time, but why take it personal? It's the nature of this site, and when you leave a comment, you become part of the system. Just say what you have to say, and if you get dugg down for it, oh well. Someone read it, and it effected them enough that they felt the need to respond. Unless you wrote something truly stupid, don't worry about it. The digg down is nothing to bitch about.
- hiPpymIck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1so did i -but here we are now on an accurate thread just a day later
iguess that how digg works
its wisdom of crowds takes a little time sometimes
and guess if people dont like something (big bullies)
theyre going to express it - merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Was Pauly making fun of the Kraimer incident?"
I'd put my money on "Pauly was attempting to capitalize on a phenomenon that generates substantial press for irrelevant comics like the Richards incident" rather than "making fun of".
3 step guide for irrelevant comics:
1) Post crappy phonecam vid of extreme behavior on youtube
2) ???
3) Bask in your last 15 seconds of infamy - petroK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1^^ this is correct... I am frum 'round there too ^^
(I actually almost went to this show...damn.) - And0, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3It makes complete sense to fake this. I mean, who among us has heard ANYTHING about Pauly Shore in the past five years?
Other than his guest appearance on Futurama, of course... - Guder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Funny thing was that Paulie getting hit actually made the late night circuit last night.
- vhold, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Original news release, without the retype/rebrand of TMZ:
http://www.odessapd.com/NewsReleases/docs/pauly%20shore.pdf
The whole idea of uniformed police officers being "employed" while "off-duty" is disturbing to me. - poorbusker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i knew it was fake from the first time I watched. I mean come on, didn't we all know Pauly Shore was a ***** actor, no matter what role he was playing?????
- charlietuna, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If he was going to stage something, you would think it would be entertaining. Setting up a scene where someone punches you out hardly compares to "War of the Worlds".
Shore is washed up - so to speak. - timtipton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1if you live in Odessa, please reconsider your comment - being that the demographic for the town is about 68% Hispanic, it is obvious that the city could not be FILLED with idiotic rednecks. That is not to say there are some there - but hey, every town has its problems, right?
;)
Polly Shore is past his prime, and just needs to realize it now. The 'stunt' was stupid anyway, but if it had been pulled in NYC you'd all be finding names for those people too. Or maybe it would have been funny then? -
