Johnny Depp Recants

Apparently, he didn't like the way his words were quoted:

Explaining his comments a day later, Depp he had been using a metaphor that was taken "radically out of context," adding, "There was no anti-American sentiment."

"What I was saying was that, compared to Europe, America is a very young country and we are still growing as a nation," he said. "My deepest apologies to those who were offended, affected, or hurt by this insanely twisted deformation of my words and intent."

Even more, he wants us to know that he actually has great love for his country.

No, really.

"I am an American. I love my country and have great hopes for it," Depp said in a statement released by his Los Angeles-based publicist. "It is for this reason that I speak candidly and sometimes critically about it. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country and for this I am eternally grateful."

Of course, he said these things from the comfort of his home in France...

Read the story.

I'm thinking he got some telegrams from Hollywood saying something to the effect of, "Please return the script we sent you -- we're re-thinking who we want to play that role."

Heh heh heh.

Probably had a strong impact on his attitude.

He loves America so much that he wants his kids to leave it after they learn how messed up it is. The man is an idiot.

STOP JUDGING PEOPLE, I think he is a great man, stop dissing him for something he might've said, stop bitching that he might not like America, WHO CARES, IT'S HIS OPINION, gee.

No. It's my site, I'll say what I want, and I'll share my opinion and open it up to criticism.

He did the same, and he is just as open for any potential criticsm.

Now, for you, stop being a stupid little hypocrite. He isn't a "great" man, he's an actor, and I'll bitch if I want to.

Now, fuck off.

Oh, Zombyboy! I followed the link over here and I haven't laughed so hard since last Thursday at 3:42 p.m.

Thank you, my sentiments exactly.
