all right, let's get down to it.
seriously, nicolas cage, i understand that you're weird and wild and everything, but what the fuck is
kal-el about? i understand that it's apparently the birth name of superman, but what in the hell made you think that it is acceptable to name your child that?
i don't know if anyone who reads this remembers my whole "i'll get nicolas cage to help me out because we're tight like that" complex, but i'm seriously reconsidering him as my right-hand man because of this.
why do celebrities think that it's okay to name their kids ridiculous things? just because they have lots of money does not ensure the safety of their child on the playground.
let's have a look.
gwyneth has
apple.
rachel griffiths has
banjo.
arthur ashe has
camera.
jamie oliver has
daisy boo and
poppy honey.
toni braxton has
denim.
ving rhames has
freedom and
rainbow.
damon wayans has
fuddy.
michael hutchence had
heavenly hirrani tiger lily.
frank zappa had
moon unit one and
dweezil.
penn jillette (penn & teller) has
moxie crimefighter.
jason lee has
pilot inspektor.
jonathan davis has
pirate.
todd rundgren has
rebop.
erykah badu & andre 3000 have
seven.
john mellencamp has
speck wildhorse.
some of these names are downright ridiculous.
camera?
pirate?
speck wildhorse? honestly, why in the world would you name your child
moxie crimefighter? what's wrong with
jane? i think that is a perfectly acceptable name. or
bob. there aren't enough
bobs anymore.
fuddy is going to get beat up on the playground, i assure you.
denim is going to come home with emotional scars.
rebop will become a social outcast, and
poppy honey will develop voices inside her head. however, i'm sure they will all get over it when their parents dry their tears with a crisp benjamin, while i sit here with my normal name and wipe my financially insecure tears away with cheap kleenex. fuck that. maybe i'll change my name to
lamp shade and see how that furthers my career.
i guess i owe some sort of a
weekly 5.
