: I'm sorry you had a bad experience. But I don't think our teasing comments regarding Kevin's desirability compare to your being propositioned in front of your wife. We aren't propositioning Kevin, although we may be inflating his ego a bit. And again, if Jennifer is offended by it, one word and it stops. I think she knows that.
Damn straight. If it bothered either one of the Smiths, it would be dropped instantly. But I think they're both humorous & intelligent enough not to take it seriously, and I can't believe anyone else is either. We're not saying we'd really shag Smitty in the back of a Volkswagon (hell on the shocks, anyway), it's purely fantasy & entertainment. Jokes & hijinx. As I believe I've said before (and if not listen up), I don't intend any disrespect to the family and I would never follow through on my Kevin fixation. First off, the man is married; secondly, he's old enough to have fathered me in his adolescence. Third, when the hell am I going to meet Kevin Smith? Fourth, why the hell would he ever look away from the fabulous woman he's got to even notice another one? I can't see how the Smiths would find affirmations of Kevin's sexibility any more relevant than insults about his appearance. I can't see how it would matter much unless it was clearly the work of a psychotic mind.
There's nothing stalkerish or over-the-line about this; no one is implying that Special K would actually cheat on his wife. It's really very innocent, so lighten up a bit.
: : This is one of the problems, not only with this board, but the world as of late.. no one respects shit anymore. Be it a mariage, or an getting na illegal copy of a movie then having th eballs to brag about it on the directors own website..
One of which has nothing to do with the other; so if you're angry about the bootleg, direct that anger towards its source.
: Let me get this straight. You call yourself "Rugmuncher" then complain about a lack of respect? Ooookaaaay.
Actually, I don't consider rugmunching disrespectful at all, unless dude forgets to shave. Damn five o' clock shadows! Now, rugBURN, that's disrespect that's inexcusable.
