Jason Lee

[Daisy Pusher]

OK, OK I know adult onset chicken pox is no laughing matter, but I have to weigh in on Jason Lee. I used to love this guy. He seemed obnoxious and snarky and seemed like the kind of dude you'd love to have a beer with and engage in verbal asshat-bashing. I was so disappointed to learn he is a Clam. Because in my book, being a Clam is automatic qualification as a crazy, lunatic, cultish, sanctimonious, stupid asshole. There are, for me, no exceptions to this generalization unless said cult member makes a break for it. What a bummer. I can't watch his show even just because the idea of contributing to the success of a Clam brings on the bile.

I'm kinda torn on the celebrity clam thing, because they all aren't like Crazy Tom Cruise. From what I understand, the clams treat the celebs like royalty and don't require them to do all the crap they make their non-celebrity members do. If you only kinda "dabble" in the religion I can see how getting the royal treatment every time you walk into the Celebrity Centre would be appealing.

However, I would like to think people would research their "religion" a bit and even though they don't have to do all the weird crap or pay thousands of dollars, they would be put off by what the "church" makes the other members do.

So yeah, Jason Lee and Guy-Who-Plays-Earl's-Brother lose points with me for that.

I used to like Jason Lee... but the clam thing made me stop that. I also believe that Jason is not a casual, dabbling in it clam, but a full-blown clam- he goes to all the events, etc.

It's funny- I saw a promo for My Name is Earl this week, guest-starring..... Giovanni Ribisi, a fellow clam! They sure like to stick together, don't they?

I guess this means Giovanni's brother-in-law (and fellow clam) Beck will be making a guest appearance as well.

I remember seeing in Thrasher (a skate magazine) a flyer for "acting workshops" sponsored by the Clams and featuring none other than former skater Jason Lee as a speaker. I think they were making fun of it, as well they should. I blame Tom Cruise for ruining Jason Lee. I'm so bummed that his t.v. brother is a Scientologist too.

That's why I was so glad Steve Carrell won the Golden Globe and not Lee -- positive thinking and thetan-purging can't win you awards, Lee!

You know, until I read this thread, I had no idea that it was HIM who named his kid... that name. I mean, it's a legendary one, so I knew there was some poor, hapless celebrity baby out there called Pilot Inspektor, but I didn't know it was Earl's. Or Jason's. Whatever.

The clam thing makes me so sad.

(Off topic, but does adult chicken pox really cause things such as sterility? Ouch. Off to research that now. I just thought it was extra annoying.)
