Talking "Funny or Die" gets owned

Background:
Will Ferrel put out a sarcastic hit (using a bunch over-paid actors) on the insurance companies . .. and their over-paid exec's.

Original here

"Funny or Die" has pulled all the uTube versions of their original after this parody went up...





Owned.

Gotta love this interweb thang.

I don't understand... If an actor makes a lot of money in a competitive marketplace for talent, how does that make him/her overpaid?

It's the hypocrisy here. Will Ferrell has no business saying ANYONE is overpaid . . .esp right after that stinker movie "Land of the lost." .....and how much Will Ferrel was paid?

The bigger point is that celebrities are FAR from experts on politics. Yet they are SO freaking arrogant and self-righteous. --got owned for it this time.

Another point is that when taxes get jacked up for something new that some ******* politician dreamed up as a good idea, it's always the middle class that gets screwed the most because they have less room in their budget for government BS.

It's easy for a Will Ferrell to lay out a few more taxes... so easy that he and his outraged ******* buds don't even consider what it would be like to try to live on what most people in the middle class live on.

Hey, Will... would you be willing to live on... say... $75K a year and see what it feels like to have your taxes go up another 10%... in addition to your utilities and everything else going up?

Hypocrisy indeed.

"Celebrities keep us informed; so we don't have to ask silly questions..."

You must be really liking that "Change we can believe in"

...or is it the actors that you think need protecting?
