Yes, of course there is being the world policeman thing. OK. I think wearing the shirt is rather insignificant relative to everything else.

Does Russell Crowe make Australia look bad when he throws a phone at some hotel worker in NYC or does he just make himself look bad?

Anyone, from any country, who finds anything Snooki Polizzi does to be significant in any way, shape, or form, is not worth stressing over.

I've witnessed this up in VT as well. THe kids watch this mental pablum and then engage in that behavior.

To wit: We stepped out of a movie theatre into the night air. A teenage boy was chatting on a cell phone and said, "I'll be hanging on the farm, chillin with my peeps. Aiiight?"

I was crying laughing. Drop Homie into the the real hood and this kid would be crapping his pants.

There's a difference between a bad action here and there and being a walking disaster area. Crowe might occasionally do bad things but he's definitely not a piece of crap like the jersey shore punks.

This concludes World History 101.

He physically assaulted an innocent person. Snooki is a drunk, attention seeker, probably a ****. One is a piece of crap and one isn't? OK.

As a whole who would you rather be associated with as a country? I'm sure just about everyone would say Crowe.

True. But, like I said, I don't really think it is a big deal.
