Hulk Hogan just before he turns green
The Really Bad Boss Celebrity Foot in Mouth Edition Vol. II
We just finished letting Jamie Foxx know that we can hear him when he says things on his radio show. Now we learn that we also have to let Hulk Hogan know that we can read the interviews he gives when they go to print. Hogan is a bit different from Foxx. He’s never won an Academy Award and the safe bet is he never will. Not long ago he was making a living tearing off his tank top and throwing people around a ring. Plus, he’s named after a a comic strip character. We really should never take anyone seriously who legally goes by the name of a comic book character. Ever.
Unlike Jamie Foxx, the bar is set lower for Hogan. Much lower. Yet he still managed to get his lip caught on it during a Rolling Stones interview. An interview that will be published in Rolling Stone magazine and subsequently read by a lot of people. So, when he, in the interview and on camera, sympathizes with OJ Simpson and admits to having thoughts of killing his ex-wife and her boyfriend, even people who barely paid any attention to him before, started giving him the side eye. Apparently this is so shocking to the Hulk that he put a sleeved shirt on and apologized. His apology involved him saying he’s “misunderstood” and how difficult it is to see his ex and her boy toy in his former million dollar mansion. Maybe one of the networks will give him a reality show so he can share more of his murderous fantasies during prime time. Or maybe they can just put him on that island with Blagojevich.
As a celebrity, giving interviews and hosting shows is what you do for a living. It’s your job. For doing it, you get paid more in one week than most Americans make in a year. Regardless of what you may be thinking at any particular moment in time, and whether or not those thoughts are legit, if you can’t control what comes out of your mouth for a couple of hours, maybe you should be in a different line of work. That goes for Foxx too. And, if as a comedienne/actor/celebrity/comic book character you feel like you are entitled to say whatever you want, then don’t come back and apologize, half assed, the next day. It’s disingenuous, annoying, and probably most importantly to you, you’ll lose the fan base that helps you make all that money. And, by then, no amount of turning green and busting out of your tank top and acid washed jeans will save you. Are we clear?
