Genius & Ludicrousness
If there is one draw to being a celebrity, it’s that you can do almost anything you want and people will explain it away as genius or brilliance.
Celebs can get away with murder (sometimes literally), but the average folk have to take heat for their ludicrousness.
What gives?
Consider the following scenarios:
1. A guy places a leaf on the dashboard of his car and names it Roderick.
Celeb – Genius, and a way to prepare for a role in an upcoming film.
Me – Ludicrous and possibly wreaks of old Jack-in-the-Box burgers.
2. A guy walks around using different accents, talking only to himself.
Celeb – Brilliant. This guy is obviously a method actor, and he wants to truly embody the role in his upcoming film.
Me – Ludicrous and possibly run the risk of being hospitalized.
3. A guy walks into a coffee house, orders a drink and walks out without paying.
Celeb – It’s expected. The guy serves mankind with his talent and his portrayal of desperate characters in an upcoming film.
Me - Ludicrous and possible experience of a spear-tackle by a chaffed barista.
4. A guy wears an over-sized shirt adorned with stains. For pants, he wears a grungy pair of over-sized thermal underwear. Also, he rarely showers.
Celeb – Creative genius, with the heart of a hippie and the mind of a poet. He might also be preparing for an upcoming film.
Me – Ludicrous, and will most likely be dragged off to the nearest high school shower where a serious hazing and forced shower would occur.
What is the most ludicrous thing you have ever seen a celeb do or say?
