David Bowie Has Got A Way With Five Words
Last night in NYC, the Webbys held their 11th Annual award presentation ceremony, for which winners were limited to five-word acceptance speeches. Even the Thin White Duke, who won for "Webby Lifetime Achievement Award," had to play along -- and he did so in royal fashion. Via Times Online:
Bowie, accepting his award, said: "I only get five words?", then continued: "S***, that was five. Four more there. That's three," before finishing up with: "Two," and then exiting.We're told the crowd "hollered its approval." And later, the Facebook crew put the finishing fiver on the night with their speech:
I'm just here for Bowie.Our five cents: Can Bowie get any cooler?

this is exactly why they made him evil on the venture brothers- "He's so fucking cool that he's got to be a supervillain." (http://www.reason.com/news/show/119655.html)
Score = 0
yea... he's basically evil in the Venture Brothers, but he does save the day in the second half of the season (/series?) finale
DB is a badass... but at the same time, his actual website is a bit "lacking" to say the least. The incarnation of it back around... say '96-99 was forward-thinking and entertaining
the version that's existed since then... well - hasn't been so much so. I mean - the diary and "ask david" sections don't get updated for YEARS

For everyone who believed stars from the 70s were all irrelevant, should take their ill-gotten gains and open a winery on the edge of nowhere, I submit Bowie.
Now if he would only make a new damned record...

I came here to sound cool by bringing up the Venture Brothers, but it's already done. Third season starts in 2008. Here's hoping for more Bowie.

David Bowie is my favorite Goblin King.

Q: Can Bowie get any cooler?
A: Nope. There's no one cooler than the Thin White Duke.

I'm not a huge fan of his music. But as a person, you can't get much cooler than him.
Score = 0
no, you can't get any cooler than david bowie. God don't make 'em any cooler.

No, you can't. Except maybe this morphed single creature that he and gervais are becoming, is it just in my mind? look at that grin.
