The Fool

Stars respond to tragedy in different ways. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Anderson Cooper became a hero, Audioslave wrote a shitty song, and Mr. T ... is taking his chains off.

"It would be a sin against my God for me to wear all that gold again because I spent a lot of time with the less fortunate."

Wait, that gold is real?

"I saw some, I call it 'sorry celebrities.' They'll go down there and hook up with the people to take a photo-op. How disgusting," Mr. T continued, before reminding everyone to watch his new advice show "I Pity the Fool" on TV Land.

I met T a few years ago. He didn't break character.

An oldie but a terribley:

wait, does T implicitly approve of fat jokes there? i never really thought about it.

also, what does the "TR3" on the belt buckle mean? Teddy Roosevelt the Third?

this video is very super bowl shuffleish. Which came first? because one clearly influenced the other.

Mr. T isn't doing a "character". He's so real he's hyperreal.
