Here is part of an interview between Amy Goodman of Democracy Now and
actor-cum-liberal activist Mark Ruffalo. I want you to read this
passage and then guess how Ruffalo's sentence ends:
AMY GOODMAN: How dangerous is it or popular is it to
speak out in Hollywood?
MARK RUFFALO: I'm terrified, really, to be honest with you. I
know that a lot of people in Hollywood feel the way I do. A lot of
people who have come out, have been, you know…
So, what terrifies Ruffalo? Is he scared that actors are receiving
death threats? That the jack-boots in the Bush Administration are
threatening to "disappear" the likes of Ruffalo? Here's the end of
that sentence:
...severely maligned in the media, this crazy liberal
media that we keep hearing about. They come down like a hammer to
people who speak out, especially from Hollywood.
The media is criticizing Hollywood?!?! OH NOOOOO!!!!!! How will
people like Ruffalo ever survive? This has got to be as bad as when
Ruffalo finds out that the restaurant he just arrived at doesn't
serve Dom Perignon. No wonder he's panicked.
