Tom Hanks and his "Manhood"

The following is a quote from Tom Hanks, who lately, in interviews promoting his movies, has said some of the most stupid things I've ever heard.  I'm sure he thinks he's just hilarious.

"I'm glad I didn't have to fight in any war. I'm glad I didn't have to pick up a gun. I'm glad I didn't get killed or kill somebody. I hope my kids enjoy the same lack of manhood."

I guess what Tom was saying is, I didn't have to be a man in real life, but got to play one in the movies.  Let's see...how many times did he pretend to be a soldier shooting those big Hollywood guns?

What a great guy.  Or I'll just pretend he is.

How lovely to be able to play act at being a man and then mock the ones who put their lives on the line day after day.  And how lucky for Tom and his kids that other men, women and their children are the ones doing the heavy lifting so he can continue pretending for a living.

Yet another actor I once liked that I'll never be able to watch again without thinking about what comes out of his mouth when he doesn't have a writer or teleprompter.

Jerk.
