Sockpuppet Friday—the Scarlett Says “No” Edition

As usual, you are positively encouraged to engage in sockpuppetry in this thread. The usual rules apply.

And remember: the worst sin you can commit on this thread is not being funny.
——————————-
And for this week’s Friday frivolity, do you remember how a marine asked out Mila Kunis and got her to go the Marine Corps Ball, and she said yes? You might even know that Justin Timberlake also agreed to go with a woman in the marine corps. Well, apparently Scarlett Johansson is saying “no” to another marine:
Unlike Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake, sexpot actress Scarlett Johansson declined an invitation to the Marine Corps Ball.
Johansson, who was asked to the major event by Sgt. Dustin L. Williams, wrote in a statement to Zap2it that she was moved by the military man’s gesture but unable to accept due to some other plans she’d made.
“I feel incredibly honored to have been invited to the Marine Corps Ball by Sgt. Dustin L. Williams,” the actress wrote. “Not only does Sgt. Williams deserve recognition for his bravery, selflessness and dedication to the United States and its people, but he also displays a cheeky talent for film making. Sgt. Williams, unfortunately due to prior commitments I will not be able to attend the Ball with you this year.”
The 26-year-old “He’s Just Not That into You” star did, however, offer some drinks.
“I am sending you a case of Moet and Chandon with gratitude,” Johansson continued. “In my absence, I raise a glass to you and all the men and women of the U.S. Marine Corps, past and present, in thanks for your continued commitment to preserving the safety of our nation.”
Truthfully, while it is always cool when a celebrity does a thing like that for our fighting men and women, they shouldn’t be expected to say yes to every person who goes on the internet asking them out even if that person is a Marine. So I suspect she could go if she wanted to but just decided she didn’t want to and I am cool with that. But on the other hand, you have to feel for the guy to know what he is missing out on…
(Rule 5 is in effect, ya’ll.)
By the way, speaking of Avengers, you can watch a little footage from the Avengers movie here, but be warned it spoils some of the end of Captain America (although bluntly, about 50% of the people going to see that movie already know what it spoils). Man, if they manage to put that together with a reasonable plot…

Okay in truth, I am busy the day of the Marine Corps Ball with my stud muffin, Aaron Worthing. That is if I can keep that slut Grace Park away from him.

I don’t dance with sheep. I bugger them. Underage and not consensual. And goats.
william yelverton (306f5d) — 7/29/2011 @ 7:46 amThe real reason I will not accept the invitation to the Marine Corps Ball is because I’ve been with Sean Penn. Need I say more?
Scarlett (43c312) — 7/29/2011 @ 8:24 amIm trying to save life as we know it on this planet from these middle earth Tea Party Hobbits. And you know they must really be hobbits ‘cause McCain has seen me in person.

Spartacvs (26be8b) — 7/29/2011 @ 9:13 amWe at the Tea Party think purity is important. Ideological purity of course but also racial purity though we’d rather not comment on the latter at the moment.
The Tea Party (0692b1) — 7/29/2011 @ 9:14 amLook, we don’t want no congress yanking our slush funds. History plays and whitey pays. Got it?
Valerie, Michelle, Van and Cass (6d8a47) — 7/29/2011 @ 9:16 amSlander, its all that the Democratic Party has as a platform. That’s all we offer to the American public. Slander.
Certainly responsible government is the last thing we want to have anything to do with.
Spartacvs (26be8b) — 7/29/2011 @ 9:17 amWhen the alternative is between a recovering “socialist” America and a bankrupt conservative one, we at the Tea Party have no difficulty choosing the right option.
The Tea Party (0692b1) — 7/29/2011 @ 9:19 amWe do all the talking for Scarlett.

DohBiden (d54602) — 7/29/2011 @ 9:43 amI do not understand you Americans. you call yourselves the land of opportunity but you ignore them when you are presented to you.
George Soros (25e27f) — 7/29/2011 @ 9:52 amDebt is an opportunity to gain profit and destroy your competitors. Look at the profits I made destroying the British Pound!
I crush banks and currencies and create uncertainty for a living. When the cattle begin to panic because of the uncertainty I profit.
Anyone can profit like I do. You only have to buy an incompetent politician and a handful of journalists and voila!
The funny thing is how cheap journalists are. Comcast paid 13 Billion for a failing NBC. I bought NPR for a measly 2 million. Then NBC parrots what I put out through NPR! Idiots! I get a 2fer! Not to mention that all the networks spout the trash I put out through Media Matters! Even Fox! I will crush Murdoch for the price of a villa for my mistress.
Opportunities like that are everywhere and you ignore them.
Land of Opportunity? Pah!
Our “leader” is not getting his beauty rest so it’s time for the R-words to stop fooling around and give him what he wants. The butterfly-in-the-bedroom is only going to work for so long before addiction sets in.

The REAL William Yelverton (6732f4) — 7/29/2011 @ 10:58 amMaybe your cats should meet my cats? They seem to have a lot in common.
Lee Stranahan (c8876d) — 7/29/2011 @ 11:01 amEver notice that Lee’s cat is the loudest when one of Lee’s detractors is in the middle of making a point? It’s almost as though Lee is petty and dishonest.
Also, I am pretty sure the cats were hacked by the same hackers who hacked my Coca-Cola.
Furthermore, it’s just a coincidence that I’m obviously lying all the time in such a way as to aid the people I work for who are trying to scam lots of people.

Andrew Sullivan (3e4784) — 7/29/2011 @ 12:49 pmWell, if some Rethuglican-voting Marine asks me to the ball, he will be very disappointed.

John Paul Jones (dd399a) — 7/29/2011 @ 1:37 pm#17 Anders Breivik is not one of us. Definetely. Absolutely. Completely. I mean, that guy shot 76 people – and none of them was a Muslim!
Although no list of the dead I think has been published, actually some of them should be Muslims. About 10% of the children in that camp, belonged to immigrant minorities, although some of those came from non-Moslem countries.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/29/world/europe/29norway.html
“The young people Mr. Breivik shot at a summer camp on the island of Utoya were all Norwegians, but some were the children of immigrants..”
There was maybe a bit of a quota at that camp.
By the way, this was supposed to be the smaller massacre – Breivik actually expected his bomb to work as planned and kill lots of people in government headquarters. But he’d learned his bomb making techniques over the Internet.
Sammy Finkelman (d3daeb) — 7/29/2011 @ 1:46 pmThe United States Navy traces its origins to the Continental Navy, which the Continental Congress established on 13 October 1775, by authorizing the procurement, fitting out, manning, and dispatch of two armed vessels to cruise in search of munitions ships supplying the British Army in America.
Son of a Sailor (a08880) — 7/29/2011 @ 1:54 pmSon, it was a rhetorical question linked to the status of “Kathy”, who would be perfectly acceptable to a Navy man to accompany him to the Navy Ball (if they had one).
