The Sperminator

[jonny88]

Eliot Spitzer went down pretty hard. Then again, half of New York had been prosecuted by him for making too much money. He had it comin'.

and now he has his own show on CNN.

More ouch.. and this is besides his Son Patrick Schwarzenegger going by Patrick Shriver now...

Schwarzenegger announces new projects are now on hold which means, in Hollywood speak, Studios now fear risking investing in projects with him at the moment. One of these projects is the "Governator" animated Series which is aimed at kids. Anyway, toldja...

who really cares. this is an old Hollywood story. same thing again and agian. he just has to go on damage control for a little while, then he will be able to do what ever he wants film wise.

in a year there will be poparazzi pics of him with his love child and people will say "look Arnold is on a stroll with his son isn't he a great dad". that's how it usually goes.

I'd be willing to bet that it has more to do with Arnold wanting to get things buttoned up in his personal life than studios backing out. If anything, with him in the media at the moment, it makes him an even hotter commodity. Bad press is still press.

I still think the thread title is just hilarious.

What scares me is how many people give a crap about the private matters of people they've never even met.

That's an "opinion" piece. Watch the news, bud. It's Arnold's lawyer that issued the press release saying he'd personally postponed all projects until private matters are resolved.

How long have tabloids been around again? Inquiring minds want to know.

Mostly sad for Maria......anyway I think hes bit too old now for action films.

I'd bang the help too if I was married to Skeletor

He picked her. He swore an oath to be faithful to her.

I would agree with this but I would add a caviat that it's also an entitlement issue. Tiger Woods for example felt he could cheat with whomever because he was Tiger Woods, plain and simple. It doesn't really take much in terms of means especially depending on what kinds you attract or have around you. I have an aunt who owns a few bars in San Francisco, successful, not world known by any means but the places are packed every night. She lives very well, her adult son felt that because mommy was rich, he could use the bar as his own personal e-date and banged everyone from patrons to bartenders to waitresses to even some reps from the liquor companies. He currently has 9 kids, all out of wedlock, and it feels like a new one comes out of the woodwork every few years. The newest one appeared at his doorstep only three years ago. All tested and all his.

One of my other uncles asked him "why does he go around shoving his ____ wherever it'll fit" once and he simply replied "that he was a bachelor and not doing anything wrong." In his own little world it is seriously owed to him because his mother is rich, he has absolutely nothing in his name from his home to his car so he doesn't even pay support for the most part because he has no income. It's a case of full on entitlement mixed with his own moral code.

If that stuff happens to him, easy tail because they are waiting for the moment my aunt dies to get a payday from inheritance and he is a nobody, I'm sure when you mix celebrity and actual wealth there are more than plenty opporunities to screw up.

It isn't money that makes people feel more entitled, it's POWER. Money and power are often related, but are not the same thing. Tiger woods is rich, but he also feels powerful. THAT makes him feel like it is ok for him to have whatever he feels like. There are some rich people who don't feel powerful, and thus don't feel this entitlement. However, there are plenty of poor people who feel powerful, who feel LOTS of entitlement. There are lots of financially poor guys having just as much if not more sex than rich guys. Money can make some people FEEL powerful, and therefore entitled, but it isn't the money that makes people feel entitled, it's the power. A lot of poor athletes feel entitled because they feel powerful. A lot of poor musicians feel entitled because they feel powerful. A lot of really good looking guys feel entitled because they feel powerful, and they want to express that power. This brings us to politicians. Politicians are people who are obsessed with power, which is why they are so frequently involved in sex scandals. Being a politician doesn't pay that much compared to other jobs that are less stressful. There are very few nice people who are elected officials, because most good people want nothing to do with politics, because there is so much moral compromise involved in it that it is too unsavory.

It's funny to me that Shriver has reacted like this. I mean she comes from one of the most philandering families to ever exist. She should have seen it coming. I mean Arnold once said in a interview that, "Eatin' ain't cheatin'." That should have summed up your future husband there.

Apparently it never occurred to her that this is why she was so attracted to him.

 

[devilof76]

Power? I think it's something dirtier than that. Power is a fig leaf.

What they want is approval.

Some woman like the bad boys and they are aghast when it comes back to bite them on the ass.
Well, welcome the real world Maria.

(But Ahnuld is still a self centered prick.)

 

[devilof76]

Is the problem being centered upon their self, or is the problem the quality of their self?

 

[Spartan Rex]

Hmmm.....Deep man, deep.

Both.

 

[devilof76]

What would it matter if his self was of high enough a quality that he'd only marry a woman who was a reflection of his highest values? Would a man with that kind of self-respect blaspheme his greatest achievement on a woman who didn't measure up to that standard? And would he still be centered on his self if he abandoned his highest values for the lesser opportunity?

I don't think self-centeredness is the problem. For one, whose brain did you use to come to that conclusion? Someone's other than your own? Or were you too self-centered to let another person's judgment supplement your own?

I think youre getting a little too esoteric.
Self centeredness is the problem if he couldnt think beyond is own johnson or what ever id driven tendencies he lets reign in his life.
Whatever physical, emotional or psychological itch Arnold thought he was scratching by screwing the maid seemed to supersede any
potential negative consequences with his wife, children, fans, voters and business partners.
Given his fame, that is alot people to shove aside in your mind to pursue what amounts to a fleeting moment of pleasure. Amazing.
He thought only of his own self gratification. Did Arnold really think he was so "important" in the grand scheme of things that he wouldnt
have to deal with the fallout or did he simply not care?
The mind set is interesting to me.

 

[devilof76]

It's not esoteric. It's just emotions, and emotions are just an automatic reaction to stimuli based on a person's sub-conscious value-judgments.

Yeah, it was probably his self that reacted positively to the chance to have sex with the maid, but are you saying that the only good reason to not have sex with the maid is because what other people might think?
