Damn it Rob Schnieder, stop looking for attention and respect. You're 15 minutes of fame will never come.

I don't understand this article. This doesn't seem relevant to anything.

Rob Schnieder is without a doubt the most pathetic person on the planet.

Ih his desperate bids for undeserved attention, Schneider continues to prove his irrelevance to the industry (and the world, in general).

Base your opinions on the content of the article. Schneider was only reacting to what was wrote about him. He defended his position, and I believe he made a valid argument. While his movies are crap, he's only retaliating against a journalist who should've had something better to write about than to attack Rob Schneider.

"Written", not "wrote".

I seriously thought that said "15 minutes of lame". Then I noticed it didn't. So now I'd like to use that.

Really though, I'm not sure who Rob Schneider thinks he is but he might as well keep thinking it, because it's probably a lot better than who he really is.

Still, having read that letter, I hate to admit that I agree with him. But he still isn't funny.

15 minutes of lame? That's the greatest thing that I've ever heard. You have to credit me now when ever you use it now, because I am pretty much responsible for it.

Is he about to find out that being a stapler is a lot harder than it appears to be?

Thanks for the English lesson Zero. I didn't know this was a critique on past tense venacular, but thanks for the correction.

haha new12, you're trying so hard.

But your 15 minutes of fame will never come and your 15 minutes of lame have already passed.

[b]Schnieder's not funny...[/b]
...but I do think he makes a good point about not having roles that are "Ethnically specific." It would be interesting. Maybe ol' Rob should give up trying to be a comedian and should take up entertainment opinion journalism.
