Here Is A Picture Of Charlize Theron Walking Around With A Bag Of Shit In Her Hand

I mean, whatever. She is walking her dogs on the beach. It would horrible if she didn't have a bag of shit in her hand. Just another celebrity who thinks the whole world is their pets' toilet (that is one of the biggest problems with celebrities. Probably). It makes sense and is appropriate and not weird at all that she is walking around with a bag of shit in her hand, and my point is that if anything it's respectful and respectable. But, also, we live in a really weird world, where people are photographed carrying bags of shit in their hands from hundreds of yards away by sneaky men (and sneaky women), and those photos are posted on the Internet, and strangers comment on the photos (there are multiple photos of this, the bag is prominently featured in each one) and talk about the photo, all because one time the woman who is carrying the bag of shit in the photo was in Reindeer Games with Ben Affleck. I'm not saying that you guys didn't know we live in a weird world, or that you weren't just as aware as I am that celebrity culture has gotten out of control and presents us with some very bizarre questions about our own senses of self-worth, and how we find pleasure and value in this world, and just what exactly it is that draws people to photographs of other people with bags of shit in their hand. I'm not trying to take you to Celebrity Culture Is Weird and Stupid School. We're all graduates. But this photo was, at least, a remedial lesson. With honors. (Via ONTD.)

This is why I never pick up after my dogs. Damned paparazzi! Also, insulating stool in plastic before putting it in a landfill is silly. Also, I don't have any pets.

I blame everyone but myself for this.

You do realize you just turned an accidental double post into a quadruple post right?

Either that or people are giving Gabe the silent treatment (except Godsauce, who got so uncomfortable with the slience that he just kept repeating himself hoping someone would come along and say something else.)

There was a David Sedaris story that claims this very picture/situation is what makes America great.


David Sedaris is a gay liberal New Yorker who clearly never has experienced the Baconator.

Ah, I think my comment was misconstrued. The story wasn't about this very picture, but about an older picture of Jodie Foster carrying a bag of shit. "I Pledge Allegiance to the Bag" from Me Talk Pretty One Day.

Well, that changes a lot. He's a gay liberal former New Yorker who lives in France who has never experience Le Baconator.

In college we dared a friend to eat two of these. He did not take that bet. :(

I think I speak for everyone when I say that Charlize Theron with a bag of dog poop in her hand is not what the people want in terms of animal coverage @ Videogum. I wonder what's going on with the pygmy jerboa and slow loris these days???

Wrong. The correct headline is: Here Is A Picture Of Charlize Theron Walking Around With The Script For Her Upcoming Atlas Shrugged Miniseries.

If I could photoshop I'd replace those dogs with people. On leashes. With Charlize Theron holding a bag of their shit.


Now that would've been a story.

How dare they prominently display the shit bag! They should have blurred it out?

Ok, Mr. Godsauce, Jeff Fahey is not responsible for landfiill dog poop. Heck, I don't think he even has a dog.
If they could, they would photograph and post celebrity flatulence.
