guess the celeb

who said these quotes? take a guess and click to see if you're right

"from where he comes from" in the South, dogfighting isn't that unusual."

"It's like cockfighting in Puerto Rico," x said. "There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of the country."



wow. that's some of the dumbest crap i've ever heard. you know what also has deep history in the south, may not be that unusual, and is also where mike vick comes from: racism. is it indicative to the south? should we just accept that until the light bulb turns on inside a person's head?

look, i understand some people might want to defend mike vick because they feel that the media is piling on him. but, you know what, he's pleading guilty to violating federal laws. he's a high profile guy. in the most high profile sport in america. he just signed a contract for more money than he can ever spend. if you're going to defend him, try not to go with some dumb, "that's how we do," type defense. maybe talk about the nature of sentencing especially mixed with emotional cases, such as this one.

i mean, i'm not even totally against dog fighting. something about pitting two animals against each other is strangely intriguing. yet, i wouldn't endorse it, practice it, go to one, and so on. and, in a country where it is illegal, i refuse to just accept it as "this is where he's from." i do feel bad that everyone is acting like mike vick is hitler. let's put this in perspective: he was involved in killing some animals in a terrible fashion. yes, this particular species of animal is a beloved, domesticated animal. he will be punished for it. he didn't go and have his posse shoot up a strip club.

will this celeb be defending pacman jones' actions next? i mean, in the south it's cultural to go to the strip club and make it rain. and, if you roll with a posse, it's not completely uncommon for them to get to shootin.
