They know when they've gone viral

Earlier today, Gian Ghomeshi, AKA The Persian Guy from Moxy Fruvous, hosted Billy-Bob Thornton AKA The Former Mr. Angelina Jolie on Q, his daily Arts & Culture radio show on the CBC. Billy Bob... Billy Bob had emotional issues.

Apparently he's disavowed any knowledge of having been an actor (Most folks call it being a pompous ass, I reckon) and took umbrage wiht being mentioned as such.

The blowup (as it were) has gone a bit viral, even finding its way to the HQ of class, TMZ.com.

Well, I hopped over to Q-TV to check it out (see the video above) and as I started recharging my iPhone, I noticed that the Q Podcast was downloading. Now, I don't know what the normal turnaround time is for the Q Podcast, but it appears this is strictly BBT's blowup.

So, yeah, the CBC appears to be keeping on top of this. Good for 'em, I figure.

Pompous? Maybe.

Messed up on narcotics? Almost certainly.

Ouch! That is the most painful interview I have seen in a long, long time!

BBT is the man, though. Bad Santa was a work of uninterrupted genius. Likewise Man Who Wasn't There. BBT is crazy enough to be the man, though, and that can't be easy.

Just... keep him away from any sling blades, okay?

That's pretty much default for him, though.

I reckon.

You know, if I was trying to interview a band and a member of said band acted like Billy Bob did, I would never talk about them again.

As it is, having him act that way pretty much guarantees that I will never listen to this band.

What a dick.
