Someone needs to explain to him that the only reason he has anything at all is because he was lucky enough to be picked more or less at random for a crappy TV show a million years ago. Luck of the draw, my friend, luck of the draw.
Yes, he's terrible, but he's so perfectly terrible. As far as I"m concerned he can do any shitass thing he wants to, having immortally played "cute stupid selfish late-70s boytoy" to Jodie Foster in Adrian Lyne's debut "Foxes" with motherfucking Cherie Currie. That movie is the real goddam deal, and for having been a part of it, Baio gets a pass.
Holy carp! Cannot stop laughing about the Canadian vs US pricing on the DisneyStore item. This is 1 way Canada pays for Socialism...I'm sure US will soon too. *giggle-snort* Ah, international currency, why you gots to be so confusing?!?
@14, I think the opposite was true. It was stunt casting meant to tickle those old enough to enjoy seeing how the old Happy Days cast had aged. Ron Howard narrated the show, Henry Winkler played a dim lawyer, so who better to play another dim lawyer than the authentically, obviously dim Baio?
@17, quite so. The "younger demographic" has no idea who the hell Scott Baio is. Even the terrible "Charles In Charge" has been off the air for 20 years.
I can't believe I'm about to correct an Arrested Development joke, but I just watched one of the Scott Baio episodes. @14 was referring to Bob Loblaw saying he skews toward a younger demographic when the Bluths hire him. Which is itself a reference to why he was brought on Happy Days. I'm a dork.
One thing I didn't get about the whole Jezebel thing is... why was he even originally pissed that they posted his tweet? There wasn't any commentary associated with it, Jezebel just pulls 10-20 "interesting" celebrity tweets every day into a round up (interesting is in quotes for obvious reasons).
I mean, now, it is apparently "on", as the kids say, but why get mad that they essentially re-tweeted on their blog?
Guy gets series of lucky breaks , resulting in fame and money. Guy, who is still too young to have developed any self-awareness or sense of perspective, concludes his good fortune is earned, the result of merit rather than dumb luck. Guy adopts belief system that assures him that people get what they deserve because of a Divine Plan. Guy develops rock-solid sense of entitlement derived from this belief that he didn't just stumble across a pot of gold under a haystack in the barn, he was guided to it by the hand of the Almighty. Guy feels comfortable criticizing people who aren't as lucky as himself for being "lazy."
Guy develops bad attitude about paying taxes because he worries people who don't deserve it might get a few percentage points of a penny of his money.
Sadly we haven't heard from the most important person in this skirmish yet--- Buddy! Where is the wisdom of Willie Aames, now that we need it the most!
This is not the first time Scott Baio has lost his shit on Facebook or Twitter. Apparently he takes the internet very seriously. I guess if I didn't have a job I would too.
Scott Baio is calling people lazy? Christ, the only work he's done since Charles In Charge was some tacky reality show awhile back. A 20 odd year span between jobs does not exactly scream "Work Ethic" if you ask me.
I was actually in a movie with him when I was in high school. I was an extra in an after school special they filmed at our school. Everyone was pretty excited about him being there; my best friend was convinced that he would fall in love with her when they met. Anyhoo... I found him to be kinda short for my tastes (something they can hide in a TV show, I guess). And, I just assumed he was gay since he was a little swishy.
I have no idea who Scott Baio is (apparently it may or may not be an age thing?) but @29, I am encountering that "third base/triple" expression for the first time and I fucking love it to bits. Thank you for enriching my life.
Well I never.

All is forgiven :P

And to think there was a time (when I was a young boy) that I dreamed of being the Mrs Scott Baio.
Glad that fantasy passed long ago.
"I'm NOT racist for posting a pic of M.O. My WIFE'S BEST FRD IS BLACK,HELLO" he tweeted.
Classssic. LOL.

I hope he doesn't come after me for saying that.
