Tom Cruise gets squirted in the face. (No pun intended)

[kikimm]

All credit to Tom Cruise for not smashing the guy in the face, which is exactly what I would have done if I was in his place.

For a little water in your face? I don't think it's that big of a deal. So you wipe it off, maybe throw some back at the interviewer, and get on with your life. It's nothing to get so upset over; and DEFINITLEY not enough for these guys to go in prison, or whatever the article said. That's what isn't funny. I like Tom Cruise, but he's being a retard.

[Devourment]

I think the reason being he got hacked off about it was:

1. He was trying to give a sensible interview, but the interviewer disrepects him by squirting him.

2. He's a celebrity, so he's going to make a big deal about it, isn't he! Just to grab more attention from people.

3. It could've been anything that squirted him in the face.

But seriously, all it was was a bloody little spray of water. Fair enough it isn't that funny, but surely he has some sense of humour?! If that was me I'd just laugh it off. But then if it happened more than once, I'd start to get annoyed. But it only happened to him once, so there was no need for him to make a big deal out of it.

Did you guys watch the video? After he got squirted he very calmly asked the guy, "why did you do that?" and then called him a jerk a few times. Cruise didn't even raise his voice. I don't know where this idea that he got all uppity is coming from. He wasn't the one who arrested them, he didn't pull a Russell and throw a phone at the guy. It was a lame joke that Cruise didn't enjoy, but it's not like he made a big deal about it.

I never thought I'd be defending that arrogant nutjob.

What was the pun in the title, anyway?

[Miriel]

Eh. I think it's more innuendo than a pun.

I saw it on the news this morning. I didn't find it funny - only stupid. It was really lame. I felt sorry for Cruise in the end.

I thought it'd be a bit obvious.

It's the fact that Tom thinks he's all high & mighty 'cause he's a celebrity, so he has to make a big fuss out of it for the camera.

[Craig]

Why would you do that?

[Devourment]

I don't know, ask the interviewer.

[Loony BoB]

YOU'RE A JERK, JERK!

I think it's easy to say that he overreacted, but if you're there, talking to someone it's probably the last thing you expect to happen. It comes as a surprise and I can see why it annoyed him. Sure he may be a celebrity but I don't think anyone would like that kinda embaressment. Plus it's not really all that funny. It was funny how he reacted though, but as Miriel said, he was pretty calm about it. I think the reporter deserved that reaction.

[Itsunari 2000]

He's quite right to react the way he did -those stupid jerks ... jerks.

[Old Manus]

To be honest, who cares? If he wasn't a celebrity he would realise that this stuff happens all the time in real life.

[Nod]

It wasn't a funny prank, it was lame. My friends and I have pulled enough pranks to know what is funny and what is just crap.

Credit to him, Cruise handled that really well, remaining calm and talking to the guy who did it. I probably would have just lamped the reporter, then stepped on his face.
