Chris Martin; Douche Bag # 1

Commercial jingle writer Chris Martin shows his true douchebaggery in an interview he did for Rolling Stone. (Excerpt below). He seems to think that the rest of the world should decide the future of our country. I’ll tell you what Chris, you just make sure on Apples eighteenth birthday she is at the marine recruiters office to sign up, and will see about giving you a vote. You little asshat, don’t you realize that a lot of our ancestors had to slaughter a lot of your ancestors just to make sure we as Americans had the right to vote?

I know a lot of Americans don’t take voting seriously but some of us realize just what had to happen during the history of this country to get that right to vote. I’ll tell you what Chris, we wont tell you how to write jingles for I-Tunes commercials and we will take care of running our on country. Deal?

From Rolling Stone:

"Chris mentions that he sees reason for hope: “As soon as Barack Obama becomes president, people will be a bit more optimistic. If Obama was to be president, it would immediately change the whole outside world’s opinion of America overnight. America’s public image at the moment is really bad. And it’s a bummer, because over half of Americans are the coolest people on the planet. But they’ve been so misrepresented… But I think that, really, the fair thing would be, in electing the American president, to let everyone in the world vote, because it affects all of us. If there was a world vote, there’s no question who would win. No question. Of course, Barack Obama is human like the rest of us. He’s going to f— up. But I’m just trying to look on the bright side. What’s the point of being negative? Where does that get us? It gets you your own radio chat show, but it doesn’t really do anything for the world.”"
