Depp Retraction
Johnny Depp is dancing a little sidestep about his anti-American remarks.
Explaining his comments a day later, Depp said he had been using a metaphor that was taken "radically out of context," adding, "There was no anti-American sentiment."
"What I was saying was that, compared to Europe, America is a very young country and we are still growing as a nation. My deepest apologies to those who were offended, affected, or hurt by this insanely twisted deformation of my words and intent."
Yeah, I can see how your statements about being happier living in France and how your kids should "see America as a toy, a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out" were like totally misinterpreted.
Got a call from your agent, didn't you?

At least he has the sense to realize that he screwed up, even if it required a possible risk to his checkbook.
More than I can say for Flathead Garofalo.
Okay, I can go back to watching his movies without being too worked up anymore.

It still chaps my shorts that he was perfectly happy to take the benefits without the responsibility.
