but the article never actually quotes him as saying that. you can't just go around paraphrasing people and expect it to have the same meaning.

also, you know who else thought hitler was a good person?

The World Entertainment News headline: Smith: "Hitler was a good person"

The actual article: Smith: "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today.' I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'."

/great journalism there.

"I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming."

I can agree with that.

why do you love hitler?!?

He says, "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today'.

"I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming."


Translation: Hitler needed a "free stress test" and his thetans removed.

Is it that farking difficult to write,' WILL Smith'?

It's only 4 letters more. It would help with immediate identification.

Smith. Jeez.

Oh, and I'd party with Hitler. A fine Christian who believed in sex after marriage, an animal lover, an artist, loved his cousin, and a vegetarian to boot. And started the precursor to the Mensa society cum spa retreat with his popular Concentration camps.

 
bob_ross [TotalFark] 2007-12-23 12:43:01 PM  
Compared to how many the US government has killed, he's small time.

 
Unright 2007-12-23 12:55:26 PM  
It's ironic because Hitler thought Will Smith was an overrated actor.

...and millions of other people who don't count because they don't have such good PR.

He also invented Arbor Day, and was regionally known for his striking black and white photos of puppies.

I think so. He's as smart as a moray eel, but I think most everyone is inherently good.

Except Walt Disney. He was pure evil.

Sounds like he stunned some alarmist AP reporter on a slow news weekend.

Great. Now I get to listen to mouth-breathing relatives discuss Nazi Will Smith during Christmas dinner to the tune of "I knew there was a good reason to not like him because he was black".

Hitler's totalitarian leadership as Fuhrer during 1934 until his eventual suicide in 1945 resulted in the persecution of an estimated six million Jews in the Holocaust, and his invasion of Poland in 1939 led to the start of the Second World War.

Okay, this bothered me. Why is it necessary to include this little history lesson in the article? If you honestly need Yahoo! News to tell you what Hitler did during World War II, you need to DIAF.

Which, but for the intervention of Yahoo, would have been limited to a half-assed, jackoff website no one reads. Thanks to Yahoo, it's all over the world now.

Well, ya gotta admit, them Nazis were sharp dressers.

Noam Chimpsky 2007-12-23 04:22:42 PM  
Looks to me like he made a philosophically sound comment which is being twisted by the lying media. There are lots of people who think of themselves as "good" who should be given the blindfold and cigarette. GPC.

Oh my god, is the day still young, or are farkers actually going to cool about this and not go ballistic?


Most everyone is so... level-headed. What's up?

Must be like the Onion says: "Will Smith, the Black man all of America can agree to like."

 
painendstheass 2007-12-23 04:24:51 PM  
and fark dutifully propogates a misleading headline in order to attack a celebrity for something that is in essence common sense to anyone who is a rational human being. Meanwhile, insane Christians are enforcing their own brand of violent political correctness, are making bomb threats against schools that dare to remove the word "christmas" from their holiday choirs and the fark moderators dutifully ignore it. censor me all you want, fark moderators, but it wont make you any less of a douchebag

 
Nosferotu 2007-12-23 04:25:53 PM  
Ironically, this article (specifically the quotes from Will Smith himself) only further support my belief that he's a genuinely intelligent, good person.
