Kristylovesbb | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 07:34 pm     That's what Roddy said about us in this article: http://www.realitynewsonline.com/cgi-bin/ae.pl?mode=1&article=article2396.art&page=1 |
Crossfire | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 07:49 pm     Sad, he makes a comment about helping terminally ill children, and you snip this exaggeration. Shame on you. |
Reeniehere | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 08:17 pm     What is shameless is that Roddy could use helpless terminally ill children to do the same sort of ruthless manipulation on the public that he used on the house guests. IMO, if he truly cared about them, he'd be spending his time tending to them instead of using them to advertise, yet one more time, how wonderful he is. |
Shortnsweet | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 08:25 pm     These comments are a perfect example of - if you like a houseguest, he/she is thoughtful and giving - if you don't like a houseguest, he/she is selfish and manipulative. Nobody wins! |
Kristylovesbb | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 08:46 pm     So true Reeniehere, I have a lot more respect for people that do wonderful deeds that don't go public with it! His motives are transparent, and to call a hockie player a God! |
Goddess146 | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 09:01 pm     YYou are 100% on the money, Reeniehere. Roddy is an expert at strawman arguments. The fact that he would use terminally ill children as a strawman against the "dopes" just proves how utterly ruthless and devoid of morals Roddy really is. |
Bastable | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 09:08 pm     "I have a movie in development" is the "I gave at the office" of the new millennium. Every waiter in L.A. has a movie in development. Whadda crock. |
Wendo | Thursday, October 24, 2002 - 11:52 pm     I admit, I did my share of posting about my opinion about BB Roddy during the show. And, I do wish him all the best in life (though, hope I never encounter him personally.) But, what really *bugs* me is his comment about seeing the "terminally ill children" while mentioning the so called internet "dopes" in the same sentance. If anything, it's nothing more than a veiled insult to those who didn't post the "I LUV RODDY" posts. And, this is the type of behavior he exhibited in the house that I didn't like watching and, hence, made me not like him. It's like saying, "See, I'm a great guy, visiting sick and dying kids. Can you believe people are saying bad things about me???" Visit sick and dying kids, that's great. But don't use it as a shill against those who weren't impressed by you. |
Risa | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 03:09 am     If any of you ever visit Southern California, "movie in development" is Hollywood speek for"out of work". As Tonya would say"Just so you know". While I didn't dislike Roddy as much as Dani, I think he is a piece of work. |
Risa | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 03:11 am     speek-speak? |
Richardfan | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:00 am     This is just ridiculous... "ruthless manipulation of the public" Ruthless? Ruthless? I mean, c'mon, Since when is mentioning terminal children "ruthless"? "...more respect for people that do wonderful deeds that don't go public..." If they don't go public, how do you know who to have more respect for? Pretty lame reason to hate Roddy. "devoid of morals" This has to be a joke "hope I never encounter him personally" It seems to me Roddy should be the one worried about encountering people. Roddy is absolutely 100% right and apparently his remark hit too close to home for some people. The posts in this thread prove it. |
Zachsmom | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:24 am     WTG Richardfan!!! I actually took Roddy's comment as "Hey..there are some terminally ill children out there and it puts my life in prospective..whatever some boneheads on the internet think of me pales in comparision to what these children and families go through." |
Babyruth | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:35 am     Well, there's spending time with ill children because it's good publicity, and then there's spending time with ill children for their sake. One involves telling everyone in interviews, one does not. This guy still doesn't realize how cellophane he is. |
Zachsmom | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 11:40 am     But Babyruth..he worked with children BEFORE Big Brother..not terminal children..but with children..I think it was hockey related..so working with children is nothing new to him.. I don't see how working with terminal children can be ascribed as something negative about him.. |
Kristylovesbb | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 12:06 pm     Richardfan where in my post did I say hate in reference to Roddy? Please point it out as I cannot find it! I DO NOT HATE ANYONE, I just like some people more than others. |
Goddess146 | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 04:28 pm     Richardfan, you are so good at lifting things out of context. Roddy has taught you well. If Roddy said "I love kids for dinner" you would say: "But, but, but ... Roddy said he loved kids." |
C1mag | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 06:07 pm     Roddy said, "I've had a chance to get in touch with terminally ill children (WHO LIKED ME ON THE SHOW) <-- His comment! Typical Rod. Now my questions are this.... If the sick kids DIDN'T like him on the show would he still take the time? Is this volunteerism or some way to pacify his own ego and remind the reader of what a good guy he THINKS he is? I would think if it were just community service there would be no need to point out that the sick kids he's visiting with LIKED him on the show. Not to mention that if it were sincere volunteerism there would be no need to mention it at all. As one of those "Internet dopes" who didn't care for him on the show, I usually laugh at most of his comments, but this one was just sad. To make a statement that involves sick and dying kids that includes the comment, "They like me".. is just sad. Whats even sadder is the fact that he himself offerred the information at all. The man is still looking for validation with the hopeful help of his own sad comments. If we can't see he is a good guy, he's more than willing to point it out for us. I don't even think the devil would be that obvious. |
Shortnsweet | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 06:15 pm     Oh, No, Not another DEVIL comment! **shortnsweet runs and hides from the nasty ol' devil** |
Shewrites | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 06:18 pm     I agree completely with Richardfan. In the first place, this was an article, written by a reporter who interviewed Roddy. It wasn't a chat transcript, a press release written by Roddy or his representative, or a paid advertisement. I'm a reporter, and when I conduct an interview like this, I actually have a conversation with the person, not just a straight question and answer session. A lot of information comes through that way, and you have to shape that into story form. We don't know in what context the statement came up during the course of their interview. We only know the portion of the conversation the reporter chose to write. I see nothing at all wrong with Roddy mentioning the positive things he is doing during an interview. It sounded to me like he was humbled by the opportunity to visit with the kids. As far as him mentioning "internet dopes" -- some of the people going on and on about him *are* acting like dopes. I doubt that he meant anyone who says something negative about him is a dope. I think he more meant the people who insist that he is evil and horrible, and come up with all these dramatic conspiracy theories. There's one internet site in particular that comes to mind... it's full of BS, and in my opinion, the person who created it *is* a dope. I have to wonder... if Jason or Danielle were to mention visiting sick children, would they be criticized? I doubt it. |
C1mag | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 07:04 pm     The real question is... Would Dani or Jason mention that they were visiting terminally ill kids " who liked them on the show" ? Or would they just say they were taking the opportunity to volunteer at a childrens hospital and leave it at that? By the way, the comment about the kids liking him was made by him not the journalist. The quote was, "Who liked ME on the show" not, "Who liked HIM".. so there is no questioning who did the stroking of his ego on that phrase. I didn't see one shred of humility in the interveiw. Had there been any humility he would have left the Sally Field comment alone. ( They like me!! They really, really like me) He suggests that he could not have done something like this a few months earlier... Why not? You don't have to have ANY celeb status to volunteer your time for sick kids. Unless your the type that is motivated by ego. As far as the "Internet dopes" comment that pretty much sums the man up. If he is as seccure as he suggests he is, then he'd take the bad with the good and give no energy or public comment about the negative. |
Risa | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 07:13 pm     Right on C1 and Babyruth! |
Ozarktracy | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 07:26 pm     I noticed that the article also says: >>After visiting a few internet websites, he said, "I've read some bad stuff, but I've also read some amazing things."<< I really don't think he meant amazing as in crazy and dopish, because he used that word "but". I do think he was complimenting the many astute internet posters for their perceptive, dead-on appraisals of all the HGs. He does go on to say: >>"But, it is hard to ignore the bad. The reaction from most people has been amazing, just the negative people seem to make a lot of noise."<< He said amazing twice when referring to internet posters and IMO I think he meant it as a compliment. Is it really news to people that there *are* dopes on the internet and that there is *some* truth in his using the word dope? Is this something that's really questionable? LOL. I have said some negative things about Roddy. I'm not some biased Roddy fan. If he wants to consider me a dope because of stuff I've said about him, then wah-wah-wah, I'm all so NOT broken up over it! I *have* been called worse in my life, LOL. Eh, let the guy alone, I say. He can have his opinion of those who've bashed him. He *could* have said much worse, IMO, LOL. If only this was the worst thing that could happen to me. *sigh* |
Bmh | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 08:12 pm     Oh I will feel right at home here..at a Roddy bash thread!..lol jk guys..just wanted to come by and see what has been up..pretty quiet here huh? |
Whit4you | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 08:26 pm     Quietly peeking into thread... Throwing in some raw meat.... Quietly sneaking back out. |
