Johnny Depp's Anti-American Quote

[Kurai Tsuki]

I actually didn't pay much attention to the actor untill hearing this quote.


America is dumb, it's like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive.

My daughter is four, my boy is one. I'd like them to see America as a toy, a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out.

I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots.

I was also very dissapointed when I found out that he also apologized for his remarks.


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.

Of course this was probably done for the sake of good public relations. Speaking the truth about America would mean cutting off much of his source of income.

[elijahcraig]

I like Depp, he's probably the best actor I can think of right now who is still alive.

[Bolshevist]

Sad he apologized though. Renaming french fries to freedom fries is just... stupid. If people can't stand to hear that, then they are going to be very dissapointed in life

[elijahcraig]

I still can't believe they renamed french fries...it's just something I thought I would only see on the Daily Show or a left wing comic strip or something.

It is almost mindblowing how stupid it is...whoever came up with that idea should be shot--or made to live in France.

:lol:

[refuse_resist]

The whole changing french fries to 'freedom fries' was so stupid! :lol:

[Urban Rubble]

I like Depp, he's probably the best actor I can think of right now who is still alive.

And he's so dreamy !!

Kidding, kind of (I mean, come on, the guy is dead sexy), but yeah, he's a great actor. His portrayal of Raoul Duke in Fear and Loathing should go down as one the best in the history of film.

And don't even get me fucking started on 21 Jump Street. :lol:

Can you believe that they changed it from "Saurkraut" to "Freedom Cabbage" during WW2 ?

[BuyOurEverything]

I believe it was 'Liberty Cabbage.' Come on Rubble, society's progressed since then. :lol:

[Maynard]

Depp is a great actor and I liked those quotes, he most likely was pressured into the "clarifying" remarks, so that he still can get work or something of that liking or not have a boycott put on him, which there more than likely already is.

Of course, the whole French/Freedom fries was ridiculous, more so than freedom cabbage, because French Fries were created in Belgium and America wasn't even fighting France


Can you believe that they changed it from "Saurkraut" to "Freedom Cabbage" during WW2 ?
Frankfurter was changed to Hot Dog also and that stuck, there was also liberty steaks for Hamburgers and I have read that German measles were called liberty measles.


It is almost mindblowing how stupid it is...whoever came up with that idea should be shot--or made to live in France.

Roberty Ney and Walter Jones, both republicans were the ones who decided to change all the references in restaurants ran by or for the House of Representatives. I think the phase started with a restaurant in country America deciding to change the name.

[Sammi87]

this is a little stupid but.. surely by renaming fries freedom fries a few years from now there'll be someone sueing a fast food outlet claiming that; 'freedom made me fat.' the government could use this as propaganda by implementing a 'diet with dictatorship' scheme.

[Danton]

Depp is a sellout, he's working for Disney, and sucking up to them, he's had a taste of that Oscar now and he likes it..

Retracting that statement stripped him of any credibility..I'm sick of his kooky, feminine eccentric act, give me a real actor like Tim Roth, Ray Winstone or Gary Oldman.. He's a proffessional bohemian who still profits from that foul nest "the Viper room"...

[Hate Is Art]

Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow were class films, how does Eddie go to the toilet though? :unsure:

[Sammi87]

I thought his new movie secret window was good, but even so he shouldnt have apologised

[truthaddict11]

His portrayal of Raoul Duke in Fear and Loathing should go down as one the best in the history of film. I love that movie, have you checked out the Criteron Collection edition of the DVD? Hunter S Thompson is hilarious in his commentary plus all those extra features

[refuse_resist]

The first Nightmare on Elm Street movie was his best film.

[truthaddict11]

why? because of all that blood? :lol:

Sleepy hollow a good movie? It was terrible! Have you ever read the old tale? Tim Burton raped it. That fuck ruins everything he touches now. Planet of the Apes, Sleepy Hollow and soon he is going to rub his stench all over Willy Wonka. Ever since Nightmare Before Christmas he has sucked as a director

He uses a cathater or just flops it out..

[Sammi87]

i think it was the cast of Sleepy Hollow that made it seem better than it actually was

[EneME]

He's still fuckin awesome for saying what he said....he's very left..and fuckin fine as all hell, I definently forgive him haha :lol:

[Urban Rubble]

Oh yeah, I shelled out the 40$ for that one. It was worth it though, there is some great stuff on there. But damn, that's like two thirds of a day of work for me.

well i like sleep hollow, i also liked big fish! I love tim burton!

[pandora]

His apology is so fake it makes the whole thing all the more obvious as the truth, you can almost here him laughing as he says it.

Enough to piss them off. Still the garbage papers are toasting guys like him and even saying crap like that they fund terrorist networks, so don't rebuke him too much for apologizing

We're all pretty screwed by the patriot, anti-freedom, act

[The idealist]

I like Depp, he's probably the best actor I can think of right now who is still alive.

Sean Connory is still alive.

[fernando]

true...but I still think Johnny Depp is a good actor.

And dont come with that crap that he sold out...he is an actor...not an communist revolutionairy who wants utopian equality. Maybe he always wanted to work with Disney when he was a kid or something...who knows!

He made an apology for the things he said because if he didnt he might be without a job, and I think he loves what he does...yes he partly does it for the money, but I also think he is an actor because he loves to act...

Call me naive if you like...but that's what I think

[che's long lost daughter]

You are so Naive, Fernando! ;) I think that Johnny Depp is one of the best actors in history. He can play just about anything. He may have been in "not so good movies" but he always plays his best. And all his anti-american comments made me love him all the more. Here's to Johnny.

[Floyd.]

Viva La Depp, great actor, great musician, funny man and very beautiful. By the way I'm male and not gay... see i really think he's good. Viva his bands Lost City Angels and P

[Guerrilla22]

He had to apologize, because he relies on the American public to go see his films.

[7189]

Stupid fucking yanks. My friend went over there to see his relatives and one of them even asked him if we had the moon in Europe. Fucking idiots.

[Medieval Torture]

If I was President of the United States I would lock the entire population in a dank prison for one hundred years, with sporadic beatings and rakings. Bastard McDonald's eating commercial whores would benefit from that methinks.

Well do you have the moon in Europe? I always thought it was in space.

[DaCuBaN]

:lol:

Nice one ;)

Seriously though, it's not america that's dumb, it's just that culture there, and in the UK is predominantly 'youth' based. Hence the populous of both countries look dumb for the simple reason that they've often got a lot of learning and/or growing up to do

Personally though, I see no benefit from such sweeping generalisations other than their evident humour value ;)

[Postteen]

Johnny rocks for all those reasons you've mentioned.But especially for this one:

[Commie-K]

What he said was very interesting, but why even make a statement like that if you won't defend it. It's stupid. I just lost a huge amount of respect for a great actor, for pulling a stupid stunt like that one. Good job Johnny, good job. Idiot.

[Postteen]

Well you're partly right,but just imagine how "dangerous" this quote could be for his career.I mean,the americans usually don't accept those comments from such an actor,they wouldn't say thank you!It was like when John Lennon said "we're(the Beatles)bigger than Christ".After that,the Pressasked him if he meant what he said and he said that he didn't want to offend anyboby and that he didn't mean better than Christ,just more popular!grrrr!!!Or when he said that he was God....Anyway check johnny's "necklace"out!Isn't it CHE??

[Commie-K]

Well.. if you're a big star like him, shouldn't you be thinking over the consequences of saying such things BEFORE you say them. That's cool if he's trying make a stand, but.. if he's gonna attempt... he should follow through, with the chance of risking reputation, or not say it at all. It's not like he needs any more money anyways.

Amen to that. Why dose every one start hateing on France, hell they dident even come up with the mane French Fries, Americans did. France even bailed America out of the Revolutionary War, and now were insulted about french fries

[Commie-K]

I love the U.S. - We hate the people who want to keep peace...

[Postteen]

can you see CHE?? :D I'm so happy Johnny wears him,on his hand! :wub: :che: =D

[Kurai Tsuki]

Wearing a Che patch and at the same time saying that he would do nothing to insult the United States, it's a bit contradictory. I just wish he would give a clear impression, it seems like he wants to keep the support of political dissidents while at the same time not offend patriots.

[Kobbot 401]

Well no shit Kurai, if he pissed off people in America his career would go straight to hell. No one would want him in their films, unless hes getting killed in the movie.

[Take the Power back]

Who was the actor in "High Noon" who got blacklisted for being a communist, circa 1952 or so? Famous guy, I'll look it up in a minute. Johnny is basically avoiding just that with his appology, blacklisting.

EDIT: Gary Cooper is his name. This movie was called communist, probably because of sheer popularity more than anything. He had trouble finding work after this.

[Kobbot 401]

You dont fuck around and say stuff and not appoligze for it when your famouse. Poor celeberties have to watch their publice rep. or else they get fucked over by the press.

If you're going to say only one part of my name then Tsuki might make more sense. My ID is Japanese for Dark Moon, kurai just means dark.

And Tsuki just means moon you moron.

What pisses me off is the attention these fuck-heads all get! FOR FUCK'S SAKE! They're fucking actors. People who build these fanpages and look at pictures of them and read gossip about them are all SAD BASTARDS! Enjoy their acting, and then FORGET ABOUT 'EM! Do something positive for the world instead of idolising a fucking ACTOR!!!! That's the fucking sad thing! Most of them are shite at acting!Most of these dicks only got into the business by giving BJs! FUCKING DICKHEADS!

For bastard's sake, you guys actually call yourselves followers of CHE! Leftist radicals, socialists?! WHAT A LOAD OF SHITE! You think you're all going to change the world with your radical ideas! How can you change the world when YOU'RE ALL HOLLYWOOD WHORES!!! PIGLETS SUCKING A CAPITALIST TEAT!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAARGH!! You all deserve to be FLAYED to within an INCH of your LIVES!

[Kurai Tsuki]

You're absolutely right, Tsuki does mean moon.

Have you ever tried being tortured? I think I would have to try this medieval torture on you. Tuski, hand me my hammer and sickle. And please, my broadsword too. I need to decapitate somebody because that head is no good anyway.

[Kurai Tsuki]

Hah, that's a wonderful idea. Although I think the most effective type would be the CIA's style of torture that would revolve around the shocking of his testicles.

I think this he shows some signs of being a sadomasachist, I hate to think of how he must treat his girlfriends, if anybody would go out with him.

[che's long lost daughter]

Oh that would be great too. That way, he wouldn't be able to propagate and mess up the gene pool.

[Medieval Torture]

You react to my eccentricity, which is rooted in my perhaps odd interest in torture devices, but you dont react to the points I make. THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL FUCKING MORONS! YOU CANT REACT TO THEM BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO BRAINS! HAHAHAHAH!

BY THE WAY che's long lost daughter (CHE would fucking hate you for going on this thread if you were his daughter) DECAPITATION ISNT EXACTLY TORTURE NOW IS IT YOU MORON!

Kurai_Tsuki, shocking of the testicles is a good torture device...but not that awful. The Italian Prism is much, much worse.

Again I must reiterate the fact that you all responded to my eccentricity but not to my points proving your complete and utter USELESSNESS!

[Medieval Torture]

Oh and by the way, I read your post in Philosophy about favourite philosophers CHE DAUGHTER...

WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT! CALL YOURSELF CHE'S DAUGHTER WHEN YOU FOLLOW RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLES!

[che's long lost daughter]

I would decapitate myself if I follow religious principles.

I didn't say, decapitation is torture, MORON. By the way, I guess being restricted is torture enough for you. And with a follower like you, Che would be truly ashamed.
