In January 2005, film critic Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times said
in an article that Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo was overlooked for an Academy
Award because "nobody had the foresight to invent a category for Best Running
Penis Joke Delivered by a Third-Rate Comic." Schneider responded two weeks later
with full-page ads in Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, saying he had
done research and found that Mr. Goldstein had never won any journalistic
awards, commenting, "Maybe you didn't win a Pulitzer Prize because they haven't
invented a category for Best Third-Rate, Unfunny Pompous Reporter Who's Never
Been Acknowledged by His Peers." Schneider also wrote, "Patrick, I can honestly
say that if I sat with you and your colleagues at a luncheon, afterward, they'd
say 'You know, that Rob Schneider is a pretty intelligent guy, I hope we can do
that again.' Whereas, if you sat with my colleagues, after lunch, you would just
be beaten beyond recognition." He also called Goldstein a "real scumbag" in an
appearance on Tom Green's House Tonight when referring to Goldstein's
criticisms, and opined that Goldstein's criticism was unimaginative. Patrick
publicly asked, "Who are Schneider's colleagues and why would I want to have
lunch with them?"[citation needed]
In August 2005, film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times responded to
the Schneider-Goldstein conflict in his review for Deuce Bigalow: European
Gigolo. While noting that an online search showed that Goldstein had won a
National Headliner Award, a Los Angeles Press Club Award, a RockCritics.com
award, and the Publicists' Guild award for lifetime achievement, Ebert said, "As
chance would have it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified.
Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your
movie sucks." (Ebert's 2007 collection of reviews of movies for which he gave
negative reviews was titled Your Movie Sucks, a reference to his review of Deuce
Bigalow: European Gigolo.) In a later interview with Stuff magazine, Schneider
called Ebert an "ass", saying that Ebert "irks" him and that he had been told
that Ebert is "not nice to the people he works with." Ebert rejected the
accusation, and reaffirmed his opinion of the film, stating, "If he's going to
persist in making bad movies, he's going to have to grow accustomed to reading
bad reviews." On May 7, 2007, Roger Ebert reported via his website that he had
received a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a note stating it was from "Your
least favorite actor, Rob Schneider." Ebert had recently undergone a very
serious surgery to remove a cancerous salivary gland, and spent months
recovering. Ebert saw the flowers as a kind gesture and publicly thanked
Schneider, and said that Schneider may have made a bad film, but he was not a
bad man. Ebert also expressed hope that Schneider would make a film that Ebert
finds wonderful.

"I'll see you at the movies." RIP Roger Ebert
by MrFreeze inyears ago, i didn't care for roger ebert.
i thought he was kind of a snooty film critic.. after watching films as sort of a hobby, i came to really appreciate his opinions on film.
mainly, what was the film trying to do.

April Fool Easter!!! LMAO
by ThisFellowCheap inso, the joke goes somewhat like this in paraphrase: an atheist was complaining about the religionists having preferential treament when it comes to religious national holidays, that the christians get their days and muslims and likes and they don't give just one to the atheists.
and up pops the witty christian and say, "oh, i thought that was what april 1st was meant for!".
and i had to gobble that up every year- no, not this year!

Atheists have a spaghetti monster. Put the spaghetti on the plate. A good
meat sauce, some salad, some red wine good for your health...Hell, I'd go to two
or three meetings. I hope you don't think it's just to listen to the speaker:
"We're good, the others out there are stupid and cause all the trouble in the
world." Boring them to death in the seats like all the others. Put the
spaghetti on the plate. You atheists are Bogarting that spaghetti. -

Some entries in YouTube collections are just accidents, true, which aren't
really Darwin Award candidates but just pad out the video. For example, you
can't be too young to know better or mentally disabled, or the victim of someone
else's stupidity or just bad luck while acting responsibly such as many at the
next link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filmed_deathsYou have to juggle live grenades, check the inside of a fuel tanker with a
lighter, trim a branch you're standing on over a branch shredder, use an enema
of hard liquor, jump out of a plane then realize your parachute is just a
camcorder pack, pull someone out of a frozen pond by the action end of a shot-
gun, try to do a skateboard grind off a roof onto a metal railing, etc. You
have to do something which if you saw a loved one try it you'd tackle them and
say, "Noooo." It has to be something which did or could take a stupid person
out of the gene pool to help prove Darwin right. See the Wikipedia link above.Rules

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqgWkqSVTTIDarwin Award history:
Franz Reichelt (1879 -- 1912) tried to be the first to come up with a para-
chute for aviators but fasiled. He decided a lack of a suitably high test
platform was partly to blame. He promised authorities he's use a dummy for
a trial of his parachute, which looks like a huge overcoat, from the Eiffel
Tower. With a camera rolling, and despite protests from friends, refusing a
safety rope, he did it himself. They measured the dent he made in the ground.
