I’m going to give a big unabashed fuck yeah to students at UCLA who are banning together against James Franco being named their graduation speaker. They get it: successful actor does not equal sage.
Just smile and look pretty and fake fuck Sean Penn on camera. Shit.
You can support their efforts to prevent star-fucking by joining the Facebook group: UCLA Students Against James Franco as Commencement Speaker.
I agree. It’s great to see that this year’s UCLA grads aren’t settling for an actor to send them out to the “real world.” The facebook group should suggest alternatives if they haven’t already!
Franco had to drop out the week before for pre-production on another movie. The speaker ended up being the guitarist from Linkin Park. I wonder what the No on Franco crew was thinking as he played “Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.” I heard he was great.
