   Ain't Hollywood grand? All you need is a famous parent, and one mediocre movie to be set for the rest of your life.

   You sound jealous...

   "Jealousy" is an emotion, the urge to vomit is a physical manifestation.Frankly, you've managed to confuse the two. Here's how to sort it out for yourself; imagine Tom Baker being paid 1.3 million Pounds Sterling to make a single episode of "Doctor Who". Now ask yourself, "am I jealous, or do I feel like vomiting"?

   I think he'd make a rather awesome reality TV show - though I'm not very sure he'd give the best impression of the USA as a whole. :P

   That's a fairly bizarre statement. Why would you expect that American reality TV is intended to cause American to portray itself favorably? IMHO, it's intended to scare away potential visitors from outer space who may be monitoring our EM emissions.

   To be a reality star, one needs to have had 15 minutes of fame, converted the income from those 15 minutes to cocaine, and then have, (obviously), snorted one's fortune. So yeah, I guess you might say that Mr. Sheen is well along in his "rehearsal" for a reality role.

   I am writing an essay about the need for social acceptance as I logged on to read this >.<. I'm going to cite this and use it in my essay.

   But I would much rather spend that $200k on 40,000 $50 whores...that or a computer that can play crysis.

   bah, my mental math skills have been lacking lately. Do you think it would cost 2m to build a computer that can play crysis?

   Perhaps you might include in your essay something about the desperate need for acceptance and lack of imagination, that causes somebody to post the same old, "will it play Crysis", joke over and over.

   And do work on your math skills. One helpful hint would be to take off your shoes when you have to carry the one.

   I dont know what to say. I was hoping for a happy ending. I myself met a girl online, then met her in the real world few months later. Now she has been my wife for six years

   please, that last thing I'm worried about is being socially accepted on the internet.

   Being one of the few who actually feels sorry for him on this forum (it seems); poor chap, I say. Once in a while, one really does want to put faith in humanity, and once your faith is put in the hands of one you think you love, it's suddenly ripped away with blunt force by inhuman anoidic parasites.

   Tricking another man's lovelife is way to evil, even for a heartless scammer (or even botwriter).

   Hope that he gets his money back. The entire experience must have felt truly awful.
