Time to just stop giving a shit. Like this guy.

The ever-elusive street artist, Banksy, recently added documentary film director to his resume with the release of Exit Through The Gift Shop last year. Well, when award season rolled around, the unthinkable happened and the film was nominated for an Oscar. This is all old news. But what the Academy will do if he wins is another story all together.
Banksy is notorious for keeping an anonymous profile, rarely making public appearances without some sort of disguise. So what happens if he wins the Oscar? Chances are he won’t de-mask on live television. Chances are he’s got some scheme up his sleeve. This has the award show’s organizers a little worried:
‘The fun but disquieting scenario,’ said the Academy’s executive director, Bruce Davis, on Monday, ‘is if that film wins and five guys in monkey masks come to the stage all saying, ‘I’m Banksy!’ Who the hell do we give it to?’
At the annual nominees luncheon, which of course Banksy did not attend, Davis told TheWrap that the Academy ‘needs to have a procedure in place,’ and is working to figure out what that procedure might be. ‘That’s the fun part of this job,’ he said. ‘There’s always some crazy-ass wrinkle you never thought of before.’
As the luncheon wound down, Davis and Academy president Tom Sherak huddled at a table with Jaimie D’Cruz, the producer of “Exit Through the Gift Shop,” who is also nominated for the award, and with an executive producer. And on Tuesday afternoon, Sherak told TheWrap that he thought they’d come to an agreement on what might happen if Exit wins – a scenario, he hopes, that involves neither Banksy nor anybody claiming to be him.
Essentially, if Banksy isn’t comfortable showing his face on the stage, the Oscars aren’t comfortable with him accepting the award on stage.
Whatever with it all man. All I know is that I’ll probably actually watch the Oscars for the first time ever in the hopes that Banksy’s got something planned. I’ll be pissed if he doesn’t win.
Apparently Bob Dylan was far more prolific than anyone ever thought. And now, we finally have the true culprit behind songs like, “Humps,” and “Bad Day.”
I’m not married, but I do think it’s safe to say if I were, there would be plenty of instances where I’d just want her…gone, for lack of a better word. I think this is the case for most dudes. (And girls for that matter.) While most guys chose to retreat to their “man cave” or to the golf course or whatever, this solution is only temporary. Usually that’s okay. But let’s just say for the sake of argument that your wife is extra hard to handle. What do you do then? Well, if you’re this dude, and you have the security clearance necessary to carry out such an act, you simply add your wife’s name to a list of suspect terrorists while she’s away on vacation. Effective. His wife was stuck in Pakistan for THREE years. The thing is, had he not applied for a promotion, this act would never have even been exposed. You’d think he would automatically get promoted. Nope. Fired.
