"I would rather have a rectal examination on live TV by a fellow with cold hands than have a Facebook page." -- George Clooney during this afternoon's Up In The Air press conference, which I stepped into just long enough to take this video. It began at 1:30 -- it's now 2:55 pm. The press conference attendees also included costars Jason Bateman, Anna Kendrick, Vera Farmiga and director-writer Jason Reitman.

I'd feel exactly the same way about having a facebook page if I were George Clooney.
Although it's kind of nice for those of us who aren't wealthy beyond our wildest dreams, world famous, constantly trying to manage the nagging problem of having every single girl on the planet wanting to sleep with us and / or busy jetting about the world shooting fabulously interesting movies.
I think I know were he's going with that but it still comes off as a little snobby.

What Travis said.
Of course, Facebook does come in handy for folks like me who found a majority of their friends & family scattered across the U.S. after a nasty hurricane named Katrina destroyed my city.

That's easily the most embarrassing thing that's ever been written by anyone not named Mowkeka or DeafBrownTrashPunk on HE.

George Clooney makes fun of a silly networking site that most people consider a guilty pleasure. He was making a joke. He didn't club a baby seal to death. Reelist needs to lighten up.

What Travis said.
Of course, SPAM did come in handy for the great-grandfathers of folks like me, members of the Greatest Generation who fought the Nazis so George Cloonery could enjoy the freedom to make films like UP IN THE AIR.

In his/her defense, Reelist is only bringing it up because Jeff posted this non-story of a Clooney one-liner, for some unknown reason. It's not even that interesting a comment, so most responses to it can hardly be embarrassing or otherwise. And I just checked - Jeff himself has a Facebook page.
