“I will say this…I have absolutely nothing but respect and admiration for Pitt for all he’s done back home. So often we as a culture fixate on the endlessly retarded ways celebrities spend their money and often overlook the instances where they use their money and influence to do genuine good. Contrast Pitt with Nic Cage, another celebrity who bought property in the area. Pitt’s become a true part of the community while Cage’s houses are now up for auction because he has a fetish for stupid shit: shrunken skulls, exotic cars, etc. Brad Pitt should be lauded for what he’s done. I personally would run through a wall of fire for him. And then I’d cook him up a pot of crawfish etoufee, because that’s just how we do where I come from.”
