David Cross Unreasonably Escalates 'Who Can Snort Coke Closest to Obama' Challenge
A person is prone to doing crazy things while waiting for the Arrested Development movie to get off the ground. (I know from experience: My life-sized, paper-mâché Annyong is almost finished!) Take David Cross, for example, who has busied himself during the film’s lengthy development process by…well…how do we put this?
Well, the first thing Cross has done, which sounds awfully draining, is to continue cultivating a friendship with Vice Magazine founder and tedious ur-hipster Gavin McInnes. Five years ago, the two men made a trip to the DEA museum, where McInnes did a bump of coke and challenged Cross to “top that.”
And top that he did! The comedian, brought by actress girlfriend Amber Tamblyn to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, decided to do his own bump in full view of various high-profile politicians — and a mere fifty or so feet from President Obama, to boot. David Cross is never going to stop embarrassing Russ Tamblyn.

GOBSHITE !

Amber, run. RUN!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted 23 Oct 2009, 1:22 PM
Sounds like Cross needs an analrapist.
Posted 23 Oct 2009, 1:56 PM
Damn, this tops the time I rolled with Malia at her middle school dance.
Posted 23 Oct 2009, 9:14 PM
She is going out with him? Puke.
Posted 24 Oct 2009, 9:44 AM
that douchebag gavin mcinness hasn't had anything to do with vice for years.. they fired him for being a racist white power loser.
Posted 24 Oct 2009, 1:29 PM
Wow, what a man! Now, I will go to work and pee in the cup so I can keep my job.
Guess I really am a pee on. Get it? Hollywood is so fucking cool.

I didn't realize coke had so much mainstream acceptance.
Posted 24 Oct 2009, 1:47 PM
he's a comedian.
Posted 24 Oct 2009, 2:59 PM
This reminds me of when I pulled a "u-ee" in the middle of my funeral dirge. Then I went back to high school and took back everything I did wrong. To no avail.
Posted 24 Oct 2009, 4:34 PM
LOL WOW. This is pretty wreckless but still hilarious.
Posted 24 Oct 2009, 4:46 PM
I love David Cross but I am totally not down with coke... ah dilemmas dilemmas..
Posted 24 Oct 2009, 6:46 PM
Do I really care or have the time to think about if I want to care? Why didn't he just mainline a huge dose of heroin and die? That would be much more "News worthy."
Posted 24 Oct 2009, 8:58 PM
You people are ridiculous. One saying he needs to be anally raped, another said he needs to step it up and die. Who are you people to be concerned with how he lives his life and what he puts in his body?
Take some time and ridicule your own life, I'm sure you'll find far worse things than doing a harmless line of coke.

OMG! Thanks, Nate! I didn't even notice---
Darn, and I just ordered a box of 4000 business cards. . .
Posted 24 Oct 2009, 9:17 PM
@Nate - you've never seen arrested development, have you.......
Posted 25 Oct 2009, 12:06 AM
Anybody who thinks that this is funny is a tool.
Posted 25 Oct 2009, 4:54 AM
It's unsettling that the prison system is full of drug users and dealers while celebrities make announcements and games out of their drug usage.
Posted 25 Oct 2009, 7:47 AM
I think he's made a huge mistake.
Posted 25 Oct 2009, 7:48 AM
I guess clever comedians can be dipsh*ts too. There is no joke here.
Not a funny one anyway.
Posted 25 Oct 2009, 9:32 AM
Amber Tamblyn is into the dorky "I wear horned rimmed glasses to look intellectual", overrated, douchebag tool types?
Who knew?
Posted 25 Oct 2009, 4:26 PM
I have no idea who Amber Tamblyn is, even after checking the IMBD and Google image search. She could do a lot worse. Cross is an intelligent guy, and an atheist and hates republicans -- all winning attributes. If I were a girl, I'd let him throw one in me.
Posted 26 Oct 2009, 7:18 AM
Heeeelarious! People need to lighten up. I can understand if he was at a dinner party at your house and he did a bump in front of the kids, but where he was surely elevates the act to a new realm - and don't most comedians, at least the funniest ones, push buttons and boundaries? You think a sober team could write Mr. Show?
Still love the guy and his book cracks me up even more.
Posted 27 Oct 2009, 5:12 PM
i think this shit is hilarious but is the gov really not doing anything? corruption much? someone give this guy a peaceprize.
Posted 27 Oct 2009, 8:23 PM
Inapropriate? absolutely. that's why it's funny! It tip toes the on the barriers of what we should or shouldn't do. I would normally tell you losers to lighten up, but if this went lightly, then it wouldn't have been so ballsy.
Posted 28 Oct 2009, 8:24 AM
I think I'll put this in the "Tom Cruise Loses Mind Over E-Meter Rectal Stimulation" folder. I now only want to see the Arrested Development movie if his character is killed off in the trailer and never appears in the actual movie. Way to "cruise" your career douche...

You fools are mostly retarded. Or even worse.... Tied down by the byproduct of children and bitter. Is that why yall feel the need to hate on David cross?!?! As a huge fan of both David cross and cocaine.... I say more power to him!!! Funniest shit I've heard all week. Also what most of you don't want to admit is that without all the camara around, most of those fools in that room would have been the next in line. Prez included I'm sure. Really America? Really? Everyone still wants to pretend that their government and religion are important or at the least mean ANYTHING to anyone anymore. The whole thing is funny. Celebs on coke is funny. Doing coke next to the prez.... Is funny. However... Being a Podunk hick from the Midwest who thinks their opinion matters.... Is not funny. It's just tradgic and sad. Shut the fuck up America. Then maybe the whole world will stop laughing at us.
