Aaron Sorkin Is Afraid That Angry Geeks Will Put Child Porn on his Computer (VIDEO)
Aaron Sorkin has a new catchphrase that he's been enjoying while on the talk show circuit to promote 'The Social Network.' As the film is about Facebook, Sorkin has an opinion about online socializing, and he brought that opinion to 'The Colbert Report' (Weeknights, 11:30PM on COM)."I do think that socializing on the Internet is to socializing what reality TV is to reality," he said to an odd reaction from the crowd.
"Well we're not going to get any deeper than that," Colbert said, but Sorkin wasn't sure if the audience "had heard something profound, or they were offended by that." Maybe they caught Sorkin on 'The View' just one day prior where he laid the same "profound" bombshell on that audience word for word, and who knows where else he's said it. It stops being profound and meaningful when you start printing the t-shirts, Mr. Sorkin.
And when you start implying that your own statement is profound, it makes you come across like an arrogant jerk. And nobody outdoes Stephen Colbert in that category; certainly not on his own show!
Sorkin is worried that the film might anger the wrong crowd, though. "I'm worried about an entire building full of people who know how to hack onto my hard drive and put child porn there," he confided to Colbert. That's a real fear everyone should have.
The next time you go to pick on a geek at school or at work, just remember what kind of power they could wield over your future freedom. And we also recommend not telling them that socializing on the Internet is to socializing what reality TV is to reality. It's so yesterday. No, literally. He said it yesterday.
