Further proof (as if it were needed!) that Tom Cruise has completely flipped his gourd.
My favorite part? Dr. Tom Cruise, PhD in psychopharmacology:
When Lauer mentioned Cruise's earlier criticism of Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants, Cruise told the ''Today'' show co-host he didn't know what he was talking about.
''You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do,'' Cruise said.
The interview became more heated when Lauer, who said he knew people who had been helped by the attention-deficit disorder drug Ritalin, asked Cruise about the effects of the drug.
''Matt, Matt, you don't even -- you're glib,'' Cruise responded. ''You don't even know what Ritalin is. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Matt, OK. That's what I've done.''
I guess Tom Cruise is the only person that knows how to read
actually reading what he says makes me dizzy.
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty French gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate cause
I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic!
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
In unrelated news, I have a migraine, and am considering not returning to the office from lunch. The almost two hour confab with boss didn't help.
Ouch.
Ow, ita. I vote you go home.
''You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do,''
I think it is now legitimate to quiz Tom Cruise on obscure points of psychopharmacology at any given moment.
"So, tell me about your new movie. But first, can you explain the chemical processes of the atypical antipsychotics? In alphabetical order by generic name, if you please."
"Tom, what are you wearing? And what can you tell me about B. F. Skinner?"
"Tom, thanks for showing your support for young children with AIDS. When did PTSD receive a formal designation in the DSM, and what was it called in periods before the DSM was published?"
I vote "No" on Proposition ita Returns to the Office.
What really makes it annoying (and puts gas in the schadenfreudemobile) is that Tom Cruise has to be so damn condescending.
Gnargh. I have two or three meetings to set up, and maybe the weekly status report will have to wait until the weekend.
At least the boss knows I'm having a migraine -- I was so completely mealy-mouthed in the meeting that it embarassed me.
The pain is low, but the mental infringement is way high.
