Tux of Borg Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Quit being a bunch of pussies, a little water on the face never hurt anyone. Even Bill Gates had a pie put in his face once. The prankster doesn't get the award for most original prank, but Tom could have handled the situation better. He should have smiled, laughed and said, "you got me". The next day the clip is played around the world and he comes out smelling like roses. I guess if this was punk'd or candid camera, it would have been ok.

SilverNRed Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 And he is also a potential target for a nutcase to harm him. Remember Monica Seles? Cruise doesn't know if it's water, sewage, some highly corrosive blood agent that is used on HARM missiles deployed from drones. This is why a lot of these guys are jerks. Why do you think it is okay to attack anyone in public? This is not a controlled venue where security was all around. The crew should and probably should be tried under current terrorism laws. 362377[/snapback] OK, I'll stand corrected. I hadn't thought about the 'nutcase' angle and people like Cruise are high-profile enough that they have to worry about stuff like that. In retrospect, it was a goofy practical joke but Cruise didn't know that and I understand that could have been a little scary. I guess it just seems weird because in the video he starts to laugh at first and then freaks out. If he had switched the order, it would've seemed more natural.
SilverNRed Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 IMO, Cruise failed to defend himself. He should have rushed into the crowd and beaten up the nearest 98 lb weakling. 362508[/snapback] He was the nearest 98 lb weakling! Katie Holmes would have had to defend him. Where was she on that one?

You are at work doing your thing talking to someone you don't know and they squirt you in the face? I wouldn't beat their ass but I'd sure as hell have a mouthful for them. I'd hardly laugh it off. Especially considering I'd have to walk around with a wet shirt on.
IDBillzFan Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Actually, the thing really bugged me was the fact that it was NOT someone who just walked up and sprayed water on him or hit him in a face with a pie. It was someone who was actually pretending to interview him. And Cruise gave an obligatory interview, and THEN the guy sprayed him. How fuggin' wrong is that? Now, let's say you're a salesperson and someone asks you for your time to give a demo, and the sole purpose of the demo is to embarrass you in such a way as to hopefully catch you on video blowing a cork (after you've been working around the clock doing demos everywhere, and you're tired, and you're cranky...) so they can take that video and show it to everyone who will watch while making a two-bit name for themselves? This isn't a case of tripping your buddy Billy Bob while he's getting ready to roll his third strike in a row at Bum!@#$ Bowling, Pizza and Tackle Bait Shop. The dude, and people who do similar stunts, need the ever-loving crap beat out of them. On camera.
