Kumar (but not Harold) goes to the White House (also, House spoilers)

So I'm watching House last night and BAM
Kutner kills himself

So I had to look up what the hell was going on and why this happened so suddenly.


Apparently, Kal Penn has taken a job as Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison

That's pretty nuts, man. An actor working at the White House? What'll America think of next?

Maybe he was a big political activist or something, I dunno. But it's kinda cool that just all of a sudden he's working for the Obama Administration.

    He actually did some administrative work for Obama during his campaign as well. And good luck to'em, though I'll miss Kutner.
    you think it really was a suicide or could it be a murder as House suspected?

    It's probably just suicide, and House is demanding it's murder because there's "always" signs, symptoms. There's always a cry for help. Or anyway that's what they tell us. Of course, if that's true, then that means House missed the signs, which calls into question is awesome sauce. Therefore, he must believe it's murder, to protect his ego.

    He said he'd like to continue his acting career, but his service to the country comes first. So whenever he finishes his role as assistant director he'll be back in Hollywood.

    We already had professional wrestlers as cabinet members.

    If by "professional wrestlers" you mean "horrible actors who everybody hates."

    So we'll be seeing the character Kumar, as portrayed by actor Kal Penn, "toking" in the film series 'Harold and Kumar'?

    Public liaison work can be reasonable for a certain kind of actor. I'm going to guess he's that kind, until I see otherwise. It hasn't been publicized nearly enough to be a publicity stunt, and it's bound to get way too publicized for it to be a kickback.

    President is not usually a suitable position for an actor. I think we've already proven that.

    ...Because there's such a long history of actors portraying characters who take their own life also committing suicide soon after.

    Or maybe they thought they filmed THE REAL DEAL.

    Which of these options do you think they believe? Both are soul-crushingly idiotic.

    i love you, geebs

    Complaining about everything being dumb is even surpassing complaining about everything you hate in popularity
    I used to judge people based on how much they talked about things they actually liked versus about things they didn't like
    Now I'm starting to notice the vast disparity between talking about interesting, intelligent things and talking about what makes you, "lose faith in humanity hurf durf"

    Idiocracy is mildly funny with a few brilliant ideas

    - Pro wrestler president

    - It's got electrolytes

    but other than that it's pretty mediocre
