Haha just kidding. I just found it funny that the microphone was black and it squirted all over Toms face. Nice fake moneyshot though.


"Now why would you do that? Why would you do that?" T. Cruise

Meh. It was childish. I'm no Tom Cruise fan, but I do like he handled it.

Wow, Cruise handled that well. Most people would have gotten mad or at least befuddled. I'm impressed by the way he handled it and as has already been said, it was rather dumb.

I have no great love for Tom Cruise, but he didnt need this.

I really dont like Sean Penn, but would love to see this prankster give him a squirt in the face. Now would be entertainment.

I'm going to agree with you. I'm sure ths little prick was all set to take a beating and the sue.
He would have gotten so much more attention if Tom Crusie reacted badly.

I give him credit. If that were me, they would still be performing surgery to remove the microphone from that punk's anatomy.

Is everything gay to you? I really wonder.

It has nothing to do with sexuality, just humor. It was a case of unintential porno.

I think it would have been better to have a sense of humor about it. It was only water. No, it wasn't that clever of a prank-all the more reason to shake it off and move on. Half the interviewers on the red carpet these days are prankers and comedians, if you tense up at every one...

And frankly, since you're playing up the 'porno' aspect...you surely realise that the comparison must lead you down the homosexual path, unless you somehow think it is reminiscent of hetero porn?

The amount of gay threads points in the direction of certain questions. Anywho, it was just a funny pic that was unintentionally funny. Why do you have to bring up the homosexual aspects of that image. Cruise is a stupid actor, and it was a stupid prank that turned out hilarious.

Actually, you brought up the homosexual aspects of the image to begin with. And I think it's hilarious that you did so, considering that you seem to have a real problem with 'gayness'. Yet 'gayness' is funny to you in this case. THAT amuses me. The joke, not so much. Kind of lame, actually.

I hope he does sue that guy, because frankly, I'd love to see morons like that behind bars. I've gained so much respect for Cruise for this, he handled it brilliantly. I can name quite a few who in that situation would have punched the guys lights out, myself included. He should not be targeted by a pathetic and immature prank, and especially not on the night of one of his biggest premiere's, and the day after he announced his engagement, first time they were seen together in public. In short, I have 0 respect for that "comedian", and a whole lotta new found respect for Tom.

dude, that prank was just stupid. there wasn't anything funnya about that, except maybe the prankster (loath as i am to use that word) getting a stern "timmy, i'm your mother, do what i say" lecture from tom fucking cruise. that was mildly amusing. but hey, if you're going to go around doing that to people, you really should have the balls to stick around.

Oh yeah, that is what the world needs - for a couple of guys who squirted someone in the face with a water gun to be LOCKED up behind bars.

Are you even vaguely aware of the law? Because lawsuits are civil matters and don't end up with the losers behind bars. And what damages would he sue for exactly? Maybe it ruined his suit? A squirt of water? Put me on the jury - please!

But regardless of that, perhaps you could get over the special treatment for Tom Cruise. If that was done to anyone else it would be a prank. But TOM CRUISE - my God, what were they thinking!!! AHhhhh :rolleyes:

The homosexual aspect was hardly UNINTENDED. They even call it a money shot.

I seriously doubt it was intended to be gay. They were there to squirt him with water. It was just lucky that that camera was there at that proper angle. It was all a bunch of coincidence. Still, it was freaking funny as hell, even if you think it's gay.

Come on here...just admit that you saw the sexuality implicit in the gag, that clearly, the microphone was meant to look like a penis ejaculating into Tom's face, admit that is a homosexual reference, and move on. If it had just been a water gun, it wouldn't have had the connotations this gag did, and you probably wouldn't have found it quite as amusing. It is the 'demeaning' aspect of it that was meant to irritate the victim (likely in the hopes of goading him into an action worthy of a lawsuit). I don't THINK it's gay. It clearly was meant to be, and meant to be offensive because of this.

When i first viewed the video, i didn't think of anything sexually explicit. and then i saw the still on the link he posted. The video wasn't funny, cos it's like WTF!?!??! but Tom did handle it well in treating the guy like the 5 year old he acts like. But the still was hilarious. So what if it had gay tendencies? That part of it wasn't intentional. From what i could tell, the intention was to see the squirt gun concealed as a mike, and when Tom was squirted, to see where the water came from and be all like "hey man, that was cool, they had a squirt gun as a mike and squirted Tom Cruise with it."

Damn ppl, stop being so serious.

That's an immature way to look at it. He was working the red carpet. At times that can mean nothing but answering the same 10 damn questions for 2+ hours. Imagine what that is like, now imagine if someone decides to squirt water in your face.. just because.

Even Punk'd doesn't do it when people are working. I'm not a fan of his but he handled that amazingly.. can't say I could have come anywhere near that. Water or not you have to put it into perspective and not dismiss it so easily.
