A Moving Message from Michael J. Fox

That is one of the most moving political ads of this cycle. Here it is for people that don't feel like clicking on the link:

That seriously brought tears to my eyes.

boy Fox looks really rough in that message wheather hes acting or not.....but I'm still not a proponet of stem cell reserch. Sorry guys if this turns into another political cluster fuck.

Gosh. This is a shocking development.

Great Ad. I had heard that he was not doing well. That the disease had become very advanced. But, despite the movement problems his speech and presention were really pretty good.

I wonder what it took for him to exert that level of control.

It is powerful stuff and I hope his candidate wins. In fact I hope every two bit political whore who opposes STR in order to "appeal to their" base, acquires some disease for which STR is the only hope.

theres a happy thought.

Right??

are you... accusing michael J fox of FAKING a DISEASE?

mucci, hes got parkinsons. its been in the news for about six years.

i like the part where fox pretends to have a disease that he already has.

it's sad how far his parkinson's has gone.

and that was one of the most moving political ads i've seen in a long time.

That Michael J.... What a pesky trouble maker!

Oh god, please tell me you're joking. PLEASE tell me you don't really think MJ's faking the Parkinson's. Please tell me you know what Parkinson's is and does before opposing research towards its treatment!!!

i think this should be mucci's halloween costume: "I am michael J fox and i am faking parkinsons, arent i an amazing actor?"
he will totally match my "i am christopher reeve and i am totally faking paralysis from the neck down, fooled you!" costume. wont we have an upbeat party???

About 3 months or so before I quit the business to become a legal whore, I worked on a spot for Fox' Foundation. It was he and John Stewart. Fox did his best when he was on camera to hide the extent to which his illness had affected him. But when the camera wasn't rolling and he was just being himself, it was painfully obvious that he was really having a hard time - yet he took the time to say good morning to everyone and to be as gracious as he could, given his condition. I was grizzled at that point in my career and even I was impressed at his resolve and genuine feeling about what he was doing.

That was over 3 years ago. I can only hope that he is satisfied with the work he has done.

Mooch, I'm sorry, but for real ....

oh come on DG, one washed up actor versus hundreds and hundreds of tiny sinless blastocysts. which side you gonna be on?

you know, he fooled me already with that teen-wolf thing, so im a little skeptical.

I know, right? First he was like "Hey, I'm a carefree teenage basketball-playing werewolf!"
And I was like "Really? But I thought you were the Young Republican son of PBS hippies!"
But then he was like "Just kidding! I'm really TV and film actor Michael J. Fox!"
So then I was all "I'll never trust you again!"

Now Parkinson's Disease? I'm so conflicted.

David Spade is on Spin City now?

Hahaha well at least if he was on Spin City it might have explained how he got down with the Locklear.

How can you not like Spin City? It's got Cameron Frye in it? Jeez.

For serious. He's my heeeeero.

Mind your "P"s and "Q"s, Buster!

Dude, Heather was just following her heart. You gotta let it go man, you gotta let it go.
