In a recent interview with G4's The Feed, 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto - once upon a time the hot star of television and film - opened up on his feelings about blogs and those who write them.

"No, I think that blogging should die a sudden death....It’s just ridiculous. It’s like a playground for four-year-olds. People say and do things in the world of blogs that they would never do in real life, and I think it’s a false experience....

It used to be, to be a writer you had to have experience and talent, and learn a craft. Now anybody with an opinion, which is anyone and everyone, feels that it’s worthy. Technology is allowing people to have access to things where before it required very great skill. So there will be some interesting developments from that, and also some things that are pretty worthless. Pretty soon anybody with a cell phone is going to be able to be a news reporter. The blog is yesterday’s parachute pants. It’s here now but it’s gone tomorrow....

Sometimes it’s interesting, but most of the time the bloggers themselves are just trying to get famous so they can make some money and sell advertising dollars and duping these poor people who are on the internet all day long."


Please allow this blogger to reserve judgement on your music and new image, Jared. It's just too easy.

Bwahahahhaha!

Oh no! People can write things, and other people who find those things interesting can let them know, and easily pass those things on to their friends...it's horrifying!

It's the price of free speech. When it becomes politically and technologically possible for virtually anyone to disseminate their own words, there's going to be plenty of garbage to sort through in order to find anything worthwhile. But if only one intelligent blog results from the whole flood of words that the internet has made available, it was worth it.

Besides, how is Leto in any way qualified to decide what is and isn't good writing?

I like watching the scene in Fight Club where Edward Norton continuely introduces his fists to Leto's face, over and over and over. That was a bittersweet casting.

I don't know who this Jared Leto guy is, but I agree. Blogs are fucking lame. I won't even say the word "blog" aloud because it's such a stupid fucking word.

sorry but i find 'blogs' 100% tedious, of sheer personal self worth that are retardedly self promoting, ego inflating (well if you get any readers). i can agree with him totally and have no remorse what so ever.

you don't like what someone in shitville, usa. wrote about you? who gives two tonnes of fuck? thats right, no-one... there are a billion cunts with no fucking clue, a billion cunts with their view, and another billion cunts with no fucking clue... who cares? well you aparently.

for shame.

Yeah, I cringe a little at that too, and when I hear words like "blogosphere" and "blogiversary" I can usually taste bile. HOWEVER I think the cream of the Blogosphere rises to the top, and there is a lot of stuff out there worth reading that would otherwise never gain exposure.

i usually dislike the trite philosophy of, "if you don't like it, don't read it", but for the most part it's true.

That was, hands down, the best 20 seconds of film to come out of America in the last 100 years.

This is one of the many reasons I love Edward Norton. I'd give anything to play his role in that scene and tell that douchenozzle to get over himself.
