Why do the baby boomers spell Eminem's name as M & M? LOL!

Yes, it WAS funny, but Eminem was probably in on it. It'd be a LOT funnier if it was done without his complicity.

He goes by Marshall Mathers more often than not now. I don't think he was in on the joke. He acted like too much of a crybaby for that. Especially with the way that his body guards moved to get Cohen off of him. The body language there shows that it wasn't planned.
Eminem tried to make himself look tough in 8 mile, but in reality he's a sissy who can't walk 20 ft without his huge black bodyguards.

But he was miked. And if it had been real, he and his goons would have probably kicked the sh*t out of the Jew. His reaction seemed real because he is actually quite a convincing actor.

You never hear anything he says until Cohen is on him, and Cohen was mic'd and the volume was very loud.

In Eminem's defense, I too would be pissed if some guy mashed his bare ass and balls in my face. (If it wasn't staged.) If it wasn't staged then it's assault.

True, Eminem could sue. Not Cohen, unless it was proven to be staged, but the person or persons operating the hoist.

You were right Loggerheads. I just read on Yahoo buzz that it was indeed staged, and that eminem wasn't the first choice for the person to be in on the gag. Originally it was Paris Hilton that was offered the gig but she refused.

Wow! Paris refused? I guess she learning!

Anyone remember a stunt years ago by Howard Stern. I thought it fell flat, and was actually embarrasssed for him.

THAT is the exact proof that is was staged! "Real life" bodyguards would have ripped Cohen apart limb from limb, even with the cameras rolling IF their star they were guarding was attacked or assaulted in such a way.

Cohen is alive, therefore it was staged.

Anybody can see the "body guards" were way too gentle with the hanging Cohen.

The Fart Blast thing? Ugh, that was so disgusting.

I think if the Bruno thing had been done to Paris, or any woman, it wouldn't be funny. At all. Any strange man who sticks his ass and nutsack in a woman's face deserves to have his balls bitten.
