Art Alexakis grew up in the projects and got raped by black kids. That sucks. Don’t get me wrong. However, being raped doesn’t give you the right to be the most irritating human being in all of California (the most annoying state in the union).
I watched that movie The Other F Word last night where old punks whine about their childhoods until you want to jump into the TV and take a shit in them. Hey Art, it’s not your dad’s fault you got raped, it’s the rapists’. Also, you knew who else grew up without a father? Oh, pretty much everyone. My dad was always there but when I scroll through my phone I count, one, two, three… seven of the guys in my “recents” grew up fatherless. The only time I’ve heard them mention it is to make jokes about what a loser the guy is.
Art on the other hand, feels so sorry for himself, he sings the tear-jerker above in its entirety and then stares straight at the camera like we’re all going to bawl our eyes out. My eyes were rolling too hard to cry. Later, when asked what he was like as a kid he goes, “All I remember is being this sweet little boy who just wanted to help people.” Who talks about themselves that way? Who the fuck refers to their younger self as a “sweet little boy”? Hi, I moved to Ontario from England when I was 5. I was super sweet. Then, at 18, I moved out of the house and went to Quebec where I became really, really kind. Ten years later, I came to New York wherein I became just absolutely wonderful. Did Alexakis go to the Rufus Wainwright School of Talking About Yourself?
In the film he talks about the way people look at him when he picks up his kid. He says they gawk at his tattoos and dyed blonde hair. In fucking California? Yeah right. “Then they see me pick up my baby and realize I’m a father” he says before adding, “But the kids know right away. They can tell I’m a father.” BLECH!
Art ends the film with the worst thing I’ve heard since, “Happy birthday Gavin, you’re 42.” He’s being his usual solipsistic self and says coyly, “The other day someone said to me, ‘I wish you were my father’ and I said, ‘me too. I wish I was my father.’”
I wish he’d be more like his father and leave.

I saw that last night too. Remember when the guy from Rise Against says: I asked my dad what the difference between a republican and a democrat and he said “son we’re republicans.” Oh you poor thing. Your dad was like 70% of American dads.
such a cunt…
I’ve always hated this guy, but i never knew his name. i confused him with every bleached blonde douche of the early 2000′s.
“THAT DUDE FROM EVERCLEAR IS THE WORST” pretty much makes every point in the article irrelevant.
For really real raped? I told Kyle about this stupid movie that you’d probably rip it to shreds.
Dads. We came from their balls.
Yeah, we hate him, too.
I resemble that remark…I think NY is MUCH more annoying than CA. then there’s VT, IA, MN, NM, AZ all more annoying than CA.
great job on redeye tonight, you killed it
Ummm… nah. I know of a few quite a bit more annoying and self rightous. Like, for example, people who don’t know how to spell “righteous.” Illiterate people in general are annoying and should perhaps be euthanized. Also, people who say shit like “Ummm…nah.” Euthanize them first.
He was 35 when that song came out! I cannot imagine being years older than I am now and pop-punking about my daddy issues. The Worst.
if we knew what a douche he’d grow up into we totally wouldn’t have raped him.. dude is sew not hot
The real issue is black guys.
more fish in a barrel, but at least this post is impossible to argue with.
My friend met him when she was homeless like 12 years ago and he tried to have a heart-to-heart with her about how dangerous and stupid heroin is. Before he left he said he’d give her some money if she promised not to buy drugs. He gave her $50 and as soon as he left she bought some heroin with it.
