In 2009, Lily Allen released a song called Fuck You that I discussed here.
The song was a hit, making it to #1 in Belgium and number 68 on the Billboard charts.
This past Summer, Cee Lo released a song entitled Fuck You.
Both are catchy songs.
Each have disparate messages.
Here is Cee Lo's very catchy song - to compare to Lily Allen's same-named one.

In the future, I'll discuss my history with the word fuck, including my 3rd grade suspension concerning the word.

Email Exchange
Over the years, I have given my 74-year-old dad computer lessons. Some things are just outside of his grasp - like using the Shift key. Here is an email exchange today about an upcoming event.
Me: Do we have anything planned yet for Christmas morning – for the family gift exchange? I offer to host. We can meet around 10 am at my house for coffee, donuts, grits and grillades (mom’s recipe), and/or hot chocolate. What do you think?
My Sister Christine: Assuming that it works for Karlie, which I think it does, I think it sounds nice. We have “Christmas with the [in laws]” this year, but I don’t it will start until the afternoon. Thanks for offering to host. I love the holidays!!!
Me: And I have two Snuggies ready for anyone who wants to use them! (Karlie can bring hers too.)
My Dad: WE WILL BE IN ATTENDENCE DAD
Me: Sounds good. Remember: In email, ALL CAPS means that you are YELLING at someone. You really should practice with the Shift key.
My Dad: THANKS
Me: Oh the irony…

Mystery Solved
Remember the guy in the below photo? He is the mystery actor described in this post.
Carlos figured out who he is. We were watching Runaway Jury yesterday morning and recognized him. His name is Cliff Curtis. Here is his official IMDB photo.
Here is his bio via IMDB:
Cliff Curtis was born in Rotorua, Aotearoa, New Zealand, on July 27, 1968.
Of New Zealand Maori descent (Ngati Hauiti, Te Arawa) he spent time when young learning the traditional Maori fighting styles of mau rakau. He enrolled at the New Zealand Drama School, and then the Teatro Dmitri Scoula in Switzerland.
After returning to Aotearoa New Zealand from Europe, he was cast in The Piano (1993). Subsequent roles in New Zealand include the camp melodrama Desperate Remedies (1993), the gruelling urban drama Once Were Warriors (1994), and the lighthearted comedy Jubilee (2000).
In Hollywood, Curtis has played a range of different roles and ethnicities in films. He plays a Colombian in Blow (2001), an Arab in Three Kings (1999) and The Insider (1999), a Latino in Training Day (2001) and Runaway Jury (2003), and a drug dealer of ambiguous ethnicity in Bringing Out the Dead (1999). However, he is probably best known for his role as Paikea's father Porourangi, in Whale Rider (2002).
Carlos has a great memory. He said that he couldn't remember the guy's name, but remembered that he had starred along Bruce Willis in a movie. We can now confirm that movie is Live Free or Die Hard.
