If he had a million dollars...

...he probably would not have gotten caught snorting cocaine in New York...Or maybe it's because he does have a million dollars he was caught snorting snow...
I went to watch Batman this past Sunday, with Renee and Gabriel. Before the movie started, we were treated to the usual commercials we paid for (I always wonder how
they managed to get us to pay for advertisements). One of those commercials is about a couple of guys with a cooking show on some cooking channel. I've seen this ad a few times, but I never pay attention to it.
This time there was something peculiar about it. It was the buzz in the theater, which means that there is such a thing a bad publicity (
well, maybe). The singer from the Barenaked Ladies was in the commercial. That in itself is not weird at all; what was peculiar was that as soon as it came out he was no longer "the guy that sings in the Barenaked Ladies" but "the cokehead guy from the Barenaked Ladies"--this is a direct quote from a couple of people around my seat. In truth, it was the first thing that came to my mind, too: "hey, that's the guy that got caught doing coke."
I'm sure history will judge him better than we did, and he'll likely be known for being a singer and not for being a coke-junkie. In all fairness, he hasn't been tried for the crime, but he was arrested and charged for his partying ways.
Oh, and the movie...I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but Bruce Wayne is The Batman.
