Morning Meme: Daniel Radcliffe Discusses Bullying, Jake Silbermann Is a "Stuffer," and Zack Snyder Lands "Superman"

Daniel Radcliffe has been a vocal supporter of The Trevor Project for quite some time, so it’s no surprise he’s speaking out about the epidemic of GLBT teen suicides from bullying. “Learning about the suicide deaths of Tyler Clementi, Seth Walsh, Asher Walker, Billy Lucas and Justin Aaberg has been heartbreaking for me. These young people were bullied and tormented by people that should have been their friends. We have a responsibility to be better to each other, and accept each others' differences regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ability, or religion and stand up for someone when they're bullied."

Ben Silverman, the man many say nearly destroyed NBC, is set to produce I Hate This Place with Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara. Based on a Spanish program called Aquí no hay quien viva, it centers on a building superintendant and wacky tenants.

MTV continues to take the lead on the rash of teen suicides, releasing an iPhone app called Over the Line that teens can use to share stories of bullies and find support. The app ties into the existing Facebook and web app of the same name.

Our military has decided it’s a good idea to have robots guarding a Nevada nuclear dump. I’ve seen this movie, and it doesn’t turn out well for the humans.

Zack Snyder will be directing Superman from the Nolan brothers. He doesn’t know the villain, the story, or who will play the title role, or if he does, he’s not telling. But he says he’s starting up as soon as he finishes Suckerpunch.

There will be a fourth Bourne movie, with Tony Gilroy as director, but here’s the problem: Matt Damon has said he will only do another Bourne movie with the same director he’s done the others with, so they might have to recast. Also, I only remember Robert Ludlum writing three Bourne books, and hacks have written the others, so why not just stop?

In the world of the Teaparty, there are no public government services like a fire department. The same is true of a rural area of Tennessee, where if you fall behind on your license fee to the local for-profit fire department, they’ll  come out and make sure it doesn’t spread to your paid-up neighbor’s house and watch yours burn to the ground.

The first images for the proposed Islamic Community Center several blocks away from Ground Zero in New York are out, and it’s a beautiful building. Some are saying it reminds them of the Fortress of Solitude.

Comedian Ralphie May was busted for pot possession in Guam after he stopped to pet the drug sniffing dogs at the airport and they smelled it on him. Fortunately Guam has mild possession laws for less than an ounce. True story: When I went to New Zealand the bags came out on the conveyor at the airport, and the dogs hopped up and hurdled the bags while sniffing them as they rotated around. I wanted to toss them a treat.

Monkey butt!
