Here's an article I stumble upon on msn..it's about a local writer fed up with bostonian celebs giving his town(Boston) a bad name...here's what he says about Boston Rob(Survivor) and Ben Affleck
'Boston' Rob Mariano
The former runner-up from "Survivor: All Stars" just finished traveling the globe with his fiancée (and "Survivor: All Stars" winner) Amber Brkich in the reality series "The Amazing Race." The couple failed to win the $1 million first-place prize (they came in second), so look for them at convenience stores across the Northeast playing scratch tickets and refusing to get real jobs. And when will Rob drop the "Boston" from his name? C'mon, man, you're embarrassing everyone.
The over-saturation of Rob and Amber will continue in late May, when CBS airs a special on their wedding ceremony in the Bahamas. To my great dismay, I won't be able to watch the ceremony that evening. I already made plans to rip my toenails off with pliers and chew on a ball of tinfoil. It should be more entertaining.
Ben Affleck
I've saved the worst for last. In the long and distinguished line of actors who have seen their careers crash and burn due to horrific role choices, Ben Affleck tops a list where the second-place finisher isn't even in the same solar system. At one time, he and his talented buddy Matt Damon were the toast of Boston, after winning the Oscar for penning "Good Will Hunting." But now, Ben has managed to fall so far from A-list celebrity status, he finds himself playing celebrity poker and competing for Hollywood roles with Steve Guttenberg and the guy who played Turbo in the "Breakin'" movies.
Through quirky, challenging roles, Damon seems genuinely sincere in exploring the craft of acting. Affleck takes such mind-numbing roles that they couldn't entertain a group of chimpanzees after they ate a batch of pot brownies. And I don't care how much fame or fortune he acquires, to me, Affleck was the clown in high school who joined the drama club in an attempt to make out with the chick who lacked confidence but appreciated theater.
The guy is a complete sham. He touts himself as a maniacal Red Sox fan, but I'd be willing to bet that before he became famous, Affleck never stepped foot in Fenway Park more than 10 times. Sure, when playoff time comes around, he escorts J.Lo or Jennifer Garner to their box seats wearing a glove, hoping to catch a foul ball and carrying on like a diehard, but true citizens of Red Sox nation know that deep down, Ben would rather be back at the Ritz Carlton catching the last 15 minutes of "JAG" and making an appointment to have his chest waxed.
Man, he drives me nuts. He's from my home town and, damn him, he won't let me, or anyone else here in Boston, forget it.
Chris Coakley is a native of Boston. Besides possessing a flawless technique performing a keg stand, this Renaissance man enjoys poetry, tap dancing and pillow fights.
