Did anyone watch The Today Show this morning? For those of you not in the US you probably can't watch the video because NBC is like that. They don't care about the rest of the world. So, let me summarize it for you. Richard Hatch says he went to jail because he is gay. WTF? Umm, you went to jail because you tried to screw the US Government out of their rightful share of taxes off your Survivor winnings. The tax man doesn't care if you have sex with donkeys and get paid for it as long as you report the income from having sex with those donkeys.
The government looks at the numbers and doesn't check their gaydar before deciding to prosecute. Oh, and instead of just admitting he was wrong and maybe got some leniency he decided to lie during the trial while under oath. What did that have to do with being gay?
I'll let Sue Hawk speak for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBSMBfoMVHk
ReplyDeleteOddly, I can watch it over here in England but the man is full of crap. Why play the sexuality card if you're in the wrong? It doesn't negate that fact, you bloody moron.
ReplyDeleteGood grief, why is this even an exclusive story? No doubt they paid for it and it won't be going to Mr IRS either.
DNfromMN, that avatar looks familiar.
ReplyDeleteSo, instead of filing his 2000 income tax return by April 2001 like the rest of us peons, his accountants were still working on the returns in 2002? Did he ever file them?
ReplyDeleteHe sickens me, like all those people on the Roni Deutch commercials: "I owed the IRS $500,000, but Roni helped be settle for $1,700."
I don't care whether he's gay or not. I just can't stand the arrogance of someone thinking they're so special they don't have to pay taxes when everyone else does.
Gross -- and who does he think he's fooling? He didn't report the income -- it's not wages with withholding, he's supposed to report the income and file the taxes owed. This is total b.s. -- the IRS does not send anyone a fricken bill! Anyone who has ever won more than $600 or made more than $600 at any kind of job or on a project or through a client that doesn't employ that person and withhold wages knows this.
ReplyDeleteWay to prove his point. Christ, Vegas withholds taxes from your winnings after a certain point and nobody who ever won a game show got their winnings without paying taxes. It's one of the reasons that people will take the cash values rather than the prize. I had a friend that won big but could pay the tax on the prize so ended up taking the cash minus taxes. I have no doubt that CBS fucked up. Whether or not it's because he's gay; who knows.
ReplyDeleteI saw part of this while waiting for my local weather before work and went WTF did he just say?
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts were,"It's not because you're gay, it's more likely because you're an arogant twit".
Anyone else catch the number of times in this interview this twat SAID MATT LAUER IS GAY???
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
Watch the clip again, but this time while seeking clues that Hatch is saying Matt is gay. Especially when he uses the plural reference to "gay guys". Too funny.
Otherwise? Can't somebody shoot this festering assblister in the ear with a laser gun and get rid of him? Please?
I could care less if he's a turd-burglar, a muff-diver, or a monk.
Just another pathetic whiner who is SORRY he got caught - not sorry he committed a crime. NEXT!
The dude is hella stupid. The same year he won Survivor, he appeared on Who Wants to Be a Millionnaire in Australia. The host asked him, "What is twelve times eleven?". Without hesitation he replied, "123, lock it in." What a prat!!
ReplyDeleteNo, he's jumping on the "poor, persecuted minority" bandwagon so he doesn't have to take any responsibility for his actions. It's all the rage these days, you know! It's the culture of victimhood, and everyone who enables it (and there are many of you on this site) should take a good, long look to see what you've helped create. I hope you're very proud.
