Actually it was not a typical expression, it was so atypical that it deserved to be singled out and criticized. Threatening physical violence against someone (even when said in jest) is not something that should be taken lightly. In some cases, threats like that, would be followed up by a visit from the police. Please remember to switch your brain on before making a comment. I make that recommendation based on the many comments I have made with the brain switch set to the off position.  It's the way we talk nowadays. We say things like "punch back twice as hard", "if the other guy brings a knife to the fight, we bring a gun", "keep our boot on the neck of BP", etc. You get the gist. |

This has no depth whatsoever.
I'm not a big fan, but Chris Isaak is far from "finished". He has a pretty large, loyal following. He may not make "hit records", but that is not the only definition of success. |

Not when you're using it as a descriptive quality to explain the way someone acts. I didn't call anyone a douche bag, I just said Chris Isaak acts like a douche bag, which he does - he may or may not be one. This other dude called this guy an idiot... pretty harshly blunt... it's all about intent. And in no offense to women, or women hygiene products.... but douche bag has come to mean a certain type of guy in slang, clearly. |

I don't like Isaak either. He acts like a douche bag and his TV show was beyond terrible.

Window - why rely on the friends of a girl you know? Go see for yourself. You might like it, creepy or otherwise. He delivers an experience, any way you weigh it. |

Isn't this what brought Elvis so much attention, accolades & thrust Rock n Roll into the limelight? |

Don't forget he's also a comedian. Plus the music sounds good. |

This has no depth whatsoever. Yes, the only memorable thing was the model, Helena Christensen. |
