“He Has an Abnormal Brain”

Separated at birth?
The photo on the left is of Peter Boyle as “The Creature” in Young Frankenstein. The picture on the right is of Peter Arnett as The Creature in Baghdad. Explains a lot of the senseless noises, doesn’t it?
I’m glad that I’m not the only one in the world that has noticed that Peter Arnett looks like Peter Boyle.
My vote for worst combover (or whatever the hell that is) so far in the 21st century.
OMG !!!!
Well, now that Arnett has lost his job at MSNBC, I’ll bet I know what he’s singing.
“If you’re blue and you don’t know where to go then why don’t you go where fashion fits…”
“Nnngghh-nnghh nnngghhhh nnngghh!”
(Tr.: “Puttin’ on the Ritz!”)
Let’s not get insulting here. You’d need some pretty third-rate corpses to produce a monstrosity of the level of Lord Pete-Pete. Dr. Frawn-Ken-Steen would never produce such shoddy work.
I bet Arnett doesn’t have an enormous schwanschtukka though.
Not only did the BBC give him a job, I heard that “Hair Club for Weasels” has hired him as a ‘poster child’.
He could also be a poster child for ‘pro choice’.
I’ll bet he gets all the chicks.
Me Too!
“I think that Arnett, in his latest incarnation, resembles nothing so much as Peter Boyle playing The Monster in Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein. Perhaps Arnett, like the Monster, can go on to a career in show biz. ”
That was in appalling bad taste.
Keep up the good work !
marshalldunn, that truly is a terrible combover, but the title of worst combover is still firmly in the hands of the Iraqi ambassador to the UN.
I admit, it could simply be a matter of photographic convenience (i.e. when speaking at the UN the top of the guy’s head tends to be visible), but I still think he wins.
Do I smell ‘Cloning Gone Wild’ ?
I guess that’s what they mean by “manufacturing opinion”…
ah sweet mystery of life at last I’ve found you…
For future reference: There is no such thing as a good combover.
Boyle, but with a Zero Mostel hair style
Now, that’s a good excuse for an abortion.
smoke…gooood…smoke…goooood…saddam….gooood….bush baaaaad…
The scary part is the Peter Boyle’s character looks positively NORMAL next to Peter Arnett!!
Get rid of the rest of Arnett’s hair and he would be a dead-on likeness for Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now.
Hey, don’t insult the monster! What did Peter Boyle ever do to you?
Sure, laugh. Now the U.S. is FREE TO BOMB BABY MILK FACTORIES all over Iraq and no one will KNOW!
I guess he has a new reason to grunt, “Fire, bad!”
Who is Mike Jones?????
My album is coming soon. SWISHAHOUSE!
UPDATE: In addition to the Mirror, Arnett has now been hired by PETA for their “I’d rather go naked than wear fur” campaign. A spokesperson for the organization claims that “with Arnett on board, we are pretty sure NOBODY would sell fur again!”
Let that be a lesson to all reporters or so called reporters. On this side we at least try to tell the truth. HEY PETER, AL-JAZEERA IS HIRING!
The horror…the horror…
“PBR Street Gang, this is Almighty, over…
This is Almighty, standing by, over.
This is Almighty, how do you copy, over…”
MSNBC: Arnett, pack your gear, you’re done.
Arnett/Kurtz: Are you an assassin?
MSNBC: Whazit?! You are insane. You. Are. Fired.
Arnett/Kurtz: You’re an errand boy sent by grocery clerks…
MSNBC: [sigh]…Umm…whatever…Just take off the damn black pajamas.
He’s so ugly, he’d make a train take a dirt road.
The resemblance is uncanny. Peter Doyle’s role in the 1973 flick “The Friends Of Eddie Coyle” is more representative of Arnett’s character however. In this film Doyle portrays the prototypical Rat Bastard.
Shock and “Augh!”, indeed
The Mother of All Comb-Overs
I think I might have found a third member of the family…
I believe that the journalistic career of Peter Arnett has been distinguished by remarkable and, frequently, forthright achievement…a record of so many extraordinary scoops. In this instance, his sin was, indeed, particularly, egregious. It must be viewed or considered, I would contend, in the context of his entire history of outstanding journalistic workmanship. I feel substantial sympathy for his fate.
Someone needs to revoke Arnett’s visa while he is still out of the country, then he could rent a room from AL-JAZERRA just before our Marines and BOMBS arrive!!!
OH yeah this is funny. I was blocked from AlfredNYC’s blog for making an off-handed remark toward Peter A. Guess not everyone can take a joke. But this is great! Thanx. Scriveling sent me this way.
