The Death of CJac.com

I received a bombshell this morning that rocked the fragile equilibrium of CarlosJacott.com. Noah Baumbach, who directs a lot of the movies that Carlos has been in, answers questions from his fans on his website. One wrote in and asked Noah if Carlos was associated with CarlosJacott.com (question 252 here). Carlos responded with the following:

I have absolutely nothing to do with that web site. I'm one of my least favorite actors so it's unlikely that I'd devote free time to that tripe. Why someone else would is beyond me. I'd sue but I just don't care enough

My response to Carlos's response:

Ouch. My bad.

To elaborate, I think Carlos may have some confidence issues. I don't understand how he could misconstrue CarlosJacott.com as something mean or spiteful, but apparently he has. Since he is clearly not a fan of anything regarding that site except the impending legal action, I am going to be taking CarlosJacott.com down tomorrow. I thought it was a cool and amusing site, but I'm not going to be taken to court over a story about Carlos getting kidnapped by a Japanese prune juice company. I certainly had a good time doing it, and I'm glad Carlos revealed his lack of sense of humor now, as opposed to 6 months from now, when I planned to begin blasting a model of his face onto Mt. McKinley.

On the bright side, can anyone imagine a cooler way to wind up a website? If it's going to go down, it needs to go down in spectacular fashion.

it is better to burn out (or take your site down due to apathetic, litigious D-list actors and their frighteningly zealous minions) than fade away.

Hell leave it up, I'm sure you can get it to evolve into a conspiracy/bomb making/porn site.

Nunchuks, you hit the nail on the head. Here's hoping Carlos can now go back to yelling at kids to get off his lawn, or whatever curmudgeonly activity he occupies himself with.
