Naw, wouldn’t want to put you out of a job. Then I’d have nothing to read!

And, yes, impaired driving is a very serious subject.

Move on to something important??? My God, do you want to put me out of a job?

(actually, impaired driving is a subject I take very seriously)

… Yep, you sure sound fair and impartial to me …

Oh, and a fractured neck definitely qualifies as suffering!

I’ve decided to rebut after all, since I do feel the need to clarify some of the things that have been leveled against me that are completely untrue and unfair.

#2…my intent, as you put it, was not to tear down Orlando Bloom, but to show that there are many sides to one story. I can’t help it if you are not capable of seeing any side but one.

I went out of my way, and made a long article longer, attempting to show that while some say he had been drinking and was drunk, others say he had not been drinking and was not drunk; that while some say he was driving erratically, others say it was the paparazzi’s fault; while some say he was stumbling around and acting drunk, others say that he was acting normally. I even noted myself that on the video of the accident scene he was not VISIBLY acting intoxicated…although, in video of before the accident, he WAS APPEARING to act somewhat tipsy.

I also made the point that you cannot gauge drunkenness or if someone is impaired by too much alcohol by how they appear. The only way to do that is through a breathalyzer test…which was not given to him, at least that we know of.

Head injuries to the front of the head/face do bleed quickly and profusely, as the blood is very close to the surface of the skin there. Even a small cut will bleed everywhere. I know, I’ve had a cut from a car accident in approximately the same area on my face as the woman in the video and I required five stitches to close it. I also bled profusely from it in the same manner. So yes, he should have stayed around to check his passengers. He should have checked anyway, even if there were no visible signs of injury.

I also have had accidents such as Orlando’s. In none of them did I attempt to walk off or flee the scene. If you watch the video you see that he gets out of the car and leaves. He does NOT stop or turn around until one of the photographers tells him that he could be charged with hit and run. ONLY then does he turn around and go back. He does not appear at any point to have any sort of head injury that would cause him to be disoriented. That is on the video, so if you want to take umbrage with me for reporting what is on the video then so be it. But you can’t argue with the facts captured on tape.

As far as him being a Buddhist…well, of course, how silly of me…no person who follows any certain religion has ever done something that is against their professed religion. So I guess that option is out, right? As so many have already pointed out, his being a Buddhist doesn’t preclude his having a drink. Yes, on the night in question perhaps he went overboard with his drinking, with the consequences that you see here. But just because he is a Buddhist doesn’t mean he doesn’t drink, just as because someone is a Christian doesn’t mean they don’t steal (for example).

Since you know nothing about me, or know what I believe or don’t believe, or whether I believe in good or no, or what tragedies I have gone through in my life, I suggest you keep your comments relevant to the article. I attempted to show both sides of the story and ask pertinent questions relating to the night (well, the greaseball question maybe wasn’t, but that was just because I don’t see what is so attractive and sexy about the man, and since I’ve been asked to write for the site I can ask whatever I want).

I can’t help it if people like you want to see this action as “tearing down” Orlando Bloom. I have no desire to do so. Frankly, he is barely a blip on my radar. But certain people will always see any negative comments about a certain star, even truthful ones, as evil…even when it isn’t there.
