Bigger Chicago Douche: Billy Corgan or Jeremy Piven?

You taking art lessons ole?

As for the questions. Corgan is a musician, and it at times goes with the territory. Piven has hipster tendencies, so Piven hands down.

not sure how much common knowledge this is, but piven's character in entourage is based on rahm emanuel's brother. (I don't watch entourage because I think I might stab myself in the jugular if I did.) I still think corgan is the bigger douche, though.

also, art lessons? I was trying to google a pic of the white walker from tonight's episode of game of thrones and white walker texas ranger came up.

I met Corgan before. He's something else, but not a full on douche, unless someone started with him. Really different around kids, I think he either likes helping kids out, or likes being looked up to, not a pedo(AFAICT). I've definitely met douchier Chicagoans. I didn't know that about Piven, but considering how universal the hate is, I would have to go with door number douche on this one.

I guess, to your point, crystallas, the fan started it after corgan invited him onstage.

I liked entourage. I also think Piven can be funny ever since watching The Goods so, take it for what it's worth.

I did not see the Goods, or Larry Sanders (but it's on the list). So Billy Corgan wins.

Piven is starring in a PBS series called Mr. Selfridge. They are in their second year and he is magnificent portraying an eccentric American that goes to London around 1910 and creates the most exciting retail store in the world. Many of his retail techniques are still used today

More annoying, new Blackhawks fans or HBO fans?

Since neither can seem to manage talking about anything else, I figured it's a fair question.

My wife swears by that show, and that's not a rip on you or anything.
First, it's a period piece and it looks and feel like London 100 years ago. The costumes are pretty cool and you see that people got dressed up for dinner or just hanging out in their houses, not like me posting this while naked. It's a story of a guy that had a vision in an oppressive era where the term "do your own thing" wasnt part of society vernacular. The guy was the Thomas Edison of the retail world. Piven is great in this as a charming guy that had women, money, fame and had fun doing it. Yes, and chicks get boned in this show which is enough for any man to watch

On a side note: I was at a business dinner last week with an English guy. I asked him if he had ever been to the Selfridge store in London. He says, yeah, I was just in there the last week. Said it's still a great store
