Uma Thurman: Cheap, Just Like US

We are cheap bastards. Weíre not saying weíve actually picked a half-eaten banana out of the garbage can, but weíve thought about it. The less money we spend on frivolous things like bananas the more we have left for hookers. So weíd like to commend Uma Thurman for not only shopping at Old Navy, but for using coupons while doing so. Itís not like sheís collecting fat child-support checks from Ethan Hawke.

Weíre all for celebrities being thrifty, as long as itís harmless and doesnít hurt anybody or make us jealous. Celebs getting free Rolexes that they damn well could have paid for just for being famous = bad. Celebs taking advantage of a two-for-one sale on Charmin = good. So when Uma is shopping at a mall in upstate New York we have nothing against her using a coupon to get 30% off some polar-fleece vests and brightly colored corduroys. A girl canít live by Prada alone. What we do have something against, though, is a witness to the event contacting The New York Daily News to make the most groan-worthy joke in history about it. The witness said, "Maybe she is trying to kill her bills." Come on. We donít claim to be comedy geniuses (unless laughing whenever anyone says ìbutî constitutes genius) but even our eighty-seven-year-old grandma who hasnít left the nursing home in fifteen years would think that joke was lame. What did the witness do after that gem, look into the audience and say, ìUma, Old Navy, Uma, Old Navyî?
