Paul Davidson And Donald Trump's Fantasy Apprentice

09.19.2005

Being Batman Isn't Easy

Should I be blunt and just come out and ask Paul Davidson to play Fantasy Apprentice? 'What!?!??', you say to this seemingly pointless question. Well, as trivial as it might be, this is how things like wars are started.

In the spring of 1933, a power hungry man named Adolf Hitler was surfing the web, and came across Yahoo Fantasy Führer. After playing the addictive game, he realized he wanted more, and as we say the rest is history.

Wait a second! Okay, back in 1933 there was no internet, or was there? Possible a low-tech version using tin cans and a piece of string. Hitler would yell into a can, "I am Führer, hear me roar" and someone else would shout back. Nevertheless, getting the idea in your head of being the leader of the world, country or even company can cause some people to have, let's say, emotional issues.

So, how does the madness of Adolf Hitler and Paul Davidson playing Fantasy Apprentice have anything to do with each other. Let me explain. Paul Davidson has some issues with Trump, first off his hair:

Trump’s head of hair. What’s going on there? I mean, I pause my TiVo regularly when there’s a good close-up shot of his head…just trying to find where it begins and where it ends. It’s like a huge head of brown-colored cotton candy, just plopped atop his head. It doesn’t move, no matter the wind coefficient. It does shift, no matter where he deposits his weight. It stays, solid.

It's almost like driving by a bad motor accident. You want to look, but you know you shouldn't. Maybe you catch a quick glance, or turn your head briefly as if you had another reason for facing in the direction of the carnage. A truly crazy person would stop their car, jump out and get up real close to see the horror. Hmmm, sounds like pausing the TiVo and zooming in to me.

There's also the issue of switching sides. There was this tv show called The Benefactor, which was the product of Mark Cuban. If there's one person who likes to think big, act big, and talk stupid, it's The Donald:

In a heated boardroom discussion, Trump became agitated when one Apprentice candidate did nothing to defend himself when attacked by one of his fellow Apprentice candidates. Trump then drew a parallel to his own life saying "Branson went after me, I killed him. Cuban, went after me, I killed him."

To put it mildly, Mark Cuban didn't like trumps remark about his show being a poor imitation of The Apprentice. I never recall seeing anyone play Jenga on The Apprentice, but it's Trump's prerogative to speak his mind. How does all this relate to Paul Davidson? Well, Pauly D (as the homies call him) worked for Cuban on The Benefactor. Mark Cuban has even posted on his website about Pauly D:

He actually worked on The Benefactor, so I think we are friends. Not the 'call him up all the time and ask how he is doing' type of friend, but I think he would at least stop if I had a flat tire type of friend. If I were in LA and wanted to hang out type of friend.

How many flat tire friends do you have? I'd say those are more common than the lend you $10,000 friend, but they are still worth having. And this is where it all comes together. Paul Davidson playing Fantasy Apprentice would be like President George W. Bush playing Fantasy Democrat. It's not supposed to happen. It's like stealing beer from your friend behind their back (even if it's just a flat tire friend).

There it is. Have I dangled the carrot, or dropped the almost worthless penny on the ground?
