Brad Pitt's Mayoral Platform: No Religion, Legalizing Pot And Gay Marriage (VIDEO)
August 13, 2009
Brad Pitt is running for mayor for mayor!
Pitt's interview with Ann Curry aired on Thursday's 'Today' show, and New Orleans' most prominent Katrina rebuilder thanks to his Make it Right Foundation joked about running for mayor of the Louisiana town, as locals have taken to wearing "Brad Pitt for Mayor" T-shirts.
"I don't have a chance," Pitt told Curry. "I'm running on the gay marriage, no religion, legalization and taxation of marijuana platform."
Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie's answer about whether they will ever wed has been, for years, that they will get married when gay marriage is legalized.
The reformed family man also recently told Parade that he used to smoke "grass."
The interview was pretaped in New Orleans a week ago, as Monday Pitt was in LA for his 'Inglourious Basterds' premiere and Wednesday he was in New York for the premiere of 'The Time Traveler's Wife,' which he executive produced.
I wonder if Ronald Reagan knew what he was starting ...
or Mayor Clint Eastwood ...
or Governor Arnold "The Terminator" Schwarzenegger
or Senator Al Franken.
Then there was Jesse Ventura ...
And the beat goes on.
Of course, anyone from any walk of life can run for anything and some make good whatever it is they get elected to.
Yet Pitt just seems to be in it for the shock value.
What does he mean by "no religion?" Does he want to outlaw it?
