:no:

AWWWWWWWWWWWW!

meh, not nearly as insulting as David Spade was last night, or Jimmy Kimmel.

What day was that?

I didn't think the cartoon was insulting.

I think it's sort of sweet

That wasn't insulting at all. It was cute. ET looked sad, huh?

And since when did David Spade and his opinion carry any weight. Last time I checked he was giving out DVD's of Joe Dirt for free.

Thanks for the link....I really loved the cartoon, and thought that it was indeed a sad ET....missing Elliott.

I was expecting something really horrible! It's actually cute. It seems like ET is just depressed as we are that Elliott was going home :(.

awww. even ET is sad about Elliott going home. :(

Oh, yes!!!! Even the extra-terrestial cries for Elliott!!!

Gawd, I was in high school when I saw this movie. :rolleyes:

:rotfl:
NOW that is FUNNY!

Awwwwww. Sniff.

^ yep, just goes to show how awesome Elliott's talent is. ;D

awwwww......okay tear....that was exactly what my niece kept saying although it was sadder and along the lines of "elliott no go":(

I thought it was sweet, too.

awww. that was cute. and that did bring a few tears.

i still can't believe E's gone. :(

Aw, how sweet!

ET was sad. No slam there. It was touching.

David Spade ~ who cares what this dope says. He needs to back and peddle his .... oh what the heck is that stupid commericial he's on? It's been on TV in various forms 1000 times, yet he makes SUCH an impression on me, I can't even recall what it's for. I heard he bashed El's looks. Um, David, hon, somebody has obviously beaten you with an ugly stick, so I certainly wouldn't rag on anyone else. Besides, Elliott has 100s of women in love w/ him. Mr. Spade is probably still a virgin. lol

I realize that for many of you, here, ET (the alien) is not recognizable (I'm old). But, this is truly a complimentary cartoon.

Richmond, VA, would have nothing negative on Elliott.

Awwwww!!!

Thanks for sharing that!!!

What did David Spade and Jimmy Kimmel say?

Love your avator!

Very sweet.

I love this cartoon! ET looks so sad. Just like I feel.

I thought that was very touching. A very cute way to put how we all felt.

I saw david spade on either letterman or leno and he was so sloppy. his hair is all over the place, he looked out of shape, and can't even sit right in a chair!

i don't even want to know what he said about elliott. the guy is a negative nothing whose career is on the way out.

:) I thought the cartoon was kind of cute. I don't think they meant anything disparaging against Elliott. This cartoon was in Elliott's hometown newspaper. Richmond loves Elliott. They're not trying to harm him. I think it was cute. ET was kinda sad Elliott was going home!

Well if you take it in context, the name of the kid in ET was 'Elliott'. I didn't think this was insulting at all. ET was not supposed to be represent Elliott here, ET was supposed to be Elliott's friend rooting for him even from another planet.
