Things That Make You Go "Huh?"

Jessica Simpson's public persona has to be one of the most ignorant that I've ever seen:

"I really liked the surprise ending!"
-- Jessica Simpson, on seeing The Passion

She's probably doing pretty well in terms of money at this point, but good grief. If she were known for sarcastic or otherwise witty remarks, this remark would have been amusing and worth a positive laugh. The light in which it was probably presented earns a derisive snort. That is to say, "laughing at you, not laughing with you." Just another example of how surface beauty (and a lot of it; she's a looker!) doesn't mean there's a brain beneath.

Tip of the Wisconsin hat to Spare Change.

UPDATE: An eagle-eyed reader has written to note that they think it's satire. I thought it was a plausible remark, given her Chicken of the Sea comment. As to the truth of the matter, I have no idea. Thanks to my correspondent for taking the time to write.
