It's by a guy named Lucian Piane. At his MySpace page (below), you can hear other remixes containing Bill O'Reilly's meltdown ("F-*k It") as well as "Don't Taze Me Bro" and "Sarah Palin Remixed."

Judging from the amount of publicity it's generating, it's certainly not hurting his career.

That's definitely a good piece. I think he was a bit out of line and should have treated the dp a little more respectfully, but the dp sounds like an idiot. I know I've lashed out at coworkers from time to time when I'm stressed out. I usually use better language and keep it to under a minute, though.

An actor worth close to a billion dollars that drives a 30 year old beat-up pick-up truck? It's obvious he only thinks about ways to belittle people and show them how good he is. Rolling Eyes

Why is it actors think their job is so important that they can get away with acting like twats?
Acting can't be that hard. Imagine if doctors, teachers, or social workers behaved like that.

Absolutely disgusting behavior.


He's devastated, I'm certain.

Never seen a chef going off in the kitchen?

NEver seen a korean wonjungnim going off at this teachers?

never seen a boss going off at his staff for not working hard enough??

what you never seen argueing at the work place??

man do you live a sheltered life...

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

when someone is out of line at work the boss should let the person know!
some people react differently under stress...
I have worked for people worse than that! and seen them GO CRAZY at work, then a couple hours later when the job is done everyone is sitting around having beers...

DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY AND THEN YOU WONT GET SCOULDED!
act like a dick and then expect a telling off...

Im standing by bale!! what he did was fair enough..
he is stressed, working hard, and people are not respecting him...

I guess he must be kind of stressed out having to work for millions of dollars, whilst people fawn around him treating him like a demi-god. Poor little Christian...
I can understand him being a bit pissed off, but the way he spoke down to him was unbelievable.

And in each one of those cases, the type of language and threats used would be out of line.

If I used this language as a manager, I would have opened my company up to a massive suit had it been recorded.. or at least lost my job (ok, maybe just sent for 're-training').

His actions disgust me.

I just gained a whole lotta respect for the guy! Very Happy Everything he said rang true. Incompetent, unprofessional people (especially those who ruin good actors' best, most emotionally convincing takes) deserve to be put in their place.

Basically it was hilarious.

That was an awesome RANT!!!

What I found weird is how he'd go in and out of a North American accent and some other kind of accent. Anyone notice that?

All that aside, you shouldn't be speaking to people like that at any job - even if the stage guy was acting like an azz. But when you're the STAR of the show I guess you can do whatever the *beep* you want without fear of retribution.

wonder what his rep is like in Hollywood now or if he was already known to be a dick.

i'd like to see Saturday Night Live do a parody of this next weekend

I doubt there's an actor alive worth close to a billion. Maybe the likes of Arnie or Tom Cruise. And where would he even get a 30 year old truck? You could get a late 90s Sonata or a Camry or a Taurus or something for the same price. Whats the point of driving such a vehicle?
