UCLA Taps Saul Silver, er, James Franco for Commencment Speaker

What a "flyboy." Get it? Because he was in Flyboys? Eh.

So University of California-Los Angeles selected one of its famous alumni to be commencement speaker at this year's graduation. James Franco, current actor/Ivy Leaguer/Sean Penn-tongue kisser got the job bestowed upon him from a committee of students. How EVAH, someone no likey. No likey to the point a Facebook group was created. Go, EW!:

A UCLA senior majoring in English who opposed a decision to
feature James Franco (Milk, Pineapple Express) as this year's commencement speaker has created a Facebook
page to protest the move. Already, some 300 people have become "friends" of
the cause -- the creation of Erin Moore, 21, who wrote on the page that "James
Franco has been chosen as the speaker for the College of Letters and Sciences
Commencement Ceremony for 2009. Clearly, this is ridiculous. Anyone who has been in his classes knows he is an average student at UCLA. This is an accomplishment
while working in his industry, but he is our academic peer, which makes him an
inappropriate choice for a keynote speaker."

This chick my have a legitamate beef. She did say Franco was an average student at best and he was pictured sleeping in class. But shit, nobody ever should take that gift away from muthaf'n Saul Silver, his character from Pineapple Express. I swear, though, that crucifix blunt he lit up in the movie is all bullsh*t. You get all the same stuff from a regular blunt. It's just harder to light up. You need a partner. You know what else I need a partner for? A Dutch rudder. Those are glorious. Oh, yeah. James Franco. What were we talking about? All this angel dust is making me wish Carrot Top was the commencement speaker. Oh, look, I have all ten of my fingers. Weird.
