Ludacris is my #1 hero

(this man has been in more Oscar-nominated films than you and Marisa Tomei combined)

Watching last night's Academy Awards show, I realized a man named Chris Bridges, aka Chris Lova Lova or more widely known as Ludacris, deserves to be nominated into the Douchebag Justice League Hall of Heroes.

Not only did he, with a straight face, introduce a performance of 'It's hard out here for a pimp' by the Three 6 Mafia on The freaking Academy Awards, he also managed to score bit parts in films that made up for 40% of the films in the best motion picture category.

Where Snoop Dogg has to play the punchline in movies like Old School and Starsky & Hutch, and Kanye West has to resort to telethons to make a statment, Ludacris manages to piss off Bill O'Reilly with a song like 'Move Bitch' and also playing a two-bit thief with a conscience in Crash.

Perhaps most impressive of all, this was a man who went from co-starring with Academy Award's equivalent of gonnarhea (Paul Walker) in 2 Fast 2 Furious to Crash in a few steps. If that's not a true American success story, I don't know what is.

The result is concrete: Ludacris is not a douchebag.
