Mark Wahlberg wants to be pardoned for an assault that landed him in jail when he was 16, presumably because he is reformed. But that might not be the case. While high on drugs, Wahlberg whacked a Vietnamese man in the head with a heavy stick in an attempt to steal two cases of beer he was carrying, in his Massachusetts hometown. He was also verbally and racially abusive. It turns out the man did not lose an eye from the beating, but Mark served 45 days in jail. He was a bully. Now he wants the incident removed from his record, but he has never apologized to his victim. Actually Mark wants the felony removed because he wants to open a chain of restaurants (Wahlburgers) with his brothers, and some states won’t allow felons to do so. So maybe he hasn’t changed all that much.

MPAA IS RIGHT: PRODUCERS SHOULD BLEEP THE OBSCENITIES OUT OF “BULLY” AND SHUT UP

We are firmly behind the (Motion Picture Association of America) MPAA’s decision to give the documentary “Bully” an “R” rating because of f-words in the dialog. That means children under 17 can’t see the movie without a parent or guardian. Actually we are grateful that the MPAA is doing their job. Sure, it would be nice for teens to see this, but believe it or not, there ARE parents who don’t use profanity at home and hope their children won’t. Hearing it on the street and seeing the words used on TV or in movies are two very different things. Reality shows manage to bleep the crude words out of their soundtracks daily without spoiling the action. Why couldn’t Bully’s high and mighty producers do the same thing? They KNEW the words would earn an R rating and shouldn’t have asked for trouble. All this fuss to DEFEND the use of the f- word? The world would be better off with LESS crudity. Hang in there MPAA – somebody has to maintain decent standards!
