WORST. INTERVIEW. EVER.

July 09th, 2007 @ 08:53 - by JonCoyLawsuitBoy

What a lame interview, he didn’t really say anything of substance.

uhm, "it was awsome seeing Jona skating again!"

that's enough substance for me.

Mad respect for the man. but is he dumb???
What an way to PR your brand???
Why cant he be more sincere and answer the questions like Shane C. ?? This is not an interview.

No knowledge to the people
