< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence John Mayer Doesn't Care That You Think He's a Douchebag![]() GOLD STANDARD IN 'BAGGERY John John, you see, has frequently been called a douchebag, and isn't quite sure why: "Trouble is, I'm not really clear on what it means, and I don't know that anyone does. I know that I get called one. Pete Wentz from Fallout Boy, by measure of a google search, is a douchebag 11,100 times over, or the number of results that the search engine says exist. Zach Braff, who himself wrote one of the better films I've seen in the last decade is also frequently 'bagged, as is some guy named Brody Jenner. In fact, if you want to go big, so is Michael Stipe, Bono ("supreme douchebag"), Thom Yorke, Will Smith and Brad Pitt." After a bit of philosophical musing ("Is it someone that comes off obnoxious? Self aggrandizing? Ignorant? Or is it just someone who exists out of another person's comfort zone?"), Mayer comes to the conclusion that, actually, he just doesn't care: "I personally don't mind being called a douchebag. I've met my fair share of bloggers, and I'm much, much taller than them." We told you he was funny! Also, judging from the photo Mayer uses to illustrate his post, it seems he does have a pretty good idea of what constitutes a douchebag. I think that playing jazz-rock and dating Jessica Simpson, and then comparing yourself to David Bowie, is pretty darn 'baggy.
