[–]gerrettheferrett 72 points73 points ago

That man is out to buy some serious groceries, like nobodies business. His gaze... it pierces the soul.

[–]GetYourAlbatros 145 points146 points ago

You can see it in his eyes; the realization that this is it, all there will ever be: a plastic basket and an aisle of high fructose corn syrup laden snacks, with names like Homestead and Farm Fresh blinking banally out from their colorful packaging. They taunt him with memories of long ago, of old villages covered in snow, of raider’s war songs and the cries of the maimed, of blood and fire.

Inflamed, he tilts back his head and roars.

Afterward, the clerk at the checkout will swear she heard him scream “I am Viking, I kill what I eat,” as he kicked over the shelf, pounding oreos and hobnobs alike into the linoleum floor before storming from the building, his basket discarded, his eco-friendly bag unused.

[–]ShmokeShtack 16 points17 points ago

I was going to scroll past this because it was long. I am so god damn happy I didn't.

Dear lord that is amazing.

[–]Shoola 9 points10 points ago

I think he's confused as to what he's holding in his hand. Normally his assistant uses what you mortals refer to as "baskets."

[–]sh1thead 2 points3 points ago

I use a midget on rollerskates. When I'm at home, I swap out his skates for cute little mop slippers.

[–]Thydamine 51 points52 points ago

He just looks like a famous person. His stance, his face; I look like a nobody when I shop for groceries.

[–]chwilliam 87 points88 points ago

Eric Northman does not simple shop for groceries.

[–]Not_Korean_Enough 68 points69 points ago

He goes to supermarkets, where food begs to be selected by him

[–]montu7777 4 points5 points ago

he still looks like he's gonna rip your face off. then eat it with a white wine sauce.

[–]MelissaMarie 1 point2 points ago

I beg to be selected by him.

[–]Amie89 18 points19 points ago

He can shop at my store ANY day.

[–]Ozzymandias 1 point2 points ago

Indeed, he instead relies on a procurer.

[–]thatguy73 0 points1 point ago

He's a star I guess but who is he? I've never heard of him.

[–]GARBAGEDAYY 17 points18 points ago

Alexander Skarsgard. He plays Eric on True Blood.

[–]DrHaydenBeleauxs 12 points13 points ago

Also plays one of the male models who dies in a freak gasoline fight accident on Zoolander

[–]scubaguybill 7 points8 points ago

[–]childrapeiswrong 6 points7 points ago

Dude. It's Skarsgård.

[–]GARBAGEDAYY 1 point2 points ago

I have no idea how to do that symbol.

[–]BeardedBuddha 1 point2 points ago

Try writing it like this:

&a ring;

(Remove the space in the middle).

Other nordic/danish chars include: "æ" (&ae lig;) and "ø" (&o slash;)

[–]Amie89 2 points3 points ago

Also plays Kirsten Dunst's husband in Melancholia.

[–]localh81 11 points12 points ago

It's real. I print this magazine. They have this section in every issue. Once a week. Worst piece of filth we print.

[–]neverreadytoleave[S] 50 points51 points ago

Oh it's absolutely real. It's from the July 9th, 2012 issue of Us magazine.

[–]StuartGibson 36 points37 points ago

That seems a misnomer. Surely if it's a magazine for the plebs to read about famous people it should be called "Them"?

[–]BlurryBlue 101 points102 points ago

No like we can't believe stars use baskets.

[–]PlasmaWhore 27 points28 points ago

whoosh. and a double whoosh to all the people who upvoted you.

[–][deleted] 22 points23 points ago

I'm pretty sure it's actually a triple whoosh on you.

I'm hoping, anyway.

He's bullshitting us. He learned it yesterday.

[–]physicscat 1 point2 points ago

Alexander Skarsgard.

[–]Zamaza 37 points38 points ago

I like how he's almost looking at the text, as if he's going "Don't you caption my photo with that shit."

[–]dutch83 68 points69 points ago

What he doing out during the day!

[–]fleeingthephlegethon 26 points27 points ago

It's obviously night and he's indoors. That or he's going the way Godric did. ._.

[–]Jumpin_Jack_Flash 3 points4 points ago

According to the Blade movies: Sunscreen.

[–]fistea 1 point2 points ago

What he doing grocery shopping?out during the day!

[–]shelbyy96 56 points57 points ago

Wow, before I saw this, I TOTALLY thought they just had 50 servents follow them and carry their shit for them. -_- Thank you tabloid, you changed my whole fucking life.

[–]sh1thead 10 points11 points ago

The Wonka is strong with this one.

[–]jeffydomer 45 points46 points ago

Wow, he even looks like a 2,000 year old vampire when he's shopping for groceries.

[–]HugeForehead 25 points26 points ago

He is 1,000, dumby!

[–]Goldcut 11 points12 points ago

Yeah, goofball!

[–]Cptnwalrus 16 points17 points ago

Imagine being him.

Just shopping for groceries and there's a fucking paparazzi taking pictures of you to post in a magazine.

[–]sistersa1vation 2 points3 points ago

I'm pretty sure that's why he looks so pissed off. What's next, a picture of him on the can? "Stars! They poop!"

[–]rprebel 66 points67 points ago

Anybody else remember the time George HW Bush went to the supermarket and was freaked out by the bar code scanner?

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?

[–]bAssKicker 12 points13 points ago

Really?!?! I thought they used diamond encrusted Gucci handbags...from Paris!

[–]StuartGibson 45 points46 points ago

Gucci is Italian.

Peasant.

[–]sphericalvoxel 13 points14 points ago

That's why only celebrities have access to Parisian Gucci handbags, duh.

[–]Black-Box 9 points10 points ago

I remember seeing a magazine had a 2 page article about how some actress was holding 2 drinks at the same time.

[–]woyervunit 34 points35 points ago

IT PUTS THE LOTION IN THE BASKET!

[–]wickwox 9 points10 points ago

You know what he's buying? ORANGE MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98AzJT8FlmY

[–]ChrowX 26 points27 points ago

Oh man! I just used a basket the other day! Shit's glamorous as HELL.

[–]baccus83 8 points9 points ago

Really? I always thought they just levitated their food over to the check-out counter.

[–]KOWguy 7 points8 points ago

Are they talking about celebrities or vampires?

[–]fleeingthephlegethon 16 points17 points ago

I thought Pam shopped for him.

[–]Kyle197 9 points10 points ago

But...but I don't use baskets...

[–]socomnvy 27 points28 points ago

[–]BloodyMess[!] 1 point2 points ago

Toomangoddamnlimes guy is a perfect example of modern iconography symbolizing that in today's society, we often have too many goddamn limes.

[–]Kyle197 1 point2 points ago

Hahaha. Close, but I use shopping carts.

[–]LesEnfantsTerribles 6 points7 points ago

And they mark the Higgs-Bosson discovery as the greatest find of the century.

DAMN IT

Can't imagine what the future will bring. Next thing you know, stars are able to poop, just like us.

[–]bootzatpitt 2 points3 points ago

do they poop rainbow sherbet like i do?

[–]LesEnfantsTerribles 1 point2 points ago

[–]thephenom21 20 points21 points ago

Just getting some true blood.

[–]provaros 25 points26 points ago

I was just thinking of Alexander Skarsgard (not gay, just finished another episode of True Blood). WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?

[–]Omvega 57 points58 points ago

I'm a girl. It's difficult to not be thinking about him constantly.

[–]provaros 25 points26 points ago

When he had long hair he made me question my sexuality. He does it now too, but even more before.

[–]xinxy 13 points14 points ago

Well then stop questioning and embrace that new lifestyle.

[–]woolyreasoning 1 point2 points ago

your new lifestyle; heterosexual, with exceptions.

  1. if Alexander skargard comes on to you, just go with it

[–]provaros 1 point2 points ago

Dude...boobs...

[–]Not_Korean_Enough 11 points12 points ago

I'm a guy, and I'm having the same issue.

[–]kristianur 8 points9 points ago

I'm a guy and I think about him all the time. He is so god damn sexy.

[–]childrapeiswrong 4 points5 points ago

As I just informed another gentleman above you I feel it's my responsibility to also inform you. It's Skarsgård. Not Skarsgard.

[–]bbdesigncof 7 points8 points ago

But Eric Northman does it in 1/4 of the time.

[–]RedDutchPancakes 4 points5 points ago

This is best thing I've seen on reddit all day. And it's been a long day.

[–]AnticitizenPrime 9 points10 points ago

Still 'not like us'. When I go shopping and use a basket, I don't have fucking paparazzi taking pictures of me and publishing it in a national magazine.

[–]JRG2013 3 points4 points ago

Damn, he looks like he's on a mission.

[–]Sephalia 3 points4 points ago

As soon as I read your title, I knew it would be a reference to this dumb section in the magazine. This "They're Just Like Us!" page is ALWAYS this stupid. "They wear shoes!" "They carry their children!"

I'm really starting to believe that the editors think celebrities are a different species and are shocked to find similarities.

[–]dolenyoung 3 points4 points ago

The exuberance with which the baskets part was written had me in stitches.

[–]Cookalooka 2 points3 points ago

They wear shirts too?!

[–]joshcryer 2 points3 points ago

Man, fucking Wal-Mart has slowly removed the baskets from existence, it used to be that they had a big ass stack of baskets, but over time they started disappearing. I think it's a conspiracy to make you use a cart so you can get more stuff. But fuck them, I can carry 20 items easily.

[–]ashtrizzle 1 point2 points ago

Or homeless people stealing baskets

[–]AdvocateForLucifer 2 points3 points ago

That's not a star... that's a human.

[–]LascielCoin 1 point2 points ago

That's not a human, that's a vampire.

[–]musicbpc 2 points3 points ago

I saw one once where it was "normal" vs "not normal" celebrity activities. They showed Drew Barrymore using a payphone and deemed it as "not normal", since people use cell phones nowadays, duh!

[–]coldwarjunkie 2 points3 points ago

Ha, he's only using one basket. Yesterday, for the first time I shopped with two baskets. At the same time! It was such a rush.

[–]filsyn 2 points3 points ago

Who is that, why is he being call a celebrity and what does he smell like?

[–]jebus08 2 points3 points ago

ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

[–]Random_Fandom 2 points3 points ago

I swear, that man could sit in a lawnchair and make it look like a throne. Wish I could look that good carrying a basket. :(

[–]Lafyra 2 points3 points ago

Skars - He's just like us.

[–]physicscat 2 points3 points ago

Alexander Skarsgard....yummy-yum, drool drool

[–]heylookitsmykel 12 points13 points ago

I can't be the only one who doesn't know who this guy is.

[–]nixonrichard 27 points28 points ago

He's Meekus from Zoolander. Dies in a freak gasoline explosion.

[–]saraht0ga 22 points23 points ago

ORANGE MOCHA FRAPPUCCINOS

[–]ItsMylesNotMiles 14 points15 points ago

"They died in a freak gasoline fight accident"

[–]jabask 1 point2 points ago

Alexander Skarsgård. Swedish actor. Was on Generation Kill and True Blood.

[–]draemscat 4 points5 points ago

Eric from True Blood.

[–]wisamc 3 points4 points ago

I love looking at these magazines and not knowing who these people are.

[–]CoyoteStark 1 point2 points ago

High end designer baskets no doubt.

[–]jhoudiey 1 point2 points ago

i also use baskets at the grocery store. however, i never look nearly as attractive while doing so. damnit.

[–]andrewuncaged 1 point2 points ago

I honestly saw one of these that said "they are just like us, they take the stairs!"

[–]uriman 1 point2 points ago

[–]makai456 1 point2 points ago

Don't they have people for baskets?

[–]IAmAtomato 1 point2 points ago

"They use baskets!"

HO-LY.FUCK.

:O

[–]idonthatefagsgoddoes 1 point2 points ago

Maybe the basket isn't the greatest example, but I agree for the most part. Celebrities are just people. It's crazed Hollywood groupies that can't seem to get that through their heads.

[–]TheLoneWander101 1 point2 points ago

whats next they breathe?

[–]myfajahas400children 1 point2 points ago

I use the carts.So fuck you Alexander Saarkgark.

[–]LittleTiny 2 points3 points ago

[–]myfajahas400children 1 point2 points ago

I think I was pretty close.

[–]LittleTiny 1 point2 points ago

Well, it was a hell of alot funnier.

" Easy, guys.. I put my pants on just like the rest of you - one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make gold records"

[–]kewlsey 1 point2 points ago

The fact that the a section of a magazine is dedicated to showing "normal people" various ways "stars" are "like us" is really so ridiculous. But that is the point of the post I guess; my comment is irrelevant. Downvotes, come and get me.

[–]tommy2fingers 1 point2 points ago

This is why we can't have nice things.

[–]elmorits 1 point2 points ago

[–]th1nker 1 point2 points ago

I hate gossip magazines with a passion. Call me insane or homocidal, but I strongly believe that Paparazzi should be lined up against a wall and publicly executed for the whole world to see. How can it be legal to stalk people and take pictures of them shopping for groceries and filling their gas tank - then spreading bullshit rumours about them. If I went out and started following some random dude and taking pics of him all day, I'd end up in fucking jail.

I can't believe people support that gossip bullshit by buying the magazines. Nobody should give a fuck if Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got into another fight, or if __________ has cellulite on their ass. The fact is that they are most likely richer than you and people buy those magazines to lie to themselves that they are better than the celebrities in the magazines. Anybody who buys a magazine like that and I see them, I immediately assume that they are likely to be very stupid people who need gossip magazines to feel good about themselves. Now please, forgive me for the rant.

[–]iWrecksauce 1 point2 points ago

My mom gets this magazine all the time and i look at this section all the time for some lols. One of them was "THEY RUN ERRANDS" and another was "THEY FEED THEIR KIDS"

And that's when I realized i was just like them.

[–]back_at_ya 1 point2 points ago

I don't know about you guys but I don't even care about the stupid caption. I would watch this man wiping his ass, and would still be entranced

[–]ThatGuy1331 1 point2 points ago

The difference is when I use a basket my shirt doesn't rip

[–]DavidKnutsson 1 point2 points ago

Could be "Swedes, they're just like us!"

[–]Shey16 1 point2 points ago

Alexander Skarsgard, Nicklas Lidstrom, Henrik Lundqvist...

There is just something about Swedish men that appeals to me. They're so good looking!

...but on a serious note. This photo is obviously shopped. Real celebrities have personal chefs who do this for them.

[–]Kakoose 1 point2 points ago

Who the hell is he?

[–]roger_podakter 1 point2 points ago

I've always hated these.....Yet they still print them.

Man i can't believe how hard i'm laughing at this genius analogy of celebs and regular people. Hey i got a good one did you know celebs open car doors? HAHAHAH I know, laughing my ass off. BTW is the guy with a basket a star or a person, sometimes i can't see the difference.

[–]camalittle 1 point2 points ago

And apparently they're not even famous anymore-- just like us.

Who even knows who that is.

Unbelievable.

[–]redefinedreality 2 points3 points ago

This...this is real?

I house-sat for a family whose teenage daughter subscribed to the magazine in question. I occasionally thumbed through it when I pooped.

Let me tell you... it's weird to weep for humanity while pooping.

This actually reminds me, one of my stupid friends was reading a magazine about Beyonce and Jessica Simpson being pregnant last year and she blurted out, "How do you think they have babies? They wouldn't do a c-section because they're famous, but I can't see them giving birth because they don't have to do things on their own..."

:/
