Shia LaDouche TWEETS RETIREMENT. Still grasps nothing.

You know nothing, Shia LaDouche. Fucking dummy. If you did, you wouldn’t have to go to such lengths as retirement. You certainly wouldn’t feel important enough to tweet it. And finally, you definitely wouldn’t say you’re retiring due to attacks on your artistic integrity.

The last few weeks haven’t been particularly kind to actor Shia LaBeouf. After releasing a subversive short film, it was revealed the short was plagiarized from the work of Daniel Clowes. That lead to an apology, which was also plagiarized, and the actor’s defenses snowballed into weirdness including a skywritten apology and plenty of arguments about the creative process as a whole.

For his next act, LaBeouf — star of the first three Transformers films and part of the upcoming Lars Von Trier film Nymphomaniac – took to Twitter to say “In light of the recent attacks against my artistic integrity, I am retiring from all public life.”

Here are the tweets in question:

LaBeouf, who’s only 27 years old, definitely had a rough month but retiring seems like a bit of an overreaction, and blaming attacks against his artistic integrity misses the point of conversation about his short and apologies. He’s been the subject of undeniable public scrutiny but there’s really no one to blame but himself. A sincere apology or make-good could still potentially make the whole thing go away.

Bro, you attacked your own artistic integrity when you fucking filched an entire premise from Daniel Clowes. Then you underscored your douchery by mockingly posting a cease-and-desist this week. You don’t need to stop creating. You need to stop walking around with your pretentious head up your ass, and stealing from superior creators.
