However, this non-interview is a train wreck of the highest order, and while at first it is extremely funny, after I thought about it for a few moments, it is really very sad. So I said a prayer for one very confused soul..( Of course there is also speculation in the news that this is all a hoax and part of a documentary Casey Affleckis doing,(If you want to see exactly what I am talking about, watch the clip belowJoaquin Phoenix at LocateTV.com
