Comedic actor Seth Rogen sparked a Twitter frenzy after he shrugged off Los Angeles criminals breaking into cars, suggesting it's simply part of normal life in a big city.
The viral uproar began when the "Knocked Up" star reacted to a tweet from YouTube personality Casey Neistat, who wrote on Wednesday, "so our cars got robbed this morning because Los Angeles is a crime riddled 3rd world s---hole of a city" and expressed gratitude toward the LA Police Department for arresting the criminal and retrieving all the stolen belongings.
"Dude I’ve lived here for over 20 years. You’re nuts haha," Rogen reacted. "It’s lovely here. Don’t leave anything valuable in it. It’s called living in a big city."
"i can still be mad tho right?" Neistat asked, adding, "feel so violated."
"You can be mad but I guess I don’t personally view my car as an extension of myself and I’ve never really felt violated any of the 15 or so times my car was broken in to," Rogen responded.
"Once a guy accidentally left a cool knife in my car so if it keeps happening you might get a little treat."
Neistat told Rogen he "didn't get any treats" and that the thief had taken decorations for his daughter's seventh birthday party but then asked, "how did you get your car broken into 15 times?"
"I lived in West Hollywood for 20 years and parked on the street," Rogen wrote.
"Also it sucks your s--- was stolen but LA is not some shithole city. As far as big cities go it has a lot going for it."
Critics piled on the wealthy actor for being so dismissive of car burglaries in Tinseltown, many accusing him of being "privileged."

It’s a normal part of living in big cities run by democrats, that’s a straight fact so Rogen has a point.
When I went to college in the big city (long time ago...) I was given my grandma’s old purple cadillac.
Nobody ever touched it even though all my friends had all their cars broken into...
I had no clue why I was so lucky until one of the locals explained—”They think you are a pimp. No way they are touching that car.”
All I want for Christmas is an unemployed, destitute former actor by the same name in the news.
“...but LA is not some shithole city. As far as big cities go it has a lot going for it.”
Yeah I think it probly is.....I wouldn’t go there to throw up.
Im sure this idiot lives in a walled gated compound with armed security and is clueless as to having to deal with real world issues.
I’ve never joined the Twitter sewer. Am I missing something by not joining in on or watching “Twitter Frenzies”?
Are they like shark feeding frenzies? Do the important, glittery people go to the frenzies?
Class 1 Ahole.
“Comedic actor”
Pretty sure I could successfully argue not so much.
It’s a big problem in all large cities. Income divide, extreme poor and extreme rich, racial problems, drugs, crime. I think we should build a wall around Los Angeles County and let them kill each other, the strongest wins
Heh: They made a movie about that. LOL
“I’ve never joined the Twitter sewer”
Me either...Instagram or facebook either for that matter and yet the sun comes up every day and my life goes on.
I’m pretty proud of that.
What a concept eh?
“...It’s called living in a big city.”
Oh, like the prosecution comment about Kyle? Everybody gets an ass whipping sometime. Do they have the same script writer?
A guy I work with was trying to justify how much he enjoys city living the same way. Several break in’s, stolen bikes etc. Just the cost of living.
A friend lived in downtown Rochester NY, a typical upstate progressive shit hole. To deter thieves, he drove an old, rusty car, and even left a note on his windshield every night which said "NO VALUABLES IN CAR."
One day he found his window smashed, with a note that replied" "JUST CHECKING."
I’d think there would be some unofficial bait cars left around. There’s a youtube channel showing all kinds of resetting mouse/rat traps; maybe resetting bait cars could be good entertainment? Guy breaks into car, falls through a trap door into the sewer below, a brief struggle, then silence. The car resets and we wait again.
It would be fun if somehow Seth Rogen’s tax return were released and it became known how much this condescending liberal spends on armed bodyguards.
Yeah but escape from NY was better. ;^)
Without a doubt. But the cliche is hilarious.
Bet he has a different take if it was his car.
