Week in Review: Who Else Is All Wrong to Play Spider-Man?

We took some heat from aspiring actor Josh Bednarsky's family, fans, and nine roommates when we declared him completely wrong for the role of Spider-Man in Julie Taymor's new musical. And we feel bad! He's been so nice, asking on his Website for someone to send us a fruit basket and all. We're not going back on our previous assertion — Peter Parker has brown hair, people — but we're happy to share some other people who proved this week that they, too, are not qualified to play the singing web-slinger of Queens.
Tom Cruise and Justin Timberlake: Not funny enough.
Lang Lang: Costumes too stupid even for a superhero.
Bradley Blakeman: Not even creative enough to come up with Swing Vote.
Woody Allen: Thinks three-person kissing is a threesome.
The people of Pittsburgh: Roving bands of gun-wielding cannibals.
Jonathan Groff: Only wants to be naked.
Roland Emmerich: Spider-Man does not have three stuffed zebras.
Christopher Nolan: A worse action director than David Gordon Green.
Nick Rivers: Too busy getting skeet surfing approved for the 2012 Olympics.
The Jonas Brothers: Curing diabetes.
Stephenie Meyer: Ruining her own series.
Simple Jack: Offensive.
Christian Bale: Needs vocal-cord surgery.
Kois: Too busy shining Paul Dergarabedian's shoes.
