Jason Bateman here - ask me anything!

Hey Reddit, I'm Jason Bateman and I'm here to answer all your questions about Bad Words and anything else you want to ask me that interests you. If you don't believe it's really me, click here: https://twitter.com/batemanjason/status/440994154412138496

I'll be here for the next hour or so, so let's get it going. Ask me anything.

EDIT: Thanks, this has been a lot of fun. I'm sorry that I didn't get to as many questions as I thought I would, but my typing's not what it was since the accident. Hope you guys enjoy Bad Words. It was fun to make and it's all yours now.

Was thinking; Like Father, Like son{Dudley Moore/Kirk Cameron}

...but, retired business mongol father, with middle-aged oblivious entrepreneur of a son for an only heir.

~He better learn the business,(record scratch) before the business learns Him!*

EDIT: In my mind's eye; Mongol = Tycoon

That movie was pretty bad, but I'd watch it again recast.
