Comedian David Cross (Arrested Development, Mr. Show) has been taking some flak for his appearance in the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie.
So, he decided to answer the "Why? God, Why?" question via this funny and brutally honest blog post.
Short answer: It's an effing kids movie, you're taking it too seriously and of course he did it for the money.
Next.

His alt-comedian buddy Patton Oswalt did this hilarious bit on Alvin and the Chipmunks on the album "Feeling Kinda Patton" that was absolutely hilarious. I don't think I've ever heard a funnier bit. Anyway, I just figured that had something to do with it as well. Also, those Chipmunks are about to make $200 million. Not bad for a cartoon show way past its prime. Maybe I should stop being a snob and check it out.

I love Patton Oswalt -- and I frankly think he's a much better comedian than David Cross.
He apparently turned down the same role and then gave Cross a hard time about taking it. Not sure how to feel about that -- I'm sort of on the fence about whether you should mock someone for doing a job for the money.
I do think Cross seems a little too defensive about it.
