Apparently a few boats weren't the only things to catch a little wind in their sails on the set of "Dawson's Creek."
James Van Der Beek recently told Australia's "Rove La" host Rove McManus that he remembers breaking wind while filming the iconic teen series -- only thing is, he'd never fess up to the dirty deed.
While discussing his current role on "Don't Trust The B---- in Apartment 23" (he scolds America for being "too prudish" to actually use the word "bitch") Van Der Beek also told McManus that he'd rather be known as a "dick" for playing a hyperbole of himself on the show than be referred to as "Dawson."

In what to me, as a veteran, has to be one of the most offensive things Ann Romney has ever said, she likened her husband and sons serving their Mormon missions to serving the country in the military. On The View, when asked if Mitt avoided Vietnam because his religion opposed it, she correctly stated that many Mormons serve their country, but "He was serving his mission." It is not the same, the sacrifice is not the same, and saying it is the same is one of the most self-serving and unpatriotic things I've ever heard. Your husband lived in a villa in Paris, not a foxhole with people shooting at him.
