Johnny Depp would score pot for his kids

And, he's mortified with America

What a great dad! To keep his kids safe, "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Johnny Depp says that if his kids choose to smoke pot when then older (safe assumption if they hang around dad), pops will score it for them.

As reported in the New York Post today, Depp tells next month's GQ magazine that he is worried about his kids getting marijuana laced with PCP: "Out on the street, you never know what you're getting. Suddenly, two days later you're beating yourself in the head with a tennis racquet, wearing a towel, quoting Poe. You don't want that for your kid."

Depp says that witnessing the overdose death of his friend River Phoenix several years ago was "a nightmare you never recover from" and says his new family helped him jettison his former "dumb-ass," "self-centered [bleep]" persona.

Of course what is a Hollywood interview with a little America-bashing to go along with it. He states his intention to make Paris his permanent home because the United States "mortifies" him with its "childish freedom fries" and "freedom toast."

Johnny, we think you've made a wise relocation choice.
