Just saw an ad for "An American Carol". Boy, I hope that movie bombs like no other movie ever has.

1. It looks like total crap

I expect it to bomb.

2. They fail to learn. Comedy does not work from the conservative point of view

Its the nature of comedy and power structures. Comedy works from the downtrodden speaking up to power. Power speaking down to the downtrodden is just oppression and hubris.

4. and the timing is very wierd

supposed to be a take-off off A Chrismas Carol with the 3 ghosts, and Bull O'Lielly is one of them I thing, some jack-off fake cowboy "country" singer is another from what I have picked up. Very very very lame. And why target Michael? Should have been Hillary or Obama if they wanted to make a splash.

3. I wish I hadn't done it

but I watched the trailer on YouTube. What I saw was utter dreck - further validation of my assertion that conservatism and creativity are mutually exclusive.

I hope it bombs so bad that it's the professional kiss of death for anyone associated with its production.

5. From the trailer I saw

with the sound off it looked like a bad Three Stooges movie. I think the hitting the fat guy upside the head was supposed to be funny butit just looked stupid.

6. I am also tired of "the make fun of fat people" brand of humor.

It is was of the lower forms of "humor." Only a little above making fun of women or minorities.

8. Nobody's born fat

People are born female and/or non-Caucasian. With some exceptions (i.e., certain medications and medical conditions), people are usually fat because they eat too much and exercise too little. That's why they're often ridiculed, for letting themselves go. Much like if someone were to stop shaving, bathing, or if they dressed in old, sloppy clothes all the time.

You can always eat less and exercise more to lose weight. You can't change being a woman, a minority, gay, lesbian, or whatever.

If it makes you feel any better, people who are too thin are made fun of, as well. :eyes:

10. Hooo nelly

12. One fat, hairy, sloppy, person here.

All your popcorn belongs to me. :popcorn:

[Solon]

13. Well shit, if it was always that easy, no one would be fat...

There are a plethora of medical conditions that explain obesity, not to mention just plain old people are born different, with different metabolic rates and ways to break down food, not to mention ways they store fat on their bodies. All biologically variable in the human population. You come off as the ignorant ass you are.

[LittleClarkie]

17. Or some just choose to not worry about it. Should that really open themselves up to ridicule?

And are there really liberals defending ridiculing someone because of their appearance?

[Moloch]

18. Thank you!

I agree 100% Fat people need to take all the effort they've put into making excuses into losing weight.

[magellan]

7. They tend to show the funniest bits in the promos

I didn't know what the hell it was when I saw the ad and still I wasn't laughing. But then I don't go in for Dumb & Dumber, boys locker-room style "humor", which seems to be all the rightwing can do -- stupid fart jokes and pratfalls.

9. People will see this as another Epic/Date/Disater/Meet The Spartans movie bullshit.

And the general consensus on these movies is that they suck ass.

[elshiva]

14. Yes, they do.

They are some of the worse movies I have ever seen. I've actually seen all of those movies, except for the Disaster Movie. Just terrible, not at all funny.

[Initech]

15. Are you a sadist?

:rofl:

I sat through about five minutes of "Epic Movie" and that was about all I could take. I cant imagine what it would be like to sit through all four of those movies, for 1.5 hours each! :rofl:

[elshiva]

16. No, I have a bad movie obsession.

:)

11. When Gary Coleman is in a movie, you know it's damned

It's basically just a long attack on Michael Moore for not goose-stepping with the Repukes, and for exposing them as the evil bastards they really are.
