Headline on MSN Messenger

Post by Superman »

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, in times like ours, the headline "Adam Sandler's Beloved Bulldog Dies" takes front page on MSN. That's right, we Americans are so fucking stupid and simple-minded that some jack off celebrity's dog takes front page and we are supposed to give a fucking shit. Sometimes, I really hate some things about my culture...

There might be a good side to this.

Adam Sandler's grief prevents him from ever making a movie again.

Adam Sandler was a horrible actor in "Littile Nicky". His other movies like "Billy Madison" were better though.

Isn't Adam Sandler's humorous talent best described as "most creative uses of the word fuck"?

You know what? I consider this an improvement over having soldiers dying and buildings falling be top-page news.

Um, I don't know if you can call that the front page. It is the entertaiment page, though I guess there has to be bigger news in entertainment than Sandler's dog biting it.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

It isn't trying to be Gone with the Wind. It's a dick and fart joke movie and not a half bad one at that.

Aye, the only decent things he did were Happy Gilmore and Big Daddy.

Well, they've pretty much reported out Janet Jackson's halftime incident, so they're probably running out of stuff to report and waiting for the next celebrity to add another 15 minutes of fame to their career with a short-lived marraige, sex tape that was "accidentaly" leaked to the public, nipple slip on national TV that gets more headlines than the rest of the event, or criminal activity that they get away with in the end.

There is such thing as an intelligent dick and fart joke movie. Take anything by Kevin Smith for example. By comparison, Billy Madison falls more then a little short.
