Trailer for WHERE IN THE WORLD IS OSAMA BIN LADEN in HD!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... Morgan Spurlock's WHERE IN THE WORLD IS OSAMA BIN LADEN caught a lot of flames at Sundance... the expectations were through the roof, due to some pretty outrageous pre-release statements that got distributed around... But the word we got here at AICN by Rav and Quint.... it wasn't so pretty. In fact, it was pretty ugly. However, while the following trailer is only mildly amusing - it does have a certain amount of charm. What do you folks think?
Click here to not find Osama Bin Laden!

Instead of letting things naturally be funny he's forcing the Schtick. This looks about as funny as 911
-
... and thats all its ever going to be. hes not trying to do a Micheal Moore on us... hes just come up with another idea for a daft movie (probably while drunk) and this is the result. anyone who was expecting profound meaning was never going to be satisfied.
-
No? Then I don't give a shit.
-
Is it me or do trailers on Yahoo seem of poor quality?
-
I keep telling you. He works in a Kebab shop on the Edgeware Road. Sort of like muslim Elvis.
-
He did good on his other bits, but this one . . .
-
When I was in hell aka Afghanistan, that is actually what the locals did. Pointed "that way". Ahh memories.
-
right next to Carmen San Diego!
-
I enjoyed supersize me, so I'll very likely rent this. That moisturizer bit was good.
-
I am going to make a movie were I eat nothing but bran muffins and prune juice for 30 days, and document my health problems. I will call it "super size my prostate"
-
Morgan starts to manifest symptoms in his doc after eating McDonalds for three days. For the doc to be popular obviously it had to be sensationalist and dramatic, even at the cost of the truth.
-
Will his stupid veggie girlfriend apeear in this movie too? What a hateful woman
-
Documentary film makers make a name for themselves by documenting something we don't know about. In the case of Micheal Moore, stuff the world's governments don't want us to know. Nick Broomfield, stuff Courtney Love didn't was us to know etc. Hence we leave the theatre somewhat enlightened as well as entertained. But this guy Morgan Spunklock became world famous for telling us that McDonalds was bad for us. Well shit Sherlock, ya don't say. I guess he was probably aiming for the Obese American demographic, I digress. They even put him on TV and he told us, minimum wage is hard to live off, there a lot of religions. Lazy, uninspired and self obsessed. Shite!
-
up here
-
congrats, you're the millionth moron to forget 90% of the movie Supersize Me."oh fast food is bad, thanks Morgan, I didn't know that!" derrrrrr..the movie was about national health issues, food in our public schools, fast food marketing and a host of other issues. but no one remembers that because that would require actually engaging an issue, and moronic and fallacious sound bites are much easier to remember.and not for nothing, but how are you determining "the truth" in the movie? why on earth would I trust an internet troll over a doctor? it isn't as though they could edit around it. they weighed him, they read from test results. where is the conspiracy?never mind, just wipe the drool up and have another big mac.
-
not on my must see list of stuff.
if the rumour had turned out to be anywhere near true...this would have been groundbreaking though! -
you were the 999,999th idiot...almost, man!did you see the movie and forget the rest of it? or did you not actually see it, but just felt like you had to weigh in...
-
The situation with fast food is this. People are idiots. You tell them not to do something and sure as your arse is round they'll do it. He didn't pile on latex or fix the scales in Supersize Me. Mc Donalds did that to him! And it wasn't until that doc was made that people pulled their thumbs out of their arses and copped on to what that food does to them. It didn't change the world. Loads of idiots still waddle into McD's every day. But I'm not one of them and getting up and down stairs and other things like taking a deep breath aren't an issue for me. I just want to say I realise there are many people who have weight/health related issues that they have no control over and for them I show respect and sympathy. but for the twats who fuck themselves up on their own impetus, I hold only disdain. Back to the point, I like Spurlock. He's funny, informative and he's not trying to scare the crap out of you or make you buy stuff. So to the Spurlock haters I ask, what's your problem?
-
Spurlock I my opiion should leave issues of health and nutrition to the professionals. There is tons of research being carried out by hard working Doctors trying to change our attitudes to food. Spurlock used McDs as a gimmick to put this arguement across, but it some how over shadowed the issue. That's why it's all people remember from the Doc. The guy was more content on being known as the guy who took on McDs rather than pursue the issues. Moore's style ain't much better, but he's like a dog with bone, and we come away disussing the issues.
-
Did Bush really say "he may be in a cave with the door closed, in a cave with the door open"? I have a long (very long) list of famous Bush gaffs and I didnt see this. So maybe its a voice over? Seriously, did he really say that?? Seriously, did you guys really vote him as leader of USA?
-
Do you want to try my Oat Bran and Prune juice challenge? The whole idea of Super Size me carries on the great liberal tradition of blaming others for the choices you make. Yeah I saw it puss nuts.
And lets talk about his "30 Days" nonsense. I saw and episode where he takes a christian man and has them live with a american muslim family and go thru their customs. Couple of problems here: in the promo he says "see what happens when we take a 'god fearing americam" (and he makes a stupid face here to get his point across) and have him live with a muslim family for 30 days. Well, is the muslim a "god fearing american"? So stupid....plus, why not take a muslim man, and have him live with a Jewish famliy and force him to try their customs? Because he would not do it, that's why. If you are trying to make a point about interolance, I guess it exisits only for white jedo-christian? Typical left wing hypocritical pablum .
-
Terrorism and mass murder is hilarious, right Morgan? Let's see if you're laughing when your family gets killed in the next Al-Qaeda attack on this country.

Do yahoo employees wipe their asses with HD trailers before stre
by vini77
I mean damn...
-
He did a piece of semi-interesting performance art and wrapped it up in some semi-interesting information about school lunches and advertising and whatnot in the US. The point wasn't to show that junk food is bad for you, but to demonstrate just how bad it is AND juxtapose this with how culturally normal/accepted it is to eat the stuff. Nothing particularly earth-shattering, but also nothing particularly offensive. I can see not liking the movie, but jeez, the way people talk around here, it's like Spurlock personally keyed their car or something.
-
i like it....yeah he really is doing the moore schtick this time around...but thats ok..i really like moores style ever since roger and me...so there.
-
Why the three "!"? Hell, why a post at all?
-
I actually have more hate for his 30 Days show.
I can go in depth as to why if you want. But it boils down to this: they guy simply isn't that talented, or funny. Easy enough. -
and I think he's a bit of a cock, making a documentary that trades off of finding Osama Bin Laden can't be seen as anything more than a desperate attempt to stay in the public eye.
-
Yes, but why does being not "that talented, or funny" warrant the sort of vitriol bandied about here? I think his stuff is kinda forgettable, but I just don't get getting mad about it.
-
I don't HATE the guy, I just don't care for him.
Fair enough. I do hate the Patriots though, fuck them. -
Veronica gets banged hard in it.
http://www.empireonline.com/video/forgettingsarahmarshall/ -
Seriously, who is? We know he DOESN'T find Bin Laden because if he did it would be the biggest story since 9/11. No way will I watch this shit, 90 minutes watching Morgan Spurlock in a rather fruitless journey. It's just another project to massage is obese ego. What a prick!
-
When will this turd, that AICN constantly pushes make something worthwhile. It's nice to see they still push their 'boyz' even though their movies sucks. This site is so ridiculous now!

I have some more credible documentry films ideas!!!!!!!
by vamp-aicnchat
The first is, LET'S FIND A RED BLOODED MALE WHO FINDS LINDA (LARRY) WACHOWSKI SEXY? The second is, THE MISSION TO FIND A PIC OF MICHAEL MOORE THAT DOESN'T RESEMBLE A WALRUS and the third is, DID THESE WOMEN HAVE A ORGY WITH ELTON JOHN?
-
Is this the sequel to "Where on Earth is Carmon Sandiago"?
-
I do, she got on my tits when I watched the 30 DAYS docu. She tried to hog the limelight every opportunity. She even feigned a illness and got sent to the hospital. Plus, watch SUPER SIZE ME, she tries to hog the limelight their too. WHAT BONEY BITING BITCH.
-
After SUPER SIZE ME, McDonalds scrapped the Super Size Meals hence, the fatties now buy five smaller meals, hence McDonalds get richer, the fatties get fatter and Spurlock's wallet does. Plus, his missus (THE BONEY BITING BITCH) gets more nausiating rich.
-
I liked Super Size Me. Sure it was obvious that McDonalds isn't good for you, but the rest of the film - about advertising, school lunches, etc - was good information.
This just looks stupid. Lets get a camera and go ask Middle Eastern people about Osama Bin Laden!! Yeah fun! Stupid. The trailer was dumb too. -
Another movie that aims to make the USA look bad from the "blame America first" left. Libs hate Bush so much that it they can't even see straight. The movie will bomb just like redacted and all the rest. It must suck being a liberal and having to wake up each morning looking to see if there are any more deaths of our armed forces in Iraq in order to have a great day of saying, "I told you so".
-
That looks really funny.
-
than a fake documentary.
-
Sure it amuses him-
-
Isn't that kind of like saying "This Old House, now brought to you in Smell-o-vision!" What's the point?
-
SuperSize me just made me hungry.
-
Sounds like you have a raft of truly excellent and 100% non-asinine bogeymen of the right wing to investigate there. All joking aside, I especially like your "Where in the world . . . are those who collect public charitable assistance denied the right to vote due to a conflict of interest?" idea. Because it really seems like you thought that one through. I mean, why should anybody who receives any benefit from the government get to vote? People on unemployment, using public schools, driving on roads--bunch of freeloaders, if you ask me.

You wanna douche that mouth out with pumice soap, man?

Brush your teeth man, you got sand in your vagina.
-
Such a rapscallion! I hope the soundtrack is by Rockapella!
-
If not, at least he didn't get beheaded will searching for you-know-who.
-
Bush has used Bin Laden and the fiction of "Al-Qaeda in Iraq," "Al-Qaeda in [Insert nation you want to attack]" to send the good people of the US to their death. This whole "if you don't support the war, you don't support the troops" line is utter nonsense. As we fight wars for oil and big business, the education and healthcare systems are shot to hell... Worst off, the great Constitution of the US is being ripped up to shreds....
-
Mediocrity defined, comforting for some.
-
I like this idea that socialism is a failed experiment.... It appears that it is fine to wage an illegal war on a sovereign nation using taxpayers money. However, as soon as we talk about free health care we start to fear for our civil liberties....
-
I'm with ya. I work in downtown Trenton, NJ and am sick by the time I get home from the daily barrage of greedy system sucking do nothings who only see the government as a source of income while paying nothing in themselves.
Oh, you're having money trouble? Maybe if you didn't have four kids you can't support from four different fathers who aren't around life would be easier. -
That is what Bush signed. He let an industry where one company (Exxon) made 33 billion in PROFIT off the hook... Now we know that expenditure is up so who bears the load when Big business gets a free pass?
-
I'm 100% with you, man. But I think in your righteous zeal, you are overlooking the fact that (federal) government expenditures run to about 3.1 trillion, and that only 130 million people/households pay income taxes. That means that (doing some quick math) the burden per taxpayer is about $24,000. Thus, if you aren't paying $24,000 in income taxes to the fed per year, you are an evil socialist freeloader! I'm in total agreement with you that people who get things they didn't pay for are instead getting charity, and therefore should not be able to vote.
-
That little document that talks about privacy and freedom and the role of a government and division of power. If the taxpayers own the government (they do) then who gave Big Oil a free pass? Then lied to the public about the war? Who is now trying to discredit intel reports that Iran has no nukes?
-
That would go some way to balance the books huh? Then stop giving tax breaks to the rich. Oh and then stop pharmaceutical companies from gouging people in the name of research....
-
this country was founded on various things, and all of those things are not only super-moral and good, but also beyond reproach or question. We should aspire to make this country resemble as much as possible the wondrous gentleman-farmer paradise that was late 18th-century America; after all, it's what the version of the Founding Fathers that Piltdown holds up as a sort of reverse strawman would have wanted. So stop asking the government to provide things for you, even if you think that they might be really good for the country. George Washington didn't need health care, a highway system, an FDA, grant money for universities, monetary policy, an air force, an FBI, etc., and neither do you! Plus, the government *already* gives out tons of free stuff--like defense contracts, subsidies to wheat growers, tax breaks to large estates--so quit whining! You are being just like this Spurlock character. You should be less like Spurlock, and more like Piltdown.
-
Force employment! That's brilliant! We could round up all those sturdy beggars that you and I both *know* exist (despite what census data and the Department of Labor say) and *make* them work. Like on building railroads or picking cotton, or something. I'm sure some tree-hugging socialist will say something about "unconstitutional" and "involuntary servitude" but screw 'em. Also, I like your idea of getting rid of the "ridiculous" spending. I for one am tired of government spending going to things that are not no-bid contracts or ultra-efficient and totally necessary trillion-dollar wars in the middle east, or infrastructure in various congress members' home districts. It's time this government stopped spending money on things like health care for children. I mean, most of those children don't even have jobs! Fancy that--only in socialist America!
-
Should we prepare for a couple of 5 year plans? Barn Raising anyone?
-
If you are talking about a reduction in spending, the plan would have to include cutting down on the invasion of illegals and the social services they suck up. Unless you work in hospital or a school ina area with a high population of illegals, you have no idea how bad it is. Listening to NPR just doesn't cut it. What you have here is country (mexico) with the best location in the world, some of the best resources in the world, and they waste it with a form of quasi-socialism and gov. that is bought out by drug money from the top on down, so they just export they problems instead of dealing with them. The law that says "if you give birth in the us, your child becomes a citzen" has to stop. What the fuck is this? Prison dodgeball? And before the left-wingers bring out their xenophobe-race card bullshit, unless there was 20 million white illegal french canadians coming here, you really have nothing to compare the reaction to. Blassy, out.
-
If you consider this movie to be a "mockumentary" in the sense that it aims to entertain you first, and inform you second - then it looks like a huge home run. I think the guy is a one trick pony and I dont care for his politics (of what little I've seen of them), but right now, I'm still hearing that silly yada dadadaduhda yaaa song in my head and tapping my toe.
And Im still laughing at the soldiers who all point to the horizon when asked where Osama is.For those who dont know, when they point, they aren't saying "he's over there" - they are saying, "seriously he's not in my house - please dont blow holes in it." -
Tax it. Regulate it like any other business. Require operation in a brothel. Collect major tax funds from this, and legalized marijuana, and then use THAT money to fund a national insurance/health care program. It would be completely optional. If you don't want to use the national program then you get a tax refund. But for everyone who has no choice, at least there would be something in place.
If we collected taxes on legalized brothels, and on marijuana, we'd have a LOT of tax revenue for programs like health care, and we'd be spending a LOT less on arresting and incarcerating prostitutes and pot smokers.
Street walking and street-level drug dealing would still be illegal, of course; But who would choose to work for a pimp or risk it on the streets when they could be in a cushy brothel or hash bar, with job security, a retirement plan, and protection (both legal and physical) from bad customers.
When they lifted prohibition on alcohol, they never bothered to lift prohibition on prostitution or gambling, which were also part of the same "stop the sinners from having fun" movement of the religious freaks. Here we are, over seven decades later, and the Biblethumpers STILL have sway over the private lives and bodies of individuals.
Legalize it and tax it. With national health care funded by these things, there would be no problem with the "social health" influence of prostitution or marijuana. The violence associated with them would be curbed as well. And really, it would HELP the Biblethumpers, because they wouldn't have to see prostitutes on their streets. Everyone would be doing their business behind closed doors, where oversensitive, sexless Christians could ignore them. (HA! Like they would! They'd be standing around outside with signs and chants, anyway.) -
Legalize pot and hookers and tax the fuck out of them. So long as you make illegal to drive stoned out of your gord. And don't start trying to make hardcore drugs illegal, like heroin. Every see someone going thru withdrawal from that drug? Not a pretty site. Also tax the shit out of money wired out of here and send back to Mexico. $100 per transaction fee.

get in there and make me some bean dip.
by lloyd bonafide the korean war veteran
my wife would hang on me like a blue-assed baboon in heat and i couldnt have it tell you!!!
-
So far, I think I've seen negative reviews on this thus far, the most positive being a meh. I could be wrong, though.
That said, it does pretty much look like a one-liner strung out through an entire movie. But Spurlock gets points for using Gogol Bordello. -
sorry if I spoiled it for everyone.
-
over 3 million illegal workers in this country. If we gave them instant 'you can stay if you have a job' work permits, and started collecting taxes on them, just think about the revenue this generates for the federal government. 3 million previously untaxed incomes suddenly pouring money into Social Security.
Oh and speaking of: this permit would clearly state that "you are welcome to work in this country, but will not be eligible for any retirement or other tax funded benfits barring emergency healthcare." So they'd feed Social Security, but not feed OFF of it later.
That alone would get us beyond the "baby boom bubble" which is only a temporary crisis. If we can find a way to pay for the baby boomer retirements, then the system will adjust and right itself again. -
Yeah man. It's totally lame that we have to pay with our taxes for heating and air conditioning in schools too! And musical instruments? Art supplies? Socialist! Everyone knows Music and Art programs create pinko socialists! And what's this about electives? Reading Riting and Rithmetic are all we need to function in society!
-
I bet he has lots of hookers.
-
20 million new tax payers. Can you right wing douche nozzles wrap your heads around that, or are you still bent on deporting 25+ million men, women, and children in one of the greatest diaspora in human history?
These illegals are already competing for jobs, undercutting wages of legal Americans. Nothing would boost wages more than to take these 20 million illegal workers from the shadows, give them rights protected by our labor laws, and force their employers to pay living wages. As deporting them is 100% UNREALISTIC, the better alternative would be to legalize them and have them pay taxes like everyone else. The candidate I support for the Presidency(hint:he's been criticized for being naive)understands this truth and supports the rational, beneficial solution for our country and tax payers. -
That look like they are spinning, even when the car is still. Also make it a $10,000 fine when some asshole tosses their cigarette out of the car window. Also limit the number of bumper stickers a car can have to two. After that, you pay.
-
Seriously dude. Those "little fuckers" cost a shit load of cash. And sure teaching them to read and write is good, but to have a well rounded education is way more important.
So quit jerking off at your computer, get some pussy and spawn a little shit disturber. When you're broke ass is begging for a little help to support your broken divorced family and children who hate you because you can't provide worth shit and you still say these things. Maybe then I'll take your opinon into consideration. Till then, blow me. -
Amnesty forgives lawbreaking! Nobody should ever get away with breaking *any* law, even if it costs society more as a whole to punish them than to let it slide. If somebody emigrates to the US without filling out forms with DHS, I don't care if they've been paying sales taxes, or would pay income taxes if they had documentation to work legally--I want the government to expend enormous sums of taxpayer money to track them down and deport them. In fact, I want the government to create the whole new enforcement bureaucracy necessary to deport between 10 and 15 million people, and to add the tens of thousands of dedicated, federal agents to the public payroll to snoop around every business in the country, searching for those bearing documentation and those that do not. It doesn't matter how much it costs--this is America, dammit! If you don't have the proper papers, you should be in (taxpayer funded) jail. The same goes for all other criminals, like those who speed while driving. If you have ever speeded, I don't care if it didn't hurt anybody, I want the State to track you down and punish you, no matter the cost. I mean, Piltdown is right. We don't have an option here. If those damn commie-loving socialists comprising the slight majority of Americans who favor immigration reform have their way and amnestisize all these illegals, why the rule of law is done for! Can't you Spurlock lovers see that? Nobody will pay for food at restaurants, because the law is meaningless! People will just steal their groceries. Police officers will be demoralized and stop showing up to work. It's all completely logical.
-
The word "amnesty" has been used so much in a negative way by so many politicians to the point when I hear the word, all I hear are some poor liberals screaming "Please, take care of me and hold my hand at all times." I agree that if anyone crosses the border to "work" here in any job that requires person-to-person communication, they NEED to learn English. Try getting a job in France if you don't speak french.
-
Exactly--the problem with America is that it's not enough like France! Just like in France, we need some sort of enforcement body that makes people speak the preferred tongue. I definitely want my government to be able to decide what words and language people can and cannot use, instead of letting some communistic free market of ideas solve that problem.
-
By watching "The View" and "Doctor Phil". What kind of evil bastard comes up with a show were it just women sitting around and yapping? Like we need more of that. I do like me a hot soccer mom MILF though. I mainly speak of the fat ones with short hair. I call them King Kong in sweat pants.
-
Is because that is all most of them are qualified for. GASP! Why is that? Because there home country puts ZERO emphasis on providing an education. At least here we try. And the US still has the best colleges in the whole world. I never met anyone from Mexico with college degree from a MEXICAN College. Let alone a high school diploma. Maybe they could save some the money spent on the "sneak into america" comic book and spend on some schools?? Huh huh yeah yeah
-
Hmmm let's see how many people I can ask "where is osama?" and see how many different responses I get!
Like how the fuck is that a movie, I might, MIGHT watch that if it were a gag show on a comedy channel. -
I never played a lot of sports myself but they are still important, they help develop kids social, teamwork, physical skills. We want kids who can read, we also want kids who can get off their asses.
Art supplies the same, allow them to be creative so they aren't fucking drones working in an office.
Furthermore, society couldn't work without those failures who can't achieve what taxpayers expect them to acheive, and these people do the dirty entry level jobs so the rest of us don't have to. As much as I don't want to reference Fight Club, it's all I can think of now, Pitt acknowledge's their importance, the people who clean up everyone elses shit, the people who get their garbage and make their burgers. Without these people, society couldn't function. -
this is a first for me on AICN:your post was so ignorant, misguided and biased, I concede it would be a waste of time to try to convince you of anything.so, I guess...you win? that small-minded tactic of screaming "you liberals" this and "tpical liberals" that...it's very effective. dumb, but effective. so congrats.
-
rockapella? if not, spurlock should've considered them. i mean, their theme for 'where in the world is carmen sandiego' is classic stuff.
-
sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina / he's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize / he'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
tell me where in the world is osama bin laden? -
You really don't like my 30 day oat bran prune juice diet, do you? PS. Who political post on this talk back isn't biased? Double PS. I prefer using the term Moonbats instead of liberals, like the libs use Wingnut. That is all. Toodles.

This Project was an Excuse for a Vacation for the Spurlocks
by alice cooper stalker
I saw Supersize me. I thought it was interesting. Was I didn't think was interesting was when Spurlock's wife got screen time. She annoyed me. Her look annoyed me. Her dress annoyed me. Her dialogue annoyed me. I think that this move was just an exuse project so that the Spurlock's could finance a vacation. He's starting to make unwatchable documentaries like Moore does.
-
Preach on brother. People are so consumed with liberal white guilt they're unable to make rational unbiased opinions for themselves. What fucking planet are you people living on?
-
What about that rumor that this guy actually found him and has footage? I heard that's why the W Bros. picked this up super fast...no idea..I'll leave my cave door open..
-
...I think. I enjoyed his movie and his shows, even if what the detractors say is true. Sure, I knew eating McDonalds turns you into a fat, disgusting pig, but the point of the documentary (no, it wasn't to high light national health issues like some pretentious fuckwad said up there) was to take a healthy man and turn him into a disgusting pig with a McDonalds diet. Sort of like a really long Jackass stunt. Sure, his shit is near the bottom of lowest common denominator TV like EXTREME MAKEOVER or the biggest loser...But its still harmless fun.
-
...Aren't about Oil. They are about Halliburton and the biggest mark ups for goods and services the world has ever known. Did you know it somehow costs a 5 dollar a day phillipino lady 75 dollars to wash one bag of millitary laundry? Politics and War. I really should have gotten in on the ground floor of that business.
-
Keep typing. It's not worth wasting time on a reply to try to show you exactly how far your head is up your ass, but if your pitiful animal braying provides the talkback with another inspired systembroom mockery of your "logic" it will be worthwhile.
-
Is for people who can't think for themselves and make their observations and opinions based on media coverage and pop politics.
-
Yeah ebonic_plague. Cool name. I'm so ready to take you seriously. Rap your fucking answer why don't you? OK. Go.
-
You guys are lone voices of both truth and completely thought-through non-self-nullifying logic. If only everybody here understood what you are trying to say: that the government/taxpayer should pay for some things, but not others, and that the distinction between the two should be made by some amorphous criteria such as "good foundational" and "self sufficient" and not by whatever the public votes for. Because the public is full of sheep who listen to sources like television, college professors and other assorted members of the "media," instead of mental giants who post anonymously on movie websites with screen names like "Piltdown Joey" and "Sailor Rip." God, people are so stupid! It's probably all the liberal white guilt they are feeling, when instead they should be feeling the awesome high that comes from being self-reliant and never using shit like unemployment benefits or an earned income tax credit (although making copious use of roads, police forces, subsidized food, pharmaceuticals/aerospace/electronics technology developed by government agencies, etc.). Buncha liberal losers, I say. Man I cannot wait until all this multicultural/pc/other "liberal" nonsense demonized by right-wing politicos with absolutely no axes to grind/books to sell/radio or tv programs to boost ratings for is finally done away with. Ideally by forcing the people to give it up with laws and shit like that. That will be a glorious day, a true taxpayer revolution. Come, comrades Piltdown and Sailor, let us seize the machinery of the state, and end our pathetic and impotent rantings on this talkback, and actually put some of our crackpot and self-serving ideas into action!
-
Rub a dub dub, your mother's a whore, fuck off.

...If you want said child to be a valuable member of society, cultural and athletic skills are a necessity. However, the way they are emphasized is also important. They tend to be perverted by American curriculums. Sport, which should be primarily about physical fitness, and secondarily about developing both self reliance, emotional control AND social networking, tends to be focued more on scoring points and getting paid (scholarships). Same goes with the cultural teachings. Appreciation of art leads to empathy and further helps with communication and building social networking. Mostly they just teach them how to play a recorder. Every aspect tends to be heavily neglected in public education. From the practical life sustaining trivialties of changing a fucking tire and budgeting a grocery bill to a classical reading list. However, even though you are a douchebag (Your insistance that you and yours are entitled to tax payer money and government privileges, but not others) and your support of oppressive and violent thieves, I do agree that tax payers shouldn't have to feed or educate other peoples kids. Sure, they will grow up as useless savages, but don't the police already take a chunk of my income for locking them up later?
-
Yeah, that's what I thought. Was it that hard to graduate from High School?
-
... the EITC or Earned Income Credit for un-initiated. Oh you made this little money lasy year, and your struggling to support the 3 kids you had? Have some fucking money. It's on us.
-
...somehow I knew my response would be the one you chose to "debate." I know they're desperate for fresh bodies, what with the war and all, but when did the Navy start accepting obvious queers?
-
I want to hear the story about the guy you know who, no matter how hard he tried, couldn't get a job that would pay him a decent wage so he could support himself. Spin me a yarn. Tell me a tale. This isn't the time for jokes and satire. Tell me about it. I'm interested.
-
I'm not in the navy. It's obvious from your gay bashing and avoidence of the subject you have no real interest in debating the subject matter.
-
I thought I mentioned that? As for your inspirational story, pull your head out of your ass, close the talkback window, leave your gated community and you might actually meet someone with a story like you described, they're not in short supply. Sorry for insinuating you were an actual sailor, good luck with your Village People cover band or whatever.

He just doesn't get it. He won't be able to come up with a story about somebody who tried really hard, but just couldn't make it in the great land of opportunity/meritocracy that is the US. And if he did, he'd probably just be making it up, just like liberals do when they want to make a point: come up with some semi-convincing fictional anecdote divorced from verifiable statistics to back up their policy proposal. Which is completely missing the point! There are so many sturdy beggars and welfare queens out there, driving their cadillacs and sending their multiple miscreant children to public school on the taxpayer's dime (why, just the other day, I saw one!); how can we even be debating Ebonic Plague's nonsense when we have this epidemic of what, without bothering to cite figures, I am certain are a societally significant number of people abusing welfare! Yeesh. Get a clue, communists!
-
True Pilt. But you seem bent on making the government every self sufficient adult's daddy. I don't need you, or a bunch of thieves, telling me how to live my life or spend my money. You rag on liberals for giving money to lazy crack heads who don't know how to use a condom or look up an abortion clinic in the phone book, but you seem content to give hundreds of millions of dollars to fat white men who happen to be chummy with Bush and Co. Seriously, tell me the difference between a guy who collects welfare and robs liquor stores and Halliburton. Oh, thats right, one has friends who make laws. Fair enough. I have more respect for drug dealers than the government. At least Drug Dealers are following the most honest form of supply and demand transaction, as opposed "Give me your money or I will kill you" ethics presented by ANY government, supposedly left or right.
-
...anyway, I have to get up for WORK tommorow. Goodnight.
-
Yahoo sucks. Why does the Yahoo player assume that I would want to watch a trailer repeatedly on a continuous loop? And why must I watch a damn commercial to watch one measly trailer? Help them, Microsoft! ODB= Ol' Dirty Bastard. OBL=Osama Bin Laden. "Oh, OBL. You kill me!"
-
Uh, Hillary, do you really think you should model our society on cute sayings out of Africa?
Last time I checked, they were mired is the worst ethnic violence and misery on the planet. Maybe it takes two dedicated parents to raise a child. Unless you are one of the ho's who goes on Maury to find out who the daddy of your child is. Don't you think after you test the Tenth guy's DNA you could give up the search and get you legs welded shut? -
I know a guy who is gonna trade me some rims for these food stamps that've been stacking up, since I can't use them for newports. But first I gotta get drag my baby mama's ass down to the clinic for an abortion, since we hit the upper limit for welfare there's no point in more of the lil shits. Usually I'd just knock her down the stairs again but then I read Piltdown's story of how the government takes all y'alls money for this stuff anyway, so might as well not let it go to waste. I mean, Carpe DM and all that, Piltdown's money isn't just gonna spend itself!
-
...don't even bother. Some guy thought my user name was chosen because I was in the Navy. Ha! It's not like this is a MOVIE site! Ebonic whatever, if you, and only you, can guess what movie my name is from you win a free pass.

It's all a joke till they take u hostage & cut your head off
by orionsangels
-
I...nah, not worth it. it's like arguing spelling with an orangutan...
-
It will make no difference if they ever catch him or not. This moronic and retarded "leader" (aka Bush jun.) already made a friggin hero and (even worse) a martyr out of BinLaden. Now the Hydra has too many heads to cut them all off....
-
Doesn't that look great?!!!
-
Have you read a newspaper in the last 8 or 9 years? Are you basically aware of what's happening in the Middle East, i.e., Gulf War I, 9/11, Invade Afghanistan, Iraq, Saddam/Zarqawi = Dead, Iran = Problem,?
Then you don't need to see this movie. It's bookended by him talking about his gf being pregnant and how he needs to stop bin Laden to make the world safe for his kid. He goes around the world, and then when he's about to go into the scary part of Pakistan to really look for Bin Laden, he pusses out and goes home, saying that 'it doesn't matter' if we find him or not, and goes back to watch his kid get bor(i)n(g). Lame. -
Glad I live in Canada.
-
The man commits the largest mass murder on American soil and he gets away. Thanks George W. and all those who voted for him. You're all really bright.
-
The offer to take Blassy's 30 day oat bran/prune juice 30 day challenge still stands. Let me if you accept and will document in HDDV.
-
For your challenge to make sense, the contestant would need to choose a wider range of foods. Dickface Spurlock chose and ate more variety from the Maccas menu, not just nuggets and shakes. To be fair, you would have to pick a competing "healthy" restraunt, and choose their special offers.
-
To the Blassy 30 day challenge: Metamucil, Red Bull, cabbage and baked beans. Let the challenge BEGIN!
-
The guy is impossible not to like.
-
The guy may have hit on some interesting ideas in his first film, but he is exactly a charming and likable person. Not someone who makes your skin crawl, but just kinda of there, like jodie foster, minus the electric sexual charisma.
-
"but he isn't exactly a charming and likable person" there.
But these small keyboards look cool. -
The guy's name was Jared and he lost over 150 pounds eating at Subway.
-
Somebody should slap that band geek in the back of his head as he is chomping down on his 6 inches lettuce and mustard sub. With the Blassy Challenge, you simply shit all the weight off! Food will be passing thru like woman going straight to the last size 8 at a shoe sale.
-
Yes, we are all responsible for our choices, but he was showing the public how unhealthy that food really is. The amount of sugar and sodium that is in everything that they sell is horrendous. They consider a heavy user a person who eats McD’s once every 2-3 weeks. Remember how they used to guarantee nutrition guides available, yet he would ask and the employees and they didn’t know where they were? How about when the nutrition guides were hidden behind a Happy Meal display? No, I don’t eat McDonalds and like others have said the movie was also about the ever-growing portion that we Americans eat and how the food quality was going down and lack of exercise and health education was going up.
All Spurlock did was eat food. Sure he was eating fatty food and he gained weight, but he shouldn’t be having internal organ failure from just eating food. -
Now I will jump on that bandwagon. It can't be good for anyone's health to sit on their fat ass all day, playing video games. That itself should be the subject of an entire documentary.
-
...That Americans are a little dumber than everyone else in the Western world, if Digitized is to be believed. I've lived all over, and aside from Great Britain which seems to cherish their ability to mould fat and ugly people, McDonalds is regarded and has always been regarded as being somewhere on the food scale between toxic feces and Candy Floss. Again, the documentary served, at least internationally, as a geek show. Come see the stupid hippy live like a pig and make himself sick. Like Johnny Knoxville eating 50 eggs. The rest was just padding.
-
How many jobs does a single mom with 5 kids on welfare create?
-
I disagree. I'm British and we regard McDonalds as being the food equivalent of toxic waste. We just also have a huge amount of imbeciles that would eat themselves if they were deep fried.
