Well, I saw the latest from the South Park guys. It was funny. I won’t get it on DVD, because I probably couldn’t watch it over and over, unlike South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.
After 9/11, I read this great essay on the web that talked about how the terrorists shouldn’t have messed with America, because we were crazy. It was called, Only a Crazy Person Picks a Fight with Someone Who’s Nuts . It then went on to document all the wild and silly things found in this land of ours. While watching this movie, I was reminded of that essay, because I kept wondering, what will the rest of the world think of this movie? Will they realize that America does get “it”, that we know that violence can be a dead end, that life isn’t like a Bruckheimer movie? Will they also realize that in turn, you can’t always fight evil with sternly worded memos?
I managed to dig up the original link to the essay, but it seems the original site was eaten by the dot-com-bomb. However, through diligent searching, I found the author’s new blog, and found his most recent posting of it. Which you can read here
Here’s a taste:
To those extremists that perpetrated this crime against our nation, I have a warning for you. There are those of us who look at your actions as irrational, twisted, and completely inhuman. By all measures, what you have done can only be seen as insane.
I have news for you. We’re more fucking nuts than you, and it should scare you shitless.
We eat whole pizzas with a single diet Coke and think we’re eating healthy. Taking a single pill from GNC that can cause heart attacks, psychosis, strokes, and even death just so we can metabolize that pizza faster makes it even healthier. And then, despite countless numbers of starving people throughout the world that could have used the food besides us, we go to the bathroom and puke it all up just to stay thin.
We made a sequel to Police Academy 5.
