I'm probably sheltered when it comes to this area. Also, I think the contrast between the flippancy and the helplessness of the victims makes it even worse for me. It leaves me particularly sickened. YMMV, of course.

Yeah, I really don't know why you fail to mention the pretty disturbing rape scene. The movie has its hilarious moments but that's truly an ordeal to witness. This remains one of the more disturbing films I've ever seen.
Who would have thought?
Vincent Price is back—and sounds better than ever!
Me and she are very angry right now.
And I also have to note that Meet the Deedles (or MtD, if you're in the know) introduced America to the slang term "P-dog", meaning prairie dog. Remember when you almost never heard people saying the full phrase? I can't believe it's only been ten years.
Good lord, get it straight! Tom Arnold was in The Stupids, two whole years before Meet the Deedles. Ah, what a golden age for useless American film. Wait… When did Monkey Trouble come out?
You know, at the time…
This movie seemed just pathetic. But now that you've looked at it again, I think this might be as good as, if not better than Meet the Deedles, which is one of the most perfectly shitty films I've ever seen.
I know that the SP kids will say I'm being "too sensitive."
But does anyone get tired of this casual accusation of treason? God, even the much funnier "Team America" had this at the heart of its criticism of the left and now "An American Carol" seems set to pull the same old shit under the guise of comedy.
Hell, I thought "Team America" was funny, but politically balanced? You've got to be kidding me. Parker and Stone are still, pound for pound, the funniest two guys on TV, but a lot of times they get caught up in politics which they openly admit they don't care about. And that, folks, is how you get the "Little Bit…
I'm fine with retards, as long as they don't rub it in my face. Okay, I get it. You're retarded. You don't have to be so obvious about it, though. Christ.
Bernie Mac didn't recover.
He's dead.
Damn, Noel…
You're sounding a bit mercenary here. I was actually sad for Don; he's trying to be an honorable sort, but the company just doesn't have room for that kind of thing.
Celebrity is a MPDG tonic.
That's why I love that movie. Allen has Branagh's character pursue the MPDG, Ryder, and what happens?
Way ahead of you, Lev.
I'd pay to see David Duke do stand up before I'd have Mencia cut my fucking grass.
Or like there are some people who will never be happy, no matter what they're given!
God no…
Carlos Mencia is Richard Nixon.
Whoa, whoa, whoa? Did you just compare Olbermann to the NY fucking Times?
I could definitely deal with the polio and the wheelchair if I could wield that much power and get that much tail.
All I'm saying is that, even if Lennon had survived in 1980 (which I, not surprisingly, think would have been good), and the band stayed together or reunited for the long term, I would probably hate them as much as I now hate the Stones.
