"You wrecked Hitler's car!  What'd he ever do to you?"

He veal curz tha day he vaz burn a Frankensteen.
WHAT?

Funnier than Biggus Dickus?

After robbing the corporation and killing everyone he's going to entrust his money to some guy named Bernie Madoff.

Old joke I heard as a kid:

Or why we had to go to the Moon "… in this deCADE"

Ah, German.  The language of love. The only German I learned as a kid came from movies and TV.  So it consisted of "Sieg Heil", "Schweinhunt" and "Topedos los!".   Oh and whatever the German equivalent is of "I see nothing.  Nothing!"

No one has mentioned that Roger Daltrey was the caterpillar.

The author's point is that this is really about Obama.  Notice they rail against "big government" and "big media" but the media part is not them, but the Liberals.  Yeah, because it's Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann who advocated and defended sending America's young people to die in a war.

No one has explained yet why they compete in the games at all.  If it's some kind of human sacrifice then they're being forced.  But if they train and then volunteer - what's in it for them?  Seems more likely that they'd band together and send their kids to the Capitol to kill their kids.

The MOTW idea makes sense if they thought it would be on long enough to go into syndication.  A strictly linear show would make it tough to sell.  How would people watch it when the backstory for each episode relied on so many other episodes.  It would also have to be shown in order.

"Wholly Water"

@Cookie_Monster - I think part of it is a huge kiss on the ass to the viewers.  "We have traveled all through the many universes and only you humans have thought of loving each other."

They have to stick to the formula - that is each week the last team is "eliminated".  And none of that "non-elimination round" crap!  As for them eeach executing each other - nice touch!  That would make the last leg of the race a battle to the death.

Tell them how, at their age you were reading Atlas Shrugged.  That should turn them around.

aren't there laws against those names?

How do the think Susan, the weird child of hippies will feel?

No … no … no.  In THE FUTURE people will have names with numbers in them.

The more comments I read (I haven't read the books or seen the movie - my only excuse being I'm a adult) is that it's starting to sound like The Amazing Race if they executed the last team.  "I'm sorry Pam and Allen, but you are the last team and you're going to be beheaded."
