But that's what most corporations are: soulless, and mindful only of profits and appeasing the shareholders. The challenge is proving that companies that pay their employees well, offer strong benefits, and are good stewards of the environment will actually be MORE profitable long-term because consumers are willing

I'm just here to upvote Hot Fuzz references.

I usually have to hide all the breakable items in the room before listening to that part.

Ladies and gentlemen, this man is for the birds!

Nevermind his wonderfully demented turn as "Santa" in Tales from the Crypt's "And All Through the House".

You think if you pick up all the bus driver's teeth they'll give you another medal?

I found the cowboy scene more upsetting than terrifying, largely because the cowboy was such a tremendous prick.

Unfortunately, yes.
