Stumble It!
Digg It!From the trailer, An American Carol looks to be completely hilarious. They cast Chris Farley's brother -- who is, like Chris Farley, also fat -- as Michael Moore, who is fat. Also:
When terrorists from Afghanistan realize that they need to recruit more operatives to make up for the ever-diminishing supply of suicide bombers, they begin a search for just the right person to help produce a new propaganda video. "This will not be hard to find in Hollywood," says one. "They all hate America."It's funny because it's true. Hollywood people do hate America. Why has Hollywood never made a movie about how Hollywood hates America? This probably goes back to how much it hates America. Which, like any statement of fact, is also funny.
Also see: David Zucker's ad about how diplomacy toward North Korea doesn't work (as evidenced by the fact that they already nuked us), which ends in Madeleine Albright being shot by Kim Jung-Il. Classic.
Read anything on Consumerist in the voice of Milton from Office Space. You can start with the below:
I visited this store for the first time. I placed my regular order and when I said "and a Sweet Tea with no ice" I got met with resistance from the cashier and manager. The cashier called over her manager and they spoke in spanish, not english like I was speaking. The manager then said it was $1.69 for the sweet tea even though right above her head it say $1. She claimed it was because I didn't want ice. I stated at every other restaurant I have never been charged 69 cents for "having it my way" without ice. She then pointed to a sign hung on the wall that stated " $1 Sweet Tea with ice only otherwise regular price". First, I never knew Sweet Tea had any other price than $1 and the big sign behind didn't show that. So I then said "Ok, I'll take ice in my drink, 1 ice cube will be enough." She then said it has to be totally full of ice, and then pointed to a different sign that said "$1 Sweet Tea with FULL cup of ice only. Otherwise regular price. No Refills."
You do have to feel sorry for some of these people, particularly this guy, who went through what was practically a second Holocaust (and at McDonald's, which is much less scenic than Europe). Thank God for Consumerist raising awareness about this gentleman's travails. You can donate here.
