Am watching "Bowling for Columbine" ...

People are idiots. Huge, gagworthy, nauseating idiots.

That is all.

EDIT: Marilyn Manson is coming off as the smartest person in this thing. And without editing. That's absolutely terrifying.

Yeah, Marilyn gives these really coherent, intelligently thought out answers that just sound so strange when he's totally in costume.

Also, I so love the cartoon history of the US. Hee. Wait'll you see it. All I could think was, "Ain't that the truth."

Hrm, I wonder if it'll come out on pay per view. I'd hate to actually have to visit the video store.

People keep telling me I should read his book, even those that are not big fans of his music. He really comes off as uber smart.

Um...you guys are taking Moore seriously? Moore is a pillock. He wouldn't know truth if it beat him on the head.

Never said I was taking Moore seriously. Anybody who wins a Best Screenplay award from the WGA for a documentary can't be all that big on the truth thing. (Although the whole movie did amuse the hell out of me. But still.)

The idiots bit struck me when average New Yorkers started to give their opinions of Canadians. Richer than us with no violent movies and all white people? Ooo-kay. And everybody has a pony, and they all play harps, and there's free candy for everyone on Tuesdays, too. Sheesh.

I wouldn't say I'm taking Moore seriously, I haven't even watched the movie. I was commenting about the intelligence of Marilyn Manson.
