You Know What Else Offends Me?


Please help me. I need people willing to boycott other movies that have personally offended me. I'm looking for anyone who's willing to become emotionally involved quickly and looking for moderate to large amounts of attention grabbing. Here are the current protests:

Old School: My grandfather had a heart attack after being assaulted by two naked women and they made a comedy out of it starring Will Farrell. How can anyone like this movie?

Finding Nemo: I had to flush a fish down my toilet when I was five and this horrible Pixar comedy brought back so many bad memories that I have had to start up a prescription for sleeping aids in order to doze off without having nightmares.

Juno: I recently got my girlfriend pregnant after the condom broke and now she's demanding money I don't have to support the kid. I can't work more than 60 hours a week or my doctor says I might collapse. I just Netflixed this Oscar-nominated comedy and was horrified that a movie would make light of teenage pregnancy; this is disgusting.

30 Minutes or Less: I went to the theater to see this new comedy that people had continually been bitching about, saying it was making fun of a real-life tragedy. I watched it and was disgusted that it not only neglected to make fun of any such real life event but it actually had a number of serious scenes and not a single joke about Jesse Eisenberg's character's tragic situation. I was promised an inflammatory comedy and what I got instead was 83 minutes of laughter. I want my money back.

She is a Orca, Benjamin. And FYI, they're very difficult to keep in a home aquarium.

Oh god this was awesome! Totally needed some afternoon sarcasm today, it's perfect from start to finish. You had me hooked with "become emotionally involved quickly". Kudos sir, I wish the IMDB boards had more people of your stature.

On a separate note, the responses to this post are hilarious! God I love when people don't understand humor or sarcasm and I love it even more when they refuse to read more than a couple of sentences before forming their insane opinion.

And for pointing out the typical IMDB characters; kusmith gets my undying love.

I'm still trying to decide which was more entertaining: The OP, or the rhetoric that followed attempting to make some sense of it.

Hands down-this is the best post I've read in a long, long time...

You guys are dumb, if there really was a incident that was similar to the events of this film, then surely it would be respect to those involved and not make a comedy about it? yes bad things happen to people all the time but when we are talking about the very specific incidents as this, then its a total different story. Comparing such an event to a gold fish dying and finding nemo, just shows how completely dumb and immature the op is, and how any valid point they might think they have is rendered moot by such idiocity.
