Shouldn't you be off at "Good Taste in Films 101"?
Or is Sesame Street not over yet?

NASCAR, is just automobiles circling round and round a closed track, pretty boring til one of em wrecks into a guard rail or another car.

The Three Stooges, possibly the greatest comedic trio of all time, was nothing more than a series of simulated pain filled accidents strung together.

And ain't it funny to see someone slip and fall on ice?

Who among us hasn't been deadlocked in traffic, because of a car wreck... ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEDIAN!?!?!?!?! Everyone just has got to slow down rubberneck and gawk in the hopes of seeing a broken body or shattered life.

Watching idiots performing stupid stunts is small time compared to watching people get possibly maimed or killed. Now that's entertainment!

But hey that's just my opinion.


Exactly.  The misfortune of others is the basis of all humor.  Hell, nearly all entertainment in general.  I don't know why the Tipper-Gorites would pick this time and show to suddenly make a stand.

Just copying statements from the article YOU posted Rip.

I believe you called it a "love muffin Impersonator".

Sucks when people call you on your BS huh?

Believe it or not.. the point of NASCAR is to race.  Crashes heppen, but the race is the purpose.  Take a demolition derby for example.. that's where people are actually paying to see crashes and nothing else.  They don't have near the draw of races.

People rubberneck at car accidents, but how many do you see sitting on the side of the road with signs saying "cross the median!" in hopes of seeing it happen.

I understand the obsession with watching the tragedy of others... I just don't understand how shows like love muffin are really apealing to that aspect.  Tragedy is not something that you intentionally walk into for the money.. its something that just happens.

Rip,

Man, I just don't want to live in your vision of America.  

I guess that is what makes this country great.  I don't have to do what you think is "moral" or "correct".



...but Golly-geen, your preaching and "holier than thou" crap is tiresome.

Don't read the replies Furious..."Just put it down, walk away..." :p

(Theres this neat little feature called "Ignore" USE IT!)

No "holier than thou"...just pointing out the facts, our society is rapidly going downhill as a whole in America.  You can stick your head in the sand and ignore it, but it will still remain irregardless.

"De-sensitivity" is indeed working.

Rip, you are fast becoming even more entertaining than Hortlund.

Does it not bother you at all that the facts you post to back up your views are so wrong that they are comical? All you seem to say when called on it is " Yea well I'm right anyway".... ROFL.

There's no cure for it.  I choose not to watch it and definately choose not to encourage it.  I do so like the way people who are paying money to support it pretend not to be responsible in any way shape or form.

If you consider the logic in his statement and analyze his DVD collection, humorous conclusions can be drawn.

I blame DjV for a lot of crappy movies.  He keeps subsidizing and encouraging them.

Of course by similar logic I can be blamed for the McRib.  The Horror...

You bet its pretentious.

As for my movie collection... you won't find a single "backyard wrestling" edition in there.  Nor a single "love muffin" edition.

I've not agreed with Rip in regards to what causes the accidents.  love muffin does not cause people to do stupid things... it doesn't even promote it.  It is simply a show based on people doing incredibly stupid things because somewhere, someone is willing to pay them money to do it.

Yep.. throw "Bum fights" in there too.  Call me pretentious again, but I find it nothing less than sickening that somoene would make those films and that so many would buy them.

Doesn't anyone ever wonder why the colliseum fell to pieces?

The Colosseum fell to pieces because an Emperor decided that he felt for all of Rome that it was amoral.
Then Rome got boring and the empire fell.

I for one think that Gladiatorial games should be re-instituted for those who wish to participate, and I would be part of the crowd, cheering and roaring.
None of this wrestling and boxing crap. Ultimate Fighting Championship comes close, but still not up to B.C Rome glory.
