@MyNycgirl Are you saying he's a plushophile? All I know about Mike is that he hates Canadians, the Japanese, and Swedes, in alphabetical order. So I'm not sure he likes stuffed animals, either.
@ZaffireWolf I wouldn't say that it's goofy, more like unbelievably ignorant. Now that Osama is killed I can't wait for the government to update us on the ongoing effort in the Middle East.
If he really was killed. Didn't they "bury him at sea"? Hmm, I smell a crappy story arc in DC or Marvel comics in a few decades. Or maybe even Archie--Sonic the Hedgehog makes no fucking sense ever since they abandoned their entire core premise in favor of the Adventure games.
@ZaffireWolf right like...it doesnt make sense....if you knew where Osama was and we didn't lose any guys trying to take him down....then we could have captured him and put him on trial, something the world would like to have seen and instead-the US government killed him. So now, even if 911 as we know it wasn't the truth-there's no longer anyone who can prove or that we would believe that would know otherwise. It had to be the U.S. covering it's ass.
Makes one wonder how anyone's supposed to get any semblance of closure by watching him squirm a bit or something. I'm pretty sure there are other countries in the world too who would have been interesting in seeing a mass murderer put to justice. Just a "oh, we got him, he's dead, by the way" kind of feels really, really off.
Sorry, that first sentence was grammatically confusing. It should read something like, "Putting him on trial instead of killing him 'off-camera' so to speak seems as though it would give people better closure."
@ZaffireWolf And I'm sure some of the families who were affected more than others would like a chance to collectively prepare some kind of statement. There'd be huge high emotion at the trial, sad-but worth it. Worth it to prove we live by our system, and no matter how much pain we have been through we are going to be fair and CIVIL (as we can be) in that trial.
So....Osama hid for 10 years. Then, we get some intel on where he's at. Then we just off him. wow....THAT makes me think.
Yes, in the Era of the Happy Little Elves, when our nation was run by tiny singing mice in feety pajamas and dancing chocolate bunnies performed tap dances while chimney sweeping and our country was ruled by a unicorn princess on a magic pony that crapped rainbows with talking candy canes strolling down lollipop lane.
People who have time to get ANGRY over MST3K sketches have at least one thing that a lot of other folks don't have: TOO MUCH FREAKIN' TIME ON THEIR HANDS. 'Nuff said.
Well EVERYONE has too much time on their hands, really. I agree people shouldn't be getting upset just because they're wrong, but there's no need to be snooty about it in turn.
M&TB are not making timely comments on gun control and government spending and gridlock; they're mocking bad musical revues, like the Capitol Steps, that attempt to make timely comments on gun control and government spending and gridlock. You morons are likening them to the same exact thing they detest. This is sad.
You really think the MST3K guys detest the Capitol Steps? If this even a reference to them, it seems to be affectionate at most. But that's just my read.
Well, they are lampooning them. That's not COMPLETE respect. I mean, it's not like those videos have any valid contribution to society other than being silly and inane and totally groovalicious baby-doll gnarly spectacular yeah yeah yeah.
It's political satire...I doubt the Capitol Steps were attempting to change the world when they wrote 'If We Only Had McCain' to the tune of 'If I Only Had a Brain'...but it's funny. Rather like MST3K. I guess the fact that they're making fun of something that already pretty much makes fun of itself makes it lose a bit of the bite...don't actually know what 'm arguing here, I guess I just felt the need to step in and defend the Capitol Steps, LOL.
"If an 8 year old kid can save money, how come the government can't?"
I'VE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR YEARS NOW!!!
Mst3k, telling it like it is since 1989 =)
Oh, and Crow is saying "opposed" since it's most likely a reference to any bill that makes since but will never be passed because of lobbyists (like the NRA) and the "government gridlock."
In Cuba this satire would land you in prison...but in America we have the privilege of free speech. Hence you see how much better that makes us. Now ain't that Supercalifragilisticexpi - ironic?
Maybe Fidel's successor should lighten up. Tell him to watch some comedy. Laughing is a good mental exercise to perform every day. If he's feeling depressed from all the work, maybe he should take a day off, devote a day just to himself where he goes to the spa, gets a facelift, puts his feet up, etc. Maybe give his secret police the day off. Whether you're a PM or a fascist dictator, running a country is a big job!
Anyways, I'd say speech in America is cheaper, but not "free".
But that makes it sound like they DON'T want him shooting guns, which goes against the National Rifle Association's religion and all they believe in. Or did he mean to say that he's a symbol of opposition by the NRA, in that he represents the NRA's opposition to people afraid of getting a bullet in their brain for looking at somebody funny?
I'm not sure they had enough brain cells between them to understand the sarcastic message against government incompetence hidden within. They probably would say what they said about the book 1984: "VERY GOOD IDEAS".
You say it must be the NRA proposed the Crime Bill because the NRA likes guns. The 1994 Crime Bill (which is likely what is referred to as the episode aired in December of '94) introduced the Assault Weapons Ban, which the NRA opposed.
Hey, I fully appreciate you helping me understand that point, since I personally knew nothing about it, so thanks for that. But the caption cats thing is a bit...puerile. Thanks anyways.
"I'm the crime bill BANG BANG! I'm the crime bill BANG BANG! I get shot most every day... I'm the crime bill BANG BANG! I'm the... oh, shit, SHIT SHIT!!!!"
Well, gangsters, whether white or wannabe or neither are often childlike in mind, and look up to children. You know, so the connection is easy to see!
