An unnecessary distinction (also, porno)
Nov 3, 2008 | Filed under Misc., Movies
I heard a political ad on the radio this morning that was touting the efforts of a particular state senator’s efforts to protect the people from “child sex predators.” I was unaware that there were different categories of child predator, necessitating the distinction. Perhaps part of our financial crisis is due to child lending predators, running amok giving small children irresponsible loans? Or maybe they just didn’t want us to confuse them with literal child predators, like lions or an out-of-control hippo. And frankly, that’s a shame, because I don’t want a state legislator that refuses to deal with our community’s marauding hippo problem.
Took in Zack and Miri Make a Porno this weekend, and it was good. Not nearly as good as the three minute red-band trailer would lead you to believe, but it was still pretty enjoyable. Just like a real porno, it opens pretty flatly, has some good stuff in the middle, and gets messy before it all wraps up. Still, this is a nice step forward for Kevin Smith, and I’m now officially looking forward to Red State instead of dreading it.

I was recommended to watch Zack and Miri by the cutest and generally most conservative girl i know, so i fully intend to see it.
I didn’t vote because neither candidate addressed, at least to my standards, the issues of urban hippo killings. If more people like us keep speaking the truth, we will be heard!
