Members EricMontreal22 Posted December 5, 2011 Members Share Posted December 5, 2011 I just can't. This is too much (is the news that boring right now? can people who feel this movie is evil not create their own movie?)-- http://videogum.com/...comment-9037002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 5, 2011 Members Share Posted December 5, 2011 There is a concerted effort to make big money moguls look like martyrs and heroes, and anyone below them look like zombies or lazy bums. That's why you have the hero of the far right, Newt Gingrich, telling everyone that all poor people are lazy and worthless and don't want to work, and only if poor children are put to work by the rich will anything improve. I'm not surprised that the power brokers would hate the Muppets. Even better, this helps give more money to the Twilight movies, which basically tell viewers that women are brain dead brood mares.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 5, 2011 I could start a whole new subject about my worries with Twilight and what it's teaching (mainly) girls. This just seems so insane--as the article I linked points out, do they not know how idiotic it makes them seem? If I felt that the Muppets movie (and the Muppets at their best have always been about a civilized anarchy) was teaching kids to not care about each other or what society could be, but to hold as villains the rich I would still make a less easily parodied news segment.

Members DRW50 Posted December 5, 2011 Members Share Posted December 5, 2011 The sad thing is this will make many people hate the Muppets and never, ever see anything involving them, when the Muppets, especially the early years, are genuinely entertaining, family fun, and in no way political, unless "love everyone" is political. I wish I could laugh at this type of thing but this is what controls the media and this is what controls America. Hate, loathing, and fear for anything but big business and far right Dominionists who remember to put "those" people in their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 5, 2011 Completely agreed Carl. I think it just makes any arguments FoxNews might actually have (and I actually think there are...some) just look idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ER Tosh Posted December 6, 2011 Members Share Posted December 6, 2011 The plot of the movie is that a bad guy has bought the muppet theater.How can he NOT be rich? a poor person does not go around buying theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
