I'm not going to give my opinion of Prick Macfarlane the person.
From a comedy movie fan perspective this looks like five tons of crap in a two ton crate.
Any trailer that resorts to Full Metal Swearing is already really thin on material.
I'm sure there's a really good reason why there's only one living stuffed animal in a world where people don't seem to notice it's alive...and then for some reason it has a job.
From a marketing perspective, why in a movie preview would they rattle off a long list of female names--many quite popular--as the butt of a joke that's not even funny? Are they trying to get no one to see it?
I'm sure it will find a cult audience.


It's not often that I agree with you @quantumushroom, but you make good points. I enjoyed this trailer but it doesn't bode well for the film. A swearing pothead teddy bear? OK, that's funny, but this trailer pretty much does the joke. There needs to be a lot more to make a good 2 hours than this one joke and if a list of white-trash girls' names is the best of the rest, this movie's in trouble.

I could see this appealing to the "Office Space" crowd (which I am a member). Although it doesn't have that "this could be me" quality, it seems to have a familiar style to it and maybe the jokes are there. (It occurs to me now that Office Space was also a live-action film by an animated cartoon creator, hmm.)

That said, the "one living stuffed animal" - well, it's a story. It's fiction. Maybe it's explained and maybe there are others but either way, who cares? That's the world that the story is set in and if you can't suspend disbelief then very, very little fiction must be acceptable to you.

4.1. What is gross revenue?
Gross revenue is all monies generated through a gaming event, including total sales and interest income. Gross revenue minus prize costs and other expenses equals net revenue.

Expenses must not exceed 25 per cent of the actual gross revenue of the ticket raffle. Prize costs are not included in the 25 per cent maximum expense calculation.

Remember amount of money taken in does not equal profit. The profit after overhead was 2.2 mil
Overhead would include, Gaming License, Advertising costs, mail outs, tv ads, printing, office space, office staff.

Taxes - In Canada, all taxes are paid by the raffle holders.
I've looked everywhere but can't find the payable amount of taxes but from experience, I've heard it's around 40-50% but that number could be out-of-thin-air.

@Boise_Lib. Level 4. This is starting to feel like Office Space. How much flair are you wearing???!!!???

Office Space. One of the funniest, most underrated movies ever!

In hindsight I'm glad I kept my lip zipped, still have a job for the moment at least. I watched Office Space last week and maybe thats affected my thinking, I had a milton moment

I don't see where teaching kids basic food facts would be a bad thing. Likewise showing them the results of bad choices as in Supersize Me or the book Fastfood Nation.
All insults to bad parents aside, problems also arise when big business/lobby groups want to get involved in what gets taught to our kids.

A little bit extreme but funny link by the way!

Stupid kids grow up to be stupid parents and have lots of stupid kids who grow up to be stupid parents and (et cetera ad nauseum)... at some point someone has to step in. I for one am all for mandatory school viewings of "Supersize Me" as early as preschool. If kids are going to be brought to poison outlets by their fat, lazy-ass and empty-headed parents, at least let them know what their in for.
Remember this?

Why Sarah Palin's North Korea Flub Matters
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mitchell-bard/why-sarah-palins-north-ko_b_788647.html


"If she hasn't already, I'm sure Palin will say that the "elitist," "lamestream" media is doing her wrong, and that she is once again a victim of "gotcha journalism." And Palin's small but passionate group of supporters will undoubtedly argue that Palin made an honest slip of the tongue, something that could happen to any of us. Her supporters are right. Saying "North" instead of "South" is something that any of us could easily do.

But here's the thing: Any of us did not stand up two years ago and claim we were qualified to fill a job that is a heartbeat away from the American presidency. We haven't written books, made speeches, endorsed candidates and spoke to the (mostly right-wing) media as if we were policy experts. And we haven't been scouting office space in Iowa for a 2012 presidential run."

I don't really care for Family Guy, but I enjoyed this clip. Loved Office Space!
