I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell is going on in this video.
The old guy looks drunk, the second guy looks like he's pissed at the old guy (and tries to punch him once), and the third guy looks like he's trying to help the old guy (but doesn't act like the second guy is a threat).
Then this other guy comes in, sucker punches one of them, and then attacks the guy that looked like he was only trying to help.
???


Second guy is setting up old guy for getting beatup by first guy. Then in rides the Boss on his flaxen steed of Awesomeness.

Again... such a beatup about shit all, but brilliant for Ricky's career and for the Golden Globes.

Can't say I like Piers Morgan at all, he's a fricken annoying interviewer that asks all the trite, predictable crap.

>> ^brunopuntzjoneshe sure as hell is wearing a whores uniform.


Christ. Do you really not see the stupidity of that comment? The 1950s called, they want their misogynistic world-view back.

I'm going to spell this out in dot points for the slow people here who have trouble understanding this video.

1 - Ms Sainz entered the locker room to carry out her duties as a sports reporter
2 - Some of the Neanderthals were overheard by OTHER REPORTERS making comments about her appearance.
3 - These other reporters decided to make a big deal of it and write about 'OMG sexual harassment' in their respective publications.
4 - The news media, quality institution that it is, grabs the story and beats it up true to form.
5 - Ms Sainz tweets about how embarrassed she is about THE MEDIA BEATUP, not her perceived treatment in the locker room.
6 - Idiot Fox reporter jumps on the band wagon, yet Ms Sainz does a respectable job of trying to explain the truth in the interview anyway.
7 - idiots everywhere still fail to get the point.

>> ^kymbos:
Good point on the irony of those very quick to proclaim racism assuming that all dark skinned people are African Americans.


Hi Kymbos

It's not so much an assumption, more so an assignment of race (and accompanying stereotypes) based purely on colour of skin. If it had been portraying a Pakistani (Pakistan being the other touring cricket team this season) supporter group the race assignment from American critics (and accompanying sterotypes) would have been just as inappropriate.

The good thing is I realise not all Americans are that ignorant, and TBH it's been a media beatup to a certain extent. There seems to be a distinct lack of news in news today......Thanks Rupert.

Have you spent any time looking into the validity of that movie? Being that it would seem it's primary contention is that Moore lied about actually having an interview with Roger Smith of GM for the movie Roger and Me... and seeing as they have no proof that this ever happened... and in fact

The claim of a second meeting at the Waldorf Astoria hotel appears to be contradicted by Smith himself, who said in a 1990 interview with the LA Times that "I've never stayed at the Waldorf."

I think you'll find it's a beatup on Moore with no factual back up.

For every one of Moores docos you can go and look up all of his claims, all of his facts, everything he says. Can you do the same for Manufacturing Dissent?

I haven't seen it, so I can't really comment on it, but just as people should indeed check everything that Moore presents in his films, so should you check what you see in that one.

Don't take ANY one film maker's view as gospel truth without checking the facts.



>> ^Aniatario:
I once thought Moore was an amazing individual, a hero even. Battling the monsters of the right wing media. But after watching "Manufacturing Dissent" for Canadian Film last year my respect for the man dropped about ten notches.

Uuuummm, a beatup perhaps?

Bloody hell what a hooplah over nothing. ALL the people involved were extras and actors, so everyone will have signed off on being in such a situation. The crash was next to nothing, no-one was seriously hurt.

Really... what a load of shite.

When he said that portion in the address I at once balked (I hate non-believers, it's like we are not-right), but at the same time rejoiced that the leader of the most powerful country is actually strong enough in his faith and just enough in his views to include everyone. (and to those complaining that he didn't include all faiths in the address... oh come on... it was a symbolic list, and to include atheists over other religions is just to list SOME religions and also those who believe in NO religion, thereby demonstrating he, and everyone in the states (and the world) should accept everyone no matter their beliefs in a divine being).

This is such utter bullcrap beatup pandering to their known base of viewers, hardline right wing christian idiots who can't think for themselves.

I took offense at the amount of praying and other religious claptrap that was laid onto the inauguration. I don't mind if a president/prim minister is religious, and feels they would like to give thanks to their chosen god for the honour of leading a country, but could they do that in a separate service perhaps? Political acts should have no religion in them...

Nonetheless, before the fight, everyone had reached a consensus that Kimbo can only beatup bums on the street, this shows that he's not just a one trick pony but can fight with some of the best. Even though Ray is old and looks kind of flappy in the video, he must pack a mean punch, strong enough to put the lights out of most mortals/high level amateur boxers, and seeing how Kimbo treats him like a rag doll, I think he's well on his way up.

That was entirely too huge a beatup for a fairly 'eh' song I'm afraid.
