True, except I didn't think they were victims. She can (possibly) be a racist and they can still be thieving assholes. I don't have to choose a "side".

And nobody called anybody anything, right?

Sylvester Sylvester Sylvester.

That's a fair point. On the other hand, it's hard to view 3 retards robbing a store as victims, and if prosocial concern gets you called some of the worst insults in the language, society is probably no longer a meaningful concept.

@chilaxe, I have racist relatives. I have watched them go bananas when a black person does something they don't like. I found her reaction to be way over the top - it appeared to be fueled by something more than just thievery.

Have you been around racist folks in the South? Have you listened to the vitriol and bile that comes out of their mouths about black people? It is astounding, irrational, and deeply rooted in something primal and rage-filled.

There are all sorts of people here, commenting on how irresponsible and weird it is that she risked her life and limbs over a couple of cases of beer. Something set her off. I guessed -- guessed -- that it might be racism.

I could be wrong. I don't know. I'm just looking at the evidence in front of me, paired up with my knowledge of the profound irrationality of deeply racist people.

I just thought the tags were really cool. Sylvester Sylvester Sylvester is funny.

That suspended, almost-naked, Sylvester Stallone....thing on the ceiling is frightening, I can't believe these people can eat under that.

There was a whole series of these commercials several years ago, with Bruce Lee, Frank Sinatra, Sylvester Stallone, James Brown, etc. I was happy to see them reprised, and I thought this one was pretty decent (obviously, or I wouldn't have posted it).

Oh by the way if no one has noticed the guys in the pink the guards if you say look familiar because they are modeled after Sylvester Stalone and you can see them guarding the president in several different clips from the show.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

That's OK my Glee brother. It just feels great to be out of the Glee-lovin' closet. >> ^gorlak:

Bummer, sorry dag.

If you feel that watching Glee makes you too gay, do yourself a favor and give it a shot. It started off a little slow, but quickly became brilliant. And a lot of that is because of Jane Lynch's genius Sue Sylvester character.

Excellent, I love that they were able to get sylvester stallone to do his rambo voice( ha ha)!

According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucia_di_Lammermoor#Trivia, it's been used in;

The "Lucia Sextet" (Chi mi frena in tal momento?) was recorded in 1908 by Enrico Caruso, Marcella Sembrich, Antonio Scotti, Marcel Journet, Barbara Severina, and Francesco Daddi, (Victor single-sided 70036) and released at the price of $7.00, earning it the title of "The Seven-Dollar Sextet". The film The Great Caruso incorporates a scene featuring a performance of this sextet.

The "Lucia Sextet" melody is best known to some from its use by the American slapstick comedy team the Three Stooges in their short films Micro-Phonies and Squareheads of the Round Table, sung in the latter with the lyrics "Oh, Elaine, can you come out tonight...." But the melody is used most dramatically in Howard Hawks' gangster classic "Scarface": Tony Camonte (Paul Muni) whistles "Chi mi frena?" in the film's opening sequence, as he guns down a ganglord boss he has been assigned to protect.

It has also been used in Warner Brothers cartoons: Long-Haired Hare, sung by the opera singer (Bugs Bunny's antagonist); Book Revue, sung by the wolf antagonist; and in Back Alley Oproar, sung by a choir full of Sylvesters, the cat.

The "Lucia Sextet" melody also figures in two scenes from the 2006 film The Departed, directed by Martin Scorsese. In one scene, Jack Nicholson's character is shown at a performance of "Lucia di Lammermoor", and the music on the soundtrack is from the sextet. Later in the film, Nicholson's cell phone ringtone is the sextet melody.

The Sextet is also featured during a scene from the 1986 comedy film, The Money Pit.

In the children's book "The Cricket in Times Square," Chester Cricket chirps the tenor part to the "Lucia Sextet" as the encore to his farewell concert, literally stopping traffic in the process.

An aria from the "mad scene," "Il dolce suono" (from the 3rd Act), was re-popularized when it was featured in the film The Fifth Element in a performance by the alien diva Plavalaguna (voiced by Albanian soprano Inva Mula-Tchako and played onscreen by French actress Maïwenn Le Besco). A loose remake of this film version of the song was covered by Russian pop singer Vitas.

The "mad scene" was also used in the first episode of the anime series Gankutsuou (in place of L'Italiana in Algeri which was the opera used in that scene in The Count of Monte Cristo).

The "mad scene" aria, as sung by Inva Mula-Tchako, was used in an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent involving the murder of a young violinist by her opera singer mother (who performs the song right after the murder).

The "mad scene" was released as a music video by Russian male soprano Vitas in 2006.

Among other selections from the opera, the "mad scene", "Verranno a te sull'aure", and "Che facesti?" feature prominently in the 1983 Paul Cox film Man of Flowers, especially "Verranno a te sull'aure," which accompanies a striptease in the film's opening scene.

The opera is mentioned in the novels The Count of Monte Cristo, Madame Bovary and Where Angels Fear to Tread and was reputedly one of Tolstoy's favorites.

"Regnava nel silenzio" accompanies the scene in Beetlejuice in which Lydia (Winona Ryder) composes a suicide note.

A portion of the opera is also used in a key scene of the film The Fifth Element, written and directed by Luc Besson.

Note to fledgling 'sift-police' - this is an excellent example of a vid where it's OK to post it even though another vid has it (around the 1 minute mark in the one Sylvester pointed to) - it's not a dupe according to the "it's short enough to stand on its own" rule.

*in a Sylvester Stallone voice... ALIEN!!!! CONGRATS!!
