Nomination announced: Cinematic turd of the year

Radio Dave sent me this. Looks absolutely brutal.

Why create a fictitious hatchet job on Dumbya when his entire Presidency is far more excoriating an indictment? Who gives a tinker’s cuss about this fratboy crouton’s privileged back story? Do we need the man who gave us The Doors telling us that George H.W. Bush is a [...]

Great Success!

Via Dlisted, I just found out that the drunken frat boys who were attempting to sue the producers of Borat for depicting them as…well, as themselves.
