Unintentional humor 1

Air Force One: release the prisoner, then call out "prisoner escaping" [fire]
Omen; housekeeper falls from three stories into an ambulance, "Quick! call her an ambulance!" (quote not in the movie)

R to PG the funny way

I remember George Michael came out with I Want Your Sex. Boy did the radio channels catch flack for that and they had to reissue it packaged as "love". In consideration of that, friends and I thought of Guns and Roses putting out many songs with [EXPLICIT LYRICS] -- even before the label. Perhaps the funniest song with the dub over of "love" or "luv" would probably be It's So Easy. That being the case, there is the two versions of 2 Live Crew's As Nasty as They Wanna Be, Me So Horny. They released "... Appetite for love". That was even more comical than their intended candid rudeness in their original song.

I don't find lyrical works that try the shock-value card to be to my liking now. Eninem and others who can't manage to speak without guttural slurs flowing forth, make for a poor conversationalist as well as a poor character. Themes of rape, drugs, violence ... hmmm ... nothing else. If you have only hate ... then that's all you have.

Here's a great little idea ... replace the sick dialogue from South Park with a new, "clean" dialogue.

movie credits help make decissions

I saw the opening credits for a movie, then I saw ...

Music by

Bon Jovi

The movie was Young Guns, which I saw when it was new. I thought it was okay at the time, but I've not seen it since. Bon Jovi I could do without.

Gouging and business as usual

AOL buys Time Warner. How is that possible? It was by using accounting practices of 2001/2 being allowed to list some losses assets. It was also by the fine judgment that such companies weren't/aren't monopolies and limitations shouldn't be applied. Moreover, if you spoke with anyone who used the system, some paid up to $26 monthly. Now the same company is offering $10 monthly. Okay, so you were gouging a customer for months or years, now the rate is less than half of what it was. Hmmm .... how might that be possible?

Comcast, in Indiana, is now battling a competitor -- Verizon. They have "evils of communications companies" ads, stating that rates will go up. That's a funny statement from a company that raises rates annually like a raise to the company. Your monthly bill was $45, now $52, next $60, to cover costs, like ... our attempts to buy Disney and other companies.

Natural gas companies claiming that, there was an electrical storm in Beijing ... therefore, we have to raise rates of natural gas pumped from Kentucky. There is a rise in consuption, there must be a rise in price. There is a drop in consuption, there must be a price hike. There is no change in the gas or consumption, the company has chosen to raise the price.

We're a restaurant that' competing for your business. Our decor is ... flashy -- cool, though unchanged for 12-15 years ... Applebees. Our menu is neat ... slightly changed, though the prices rise twice a year, unlike many salaries.

Firing Banks ... NBD, BANK1, CHASE, J P Morgan ... what next? Patrons finally get checks, cards and info with the name [your bank here], when the new bank takes over, so then you wait. How about NFL (Not For Long)

You don't have enough in your account -- there's a surcharge for that. You don't use your account often enough --- there's a surcharge for that. You transfered money from account to account ... there's a surchage for that. The bank claims that it costs money to do that? Really. There's some person behind a desk typing all of that and not a computer doing it? What's that you say ... the bank has to make money? Like that bank doesn't make money on investments abroad on your money that you have there. Right.

Lies, lies, lies ... those who covet money are forever seeking ... much like a movie that I didn't think was worth the hype, Pirates of the Carribean. Two guys who parade around get women's attention. Keira Knightley is very cute, but was not in the most alluring in the show as she was allowed to be. She might show more shoulder in the next movie.

Also gouging, the movie industry ... pay lots for a so-so movie and furthermore be subjected to previews and advertisments well before the movie and then have those same ads inappropriate for the audience. How do ads for kids toys make sense in front of Saw 3 or adult-themed ads in front of Curious George? Do people understand their audiences or anything?

* in addtion to this, I would say that a Disney movie that they hope to be a new classic, should be non-pronographic.

America's Favorite insurance scam

I predict that later the insurance agencies will pay for this show, however not advertise this fact. It would be of interest to them to find out claimants who are on this show. Should they be able to get the names and addresses of persons in the videos? Moreover, some videos win as viewer favorites. Entrants who win money, should they be penalized for insurance claims?

One. If a claimant did not fraudulently fill out any paperwork prior to the incident, should the person be considered in violation of any law?

Two. Having filed the paperwork correctly, not directly violating the terms, but causing self-inflicted injuries through recklessness and stupidity, is the the claimant entitled to the full insured value?

Three. Should the claimant be able to justly win the moneyas a contestant despite the relatively dubious account of the injuries (losses to persons or property)?

Legally, the person claiming that s/he can't fully work as previously, shouldn't benefit financially twice. As a counterpoint, there shouldn't be a Big Brother accessing everything. In the US where wire-tapping is legal to prevent terrorism. Changing limitations opens things up to new difficulties, including insurance companies having even greater power than they have now. I certainly don't want that!

Insurance companies were able to avoid paying out to family and businesses in NY, NY on Sept. 11 and during natural disasters. The government protects them, and not just this administration --- decades of protection, where money goes government is fed.

^---- Wow; no segway led up to that, eh?
