It wasn't actually meant to have that strong of a political connotation
I don't think it's escapable for the most part. I haven't seen the movie myself, but my first thought was of the movie, and of Moore's views.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is even happening?
I thought of it, too, but I guess I thought because it was Tim's thread, it balanced it. Whatever. It just tickled me, so I shared.

I also thought of a bit of a "distraction" vibe, as we often venture into off-topic-land in this thread. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

I'm getting the pig!
Ah. That makes sense. Sadly, I didn't connect any of it to politics or Bush or Moore.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I don't think most people know much of anything about Tim's political leanings.
It was clever, though.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I haven't seen the movie myself, but my first thought was of the movie, and of Moore's views.
I'm feeling very dense. I didn't get the reference at all.

I don't think most people know much of anything about Tim's political leanings.
And that's pretty much why there's no reason to put a politically-meaningful quote (apparently, I still have no idea what may be political about it) as a thread name - this thread is about crafts and soaps (and, well, some tv shows), and none of them is political, so why connect it to anything political, regardless of opinions or leanings?
But I love it that "five" and "Drive" rhyme.
(Oh, and it was very interesting to skim this thread. But that's all the thoughts that I can form on it now.)
[Edited because even though I am at a no-thoughts-forming stage, I'm still not at the completely-can't-spell one.]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That gave me the image of some very disturbing knitting projects.

I didn't get the Bush/Moore thing at first. I love it! Please let it be that.
