Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It looks like they were an intramural team that last played in 2003 but still totally awesome.

Yeah, it was an intramural team. Intermural? The kind that only plays on campus.

On the other hand it was only recently that I found out "midget" is as bad a derogatory term as any.
When I read the headline yesterday about there being protests over the new Ben Stiller movie (called "Jungle...." something; I disremember), I assumed it was because Robert Downey Jr.'s character does the whole fake black thing. I didn't find out until this morning that it was over the whole "retard" thing that Ben Stiller's character does.
We saw a preview of it before TDK, and I think they left the "retard" thing out of the trailer, because I don't remember it at all.
It sounds like a dumb-ass movie all the way around, but the whole faking being retarded subplot seems extra dumb-ass, even for a Ben Stiller movie.
(Okay, I *love* Dodgeball. That Ben Stiller movie can stay.)

I can only judge satire after I've seen it. Some reviews I've seen said it's worthless and some said it's awesome satire. FWIW, I thought the Jack Black thing was the real issue, too. His character is sort of a Russell Crowe type who undergoes a "pigment augmentation" in order to play a black man.
Have these people NOT seen The Ringer???

No, that's Robert Downy Jr.'s character.

Not Robert Downey Jr.? I paid even less attention than I thought.

Ah, that's right! I've heard RDJ is really, really awesome. I'll probably see it. I sat through Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanimo Bay so I can probably stomach an awful lot of really bad movie.

That is so awesome! My siblings used to get into a fight over Chief Illiniwek (RIP) because sister said the half-time performance was a mockery of native american ritual and how would people feel if a sports team was called "the popes" and a guy in a white robe and a pointy hat came out on the field and did a mock mass. My brother said, "that would be great!"
Even better, they could have team called "the Vikings" with a guy dressed up in pseudo-Norse garb with a sword and stuff. That would be cool.
