Fucking Republicans buying tickets for other movies, and sneaking
in to see Moore's movie:

Lynda Bond, 47, a fervent Republican whose husband is an elected official, came mainly to confirm that the incendiary movie was nothing but a string of lies.

"I wanted to see it to understand what everyone was talking about," Bond said. "It is extremely misleading. I bought a ticket for another movie and then came to see this one. I wouldn't give Michael Moore my money.


make sure you rate the story:

1. 4.00 out of 5
That's the highest-ranked story I've seen since I started observing the ratings. Thanks to everyone here for pointing out the relevance of news story ratings.

44. What is the relevance?
And what are people rating - clarity, importance, ...?

2. In some theaters
They are double checking tickets. They tear your ticket and then check it again when you get to the actual screening room.

Anyone know who her husband is? If so, write a letter to the editor of the paper and point out that she snook into a movie. It is small, but it might become an issue in the local paper.

5. That makes her either a liar or a thief!!
If she really bought a ticket for F911 she is a liar.

If she bought a ticket to see another movie and snuck into F911 she is a thief...she stole a seat from someone who DID pay to see F911 and she stole the proceeds (royalties?) from all who gain from ticket sales on F911.

9. Maybe it'll get their heads out of their, oh you know where!
Mike doesn't care about the $$$, only the truth.

It' the ignorant repubes that are thinking they will hurt him due to their severe materialism.

And there may be some eyes opened, if we're very lucky.

16. Why? Why didn't you just buy a ticket for the Passion?
If you didn't want to support Gibson, why go see his stuipd movie at all?

Shouldn't this read: Lynda Bond sought to confirm her opinion that the incendiary movie was nothing but a string of lies?

19. There's alot more where that came from
I love how she's a "fervent" republican but farther down
in the article another person is a "self-confessed" liberal. :spank:


It's become a hobby of mine to pick up on these things.
Needless to say, it takes up a great deal of my time.

This hobby is almost identical to hitting oneself over

hoping it won't hurt this time.

However, I just can't seem to stop. :hi:

13. O'Reilly was encouraging this on his radio show
He was telling callers who didn't want to pay to do the "Multiplex mambo", only to quickly add that he was joking. That's his new tactic, claim everything's a joke so he can bash liberals for having no sense of humor when they call him on it.

14. She thinks the movie is misleading?
Buying a ticket and sneaking into another movie is misleading too. So is starting a war based on lies.

They were checking everyone's ticket stubs right before we went into the theater which is something the theaters in my area don't normally do. Too bad they didn't catch her and kick her butt out.

15. So, his ratings should actually be higher than the officially released
number.

I think it is great that Republicans are watching it. On the other hand, they should pay for it. I really think they should screen tickets better.

The GOP way: Lying, cheating, and stealing. Republicans are as dishonest as the man they've voted for.

21. Rating down to 3.94
I post on another board with a bunch of Freepers and less offensive Pubs. None of them will even bother to see the movie, but bash with fervent abandon at the slightest opportunity.

22. Maybe it isn't a bad thing. I know it cheats Michael, but it also
means that they will see the movie and the movie could be the catalyst that makes the scales of RW propaganda fall from their eyes.

37. I'm sure MM doesn't care
As long as people see the movie.

I recently heard an interview in which he said he didn't mind file sharing, just as long as people don't profit from selling bootlegs of his films.

A few hundred tickets won't hurt him.

24. They doublechecked ticket stubs at the theater door in Austin.
I don't know how long they stood out there but since the theater was sold out, it made it a little more difficult for someone to sneak in.

30. Boy is that one getting freeped.

I posted a response, but there were DOZENS of "bad film/bad film-maker" posts urging people not to see it. Glad I don't hang out at yahoo boards because they seem to be freeper heaven.

32. They couldn't do that at the theater I went to.
The theater posted employees outside the cinema showing F911 and checked tickets going in and out of the show.

Good for them

Could this be her? They married in 2002 after he divorced his first wife Carolyn Reid Bond.
LOLOLOL.............. please let it be so! The article says she is 47, which looks about right from this picture....she is the one in the middle.

The other movies are put out by very liberal film studios.

I hope they buy tickets to Shrek 2, which is put out by Dreamworks, whose owners (especially Spielberg and Geffen) are perhaps the most left-leaning people in Hollywood.

HA HA!

40. They can't do that here
The only theatre in Fayetteville that's showing it is the Cameo Art House Theatre downtown, and it only has one screen.

We're about overrun with freepers and you couldn't pry your way into that place with a crowbar.
