F9-11 censored in Willimantic CONNECTICUT
I posted this in the state forum but thought DUers everywhere could call

This asshole should probably be fired (but like most americans is kept in the dark and fed shit like a mushroom by the Bushzis. Too pitifu;)

1. seventhson, if this doesn't get much attention this time out
maybe it would be a good idea to repost in GD sometime early tomorrow morning. You will get more attention and if I know evilDUers, the manager of the Willimantic Movieplex 6 will get so many phone calls and nasty-grams that half his staff will quit because they will get tired of having to take the calls (and flack) for his sorry ass.

Just an idea :thumbsup:

hope the little bully gets his ass fired

"F-9/11" is now listed on the marquee. Looks like the good guys won! :bounce:
