Bwa-ha-ha-ha! Farenhype 9/11 selling for $1 on Overstock.com!
Just goes to show you what ideas AREN'T being sold well today. When a site like Overstock.com is having to "dump" this title at $1 apiece, that just shows you that it's values aren't what America feels today! Hope the guys making this DVD are losing their shirts on this one! It'll also teach DVD shops not to stock such trash! :)

Check it out!

4. The guy who started Overstock.com
is a big repuke and the one who is pushing the 65% solution for school financing. THAT is a joke and is NOT what is best for kids.

So I boycott Overstock.com

Avoid them like the plague.

5. Wasn't it a cheaply made, strung together piece of shit to start with?
I wouldn't even look at it out of curiosity, and perhaps the only use for the DVD might be as a coaster for a leaky beer mug, or a portable pooper scooper for an incontinent shitz tzu....but not at that price!!!

22. People in my family are a bit sensitive...
...especially since my sister has a coprophagic mal-tzu (maltese/shih tzu mix) that neighborhood dogs tease by calling him "shit-chew."

23. I remember it was available for free download somewhere. That was the only
reason that I bothered to take a look at it. It was really bad, it wasn't even funny bad. Ron Silver was the main narrator.

6. Yep, the other day, I heard they had a WHOLE BUNCH of that crap
to get rid of. Read that on a discounts & coupons list I frequent. Most of the people there felt the same way!

7. The reviews are pretty funny
Reviewer: Joe from Kenner, LA
I am impressed by the five star review two weeks before this film has even been released! Imagine the raves once people see it. Just as my video tapes of the Republican convention were wearing out, along comes this breath of fresh air. Thank you Overstock.

Reviewer: Objective Watchdog from New York, NY USA
I will love it! I will find this film compelling and accurate-- the way I would not have found Moore's film, if I had seen it. I will recommend this film to anyone!

19. I can't decide who's more subtle, Joe, or Objective Watchdog
It's obvious Joe's tongue is in his cheek, but I can easily imagine Objective Watchdog's comment on Free Republic--a testament to his/her subtlety, if subtlety it is.

Speaking of Overstock.com--I won't buy from them any more not only because the founder is a Republican but because the one time I tried to buy books from them--saving a lousy $1.50 over Amazon--it ended up costing me money (their site said they had a book in stock, I ordered it with others to get the free shipping, but they didn't have it after all. They didn't tell me, so I didn't get the free shipping, and the book is still listed on their site as being available). Their customer service is literally nonexistent (I NEVER write an angry letter of complaint; I'm a firm believer in catching flies with honey, having dealt with complaining customers in past jobs) and they never answered either of my two extremely polite e-mails. (One of them was just to ask whether they were going to send the book to me after all or whether I could go ahead and buy it somewhere else. It would have been civil of them to let me know.) Fool me once, Overstock.com, shame on you. Fool me twice, I won't get fooled again.

8. Not surprising. You should see the bargain bin at Barnes & Noble.
Get yer rightwing books by Savage, Goldberg, Coulter, etc. for a dollar... there's plenty of copies available for the ignoramus in your household.

18. "Customers who bought this DVD often bought
Calender Girls, The History of Rock and Roll Vol. 4 and Coffee & Cigarettes(DVD)." Meanwhile, advertised right next to it is the very high quality film, March of the Penguins, selling for $16.79. But of course MOTP is a wonderful movie, while -hype is plain, pure propagandist bullshit.

28. For your schadenfreude: "THe Book of my Enemy Has Been Remaindered"
by Clive James:

http://torch.cs.dal.ca/~johnston/poetry/bookofmyenemy.html

It begins:

"The book of my enemy has been remaindered
And I am pleased.
In vast quantities it has been remaindered
Like a van-load of counterfeit that has been seized
And sits in piles in a police warehouse,
My enemy's much-prized effort sits in piles
In the kind of bookshop where remaindering occurs.
Great, square stacks of rejected books and, between them, aisles
One passes down reflecting on life's vanities,
Pausing to remember all those thoughtful reviews
Lavished to no avail upon one's enemy's book --
For behold, here is that book
Among these ranks and banks of duds,
These ponderous and seeminly irreducible cairns
Of complete stiffs.


The book of my enemy has been remaindered
And I rejoice..."

w00t,

The Plaid Adder
