So I go to the movies to get away from reality, and I see an ad for a Glenn Beck show.

[Bleacher Creature]

Right before the previews. Totally and completely offensive.

Anyone else see what I am talking about? It was at a Regal.

1. I saw that too - supposedly Glenn Beck is doing a live broadcast comedy routine?!?

Somebody is out of their fucking minds. Glenn Beck doing a standup routine? That guy is about as funny as burning kittens.

To me the ad felt like a sick joke. I almost want to go to see what kind of dipshits would actually go to watch a Glenn Beck "comedy" show.

What's the punchline, "kill all socialists"?

2. I think I would vomit.

I really hate being held captive before the movie starts by those commercials. I make it a point never

to patronize any of the places or products advertised this way.

3. Regal is a Republican outfit - I refuse to go to their over-priced cinemas.

I saw all kinds of Republican ads years back and complained about it, but the flunky "manager" just shrugged and said "They put on what they want!"

We have a very nice, old and quaint theater that gets the movies about a month after they hit the $8+ theaters. They charge $2 per person and for $4 you get a HUGE fucking bag of popcorn with a free refill! The five of us have never even finished one bag of it. $14 for five people isn't bad!

4. Beck is EVERYWHERE. We have "Fox Gremlins" at my gym

The last thing I want to think about is politics while I am working out, especially as filtered through Beck, Hannity, etc.

We have a few guys who turn all the sets in the lockeroom to Fox just to make sure we get a good dose of "Reality".

Beck was doing another expose of the all powerful ACORN!!!!

I turned everything back to ESPN. Who needs the stress?

6. TVs in a freakin' locker room?

We're that *wired* that we can't go a few minutes (longer with shower...) without TV? After a good workout the last thing I'd want to see is Glenn Beck's doughy mug (not that I'd want to see it any other time, either).

5. did you BOO?

I'm not shy, I would.

Maybe in Texas I'd hiss.

7. What did you expect?

You wanted to get away from reality, and Beck is about as far from reality as one can get.

[Cha]

8. I would certainly voice my

Displeasure on the way out.

[ejpoeta]

9. you know, it's one thing to see previews for movies before the movie....

but the idea that i would have to see friggin commercials when i have just paid to see a movie just ticks me off. i would complain.

10. I saw that preview during "Star Trek" on Saturday.
