It's got a great review from Werner Herzog! There is no greater endorsement.

Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Since you have not read "Anarchy State and Utopia" (Nozick 1974)* nor "A Theory of Justice" (Rawls 1971)* it would not be reasonable to think you were au courant with all culturally significant works and thus might enjoy hearing about something like this.

* Two of the most important works in political theory of the past 40 years.

This sounds like a remake of a Simpson's episode. When they went to Australia, Bart brought his frog and left it in a fountain near the airport; by the time they left the entire country was overrun with frogs. Art imitating satire imitating history. The cycle continues. But why they need an animated toad for this film is beyond me.

Ah yes, political theory, (which everyone should have read,) and that whole cane toad thing, why didn't anyone else see that connection?

What a stupid little turd you are rubato. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well now, that is disappointing...

It has been obvious to me that rube has been struggling mightily over the past several weeks to attempt to do an impersonation of a decent human being...(An effort brought on no doubt, by the upbraiding he received from folks he wasn't used to being singled out by, regarding oldr...)

Consequently, he has tried very hard, to act like a normal, rational, civil person...

(He ought to be given props, frankly; this time he managed to get as far as two weeks, which is something of a record for him; in his previous attempts to do an impersonation of a normal, civil human being, he has never managed to get past three days... )

Of course though, he has fallen short...

It's rather like a dog walking on two legs...

Sure he can do it for a while, but he can't keep it up for long, because that's not how the animal is built... 8-)

When I was a little girl and I was being naughty, my dad would say "Shut the bloody hell up woman or I'll take you to an Australian movie". Needless to say, I went very quiet.
