If i wanted to be dramatic i'd say that i have on idea why this guy is on television (the first and last time i saw him by accident i thought there was a transmission error that turned image on my telly to ultimate s**t, or that my tv was malfunctioning), but unfortunately i do know. At any rate i've read so many depressing news stories already today that this one lifted my spirits a bit.

If this village is living in grinding MittelEuropean poverty, how did they get to see the film? Is it even being aired there? To me it's just the whining of people who sold their dignity and now realise they did it too cheaply.

:roll: Good comedy always comes at a cost. Look at Last Of The Summer Wine. They entire cast have made a living out of acting like c**t.

So someone comes up to you and asks "'Scuse me, but do you mind if I put this cow in your living room for a fiver?" Once you take the cash, you lose the right to complain.

Actually, I think that is pretty rank.

Hate to agree with the Daily Mail... but there's a first time for everything I guess. I am getting older.

If the Daily Mail story is true then it's a bit dodgy, although as EvilBastard said, they were happy enough to take the cash.

However, any sentence starting "If the Daily Mail story is true..." is not built on firm ground!

It could be that the Daily Mail reporter has convinced them that if they make a fuss they might be onto a good little earner. Wouldn't put anything past a 'newspaper' that supported Hitler in the 30s...

What do you mean, "in the 30's"... :innocent:

I'd take his highly informed and incisive political satire (he's a Jew with a degree in international diplomacy, go figure) over vacuous pseudo-philosophy any day :roll:

Doesn't change the fact that he's majorly fucked up here of course, if that was a cloven hoof I just saw passing my window. Or, if in all actuality the Mail are being entirely honest. I know which I'm more inclined to believe :|
