Believe it or not, but the funniest thing I've seen was from Bowling for
Columbine. It was the animation entitled "A Brief History of the United States." Shit, that was funny. And needed. The rest of the film, which came in the mail today and I just watched for the first time, isn't very funny. It's very very sad. That cartoon in the middle of the film was a stroke of genius.

2. He came SO close with that cartoon....
but he should have mentioned that gun control was all about disarming minorities. He beat around the bush, but didn't quite say it.

3. Quicktime vid of that cartoon here
30 M

I grabbed it when they showed it on Oprah back in March.

Now, anyone who hasn't seen it yet go rent it or buy it.

If someone tells you the whole movie is BS and shows you that hardylaw.net article "proving" why show them this http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/8/12/171427/607 in return.

Don't miss the flip side!
