2. Thanks! I guess I am the latest victim of the Larry King Myth:

If they're on Larry King, their Trash Movie will be that Sunday

I will mark my calendar for November 9th,

This one looks like a 2 BigCookieBag event

5. I hope you'll understand that I can't respond to your insult

Please don't take it personally, it is just my personal preference, no value judgment intended.

While I'm not able to respond to ad hom attacks, what I can tell you is that it is hardly insulting to the girl to refer to a made for tv movie about her as trash.

It is my understanding that the girl is a minor, and as such I would not hold her responsible for making the movie.

Do you?

7. Well, you didn't phrase it too well...

Your subject heading made it seem like you were calling Elizabeth Smart, not the film, "Badtrash."

8. Adjectives modify nouns. Doesnt English put them before the noun modified?

If I had wanted to insult her, which I don't, wouldn't I have put an adjective before her name?

Badtrash is an adjective that refers to movies. My question concerns a movie, so I put the adjective before the noun "movie."

I believe this is correct syntax.

It would make no sense to call her any adjective, she is a kid.

9. Sometimes yes, sometimes no...

Look around this board enough, and you'll find derogatory comments about famous people added to the ends of their names often enough.

And, while I agree that it would be despicable to insult a young girl who had been through a horrendous ordeal, I fear I've seen enough callousness on this board that I wouldn't be too surprised to see someone direct insults against an apparently straight-laced teen from a well-off, suburban, Mormon (and thus almost certainly conservative Republican) family. I mean, we've all seen some of the venom directed against Jenna Bush on this board, which I doubt you'd see if, say, Howard Dean had a daughter who behaved in the same way.

And, by the way, I've never seen "Badtrash" (as a single word) used as an adjective for anything. My initial thought was that you were appending it as a new, additional name for the girl, and that it's meaning was something like "white trash."

4. Trash?

What makes it trash?

6. Its a made for tv movie about a sensational news story about a blond teen

How could it be anything but trash?

Sunday night trash movies are a proud American tradition, and I reserve the right to both watch and condemn them.
