10. I think there was a lot of talk about fucking people over and what not.

23. It's one of the most obscene and pornographic stories ever told.
It's almost as obscene as people in America going broke and homeless due to medical bills while our military budget is $420 billion per year (plus supplementals).

25. Suprised it isn't NC-17
Any film about Enron has to be a porno flick. They fucked everybody.
