How wonderful it must be

To be a cheerleader.

Think about it:

1) Because they are cheerleaders, all they had to do was allow Fern into their ranks to get the guns cheap.

2) Because they are cheerleaders, they had something to bargain with for Lisa's help after being arrested.

3) Because they are cheerleaders, they had the acrobatic training to blot out the security camera (and be confused with Chinese acrobats).

(Mind you, I think this is one of the main points of the movie)

I'm quite a lovely person - apart from my terrible taste in pie.

don't forget
they get to be prom queen
they get to date the QB
they get to be trophy wives
they can give a cute look, play dumb and get out of tickets/ arrests
the IRS never audits them
they can offer sex for anything straight up
they work out and are not expected to be smart just skinny
they get to wear uniforms to school
people cheer with them
they can run faster then the QB - did anyone see that?
their parents love them - until they get pregnant
they have a built in team of friends
grandma makes them cookies - no body makes me cookies!
they can get into prison and everybody will talk to them
the FBI doesn't even consider them suspects
they can steal from the lunch lady and its cute - again not suspects
underwear optional - a boy can dream
sleepovers even at 17 - PILLOW FIGHT!
only need to buy one box of tampons
sworn enemies become friends just by association
flexible!

woo that's all I got. This movie was funny I'm not sure why more people didn't like it.

I think we mean both but with the movie in mind. After all how silly is a movie about bank robbing chearleaders... though I read that it is based on a story in Texas. I think people rip on football players for being idiot too but they have to work just as hard learning plays. Point is, we are making a list of jokes. You can ad to the list or discount it completely but don't get all high and mighty. You can defend chearleaders by being an shining example not by crushing our lame attempt at comedy.

if your just writing the lists as a joke then you dont even know because it is hard being a cheerleader. at least a decent one. i have been cheering for 5 years and i work out 5 times a week and i stretch every day. not all cheerleaders are ditzy. in fact none of the girls on my squad are. on my squad you have to have really goods grades. even a C is bad. cheering takes strengh, dedication, and hard work. you have to be fit and ready to work. i even got in an argument with one of my friends on whether or not cheer is a sport. OF COARSE ITS A SPORT!!!!!!. she plays basketball and thinks cheering is stupid. i'd like to see her try to do all the stuff that we do. we tumble, lift girls into the air, we compete, we cheer, we do motion technique, and we have the passion for it.

Cheerleader are so F*ing smart. They keep writing this board to tell everyone so we believe them, wow! If you'd read the list you see 95% of the jokes are directly related to the movie and its silly link to cheerleaders. This could be a group of gymnasts or flying trampees artists and it would still be silly but at least gymnasts and carnies can read!

I was a wrestler in HS and people said we must all be gay, but I don't go posting on the Vision Quest board about how straight I am? Its a joke, you either laugh or don't, it not up for a debate.

oh no. cheerleaders? cheerleaders don't do half the work that a color guard puts into anything. i mean, yeah, ooh give the cheerleaders all the credit. the hardest thing they do is, what? a pyramid? oh no! what will we ever do?! I swear, if a cheerleader spend one day in the life of a guard girl they would absolutely die. and don't think I'm just trying to "diss" cheerleaders, either because many of my friends are cheerleaders. I'm just saying that they complain about work? Let them see what we do.

Color gaurd must be so easy compared to cheerleading, but yet cheerleading is the number one sport to cause injuries tied with football. LMAO.

Poison Girl, yeah, some cheerleaders wouldn't make it all the way through your color gaurd practice, but most of them would. I know I would make it. How do you think we get our stunts to look easy?, countless days of practicing over and over. We do conditioning things too, we lift weights (at least my team does) and have different workouts for specific areas of our bodies. Pyramids are easy, fyi. We go to comps just like you guys do. I'd like to see you try and lift a person in the air non stop for 3 minutes straight while yelling, dancing, tumbling and doing it all with a smile. I think you should see what cheerleaders do.
