I am guessing you have never seen the full length movie? I would suggest you check out the movie without commercial breaks of cuts.

We've heard from Karl_Marks thinks. Now we can only hope that Vladimir_Lennon or maybe Mao Tse_Tongue will tell us what they thinks of it next.

Do you think he wants some cheese?

Aside from the fact that he didn't have anybody but a grandmother with dementia raising him, he might have been mildly autistic or something.

reply

Aids. I'm pretty sure it was aids.

reply

Naivety and pure innocence. The kid had a heart of gold and could not see the bad in people. Even though this movie is supposed to be a dark comedy, this movie breaks me down because of how sweet this kid is and I feel so bad for him.

reply

In the sequel, Therman himself, says he's on the spectrum

reply

Which is kind of funny because the Therman character would never say that he would have just said the kid was retarded... wouldn't have said he was mildly retarded or anything to dress it up... although he might have just said the kid was fucking retarded.

A combination of autism, a dysfunctional family, and a personality type that is highly placid, open and curious.
