Forget comedy, think political activism.

I picked this film from my local video shop classed as a comedy and didn't laugh once. This did not make it a bad film. To me it was more a call to all the disaffected to rise above their tacit placid acceptance and act. Will we allow the purveyors of product and property to dictate the deterioration of life quality or will we do something about it?

In our city one man became so enraged by booming exhausts fitted with 'mufflers' designed to increase the car noise that he stood on a street corner with a placard suggesting "those who believed such 'mufflers' just proved the drivers had small penises" to honk their horns. Not surprisingly most people honked. Within a few months local ordinances of council allowed police to stop and require drivers of such cars to have the 'problem' rectified or be fined and the car impounded.

On a higher order of importance when WikiLeaks denounces American diplomats for the hypocrites they are (and we all knew anyway), the most the 'establishment can do is trump up sex crime charges in a vain attempt to plug the leak.

Activism has gotten a 'bad' name in the 21st century but not because it doesn't work, individuals continually become 'obsessed on their 'issue' and often achieve some success. The pervasive media brain-wash is that the indignities we experience are 'necessary' evils, why, because changing society for the good of it's citizens doesn't sell product, make happy robots, enforce authoritarian control.
