Theo Robertson from Isle Of Bute , Scotland


This person posted a review of the movie and I doubt he even saw it.
Most likely he owns a McDonald franchise and wants to keep getting rich while poisoning his fellow man.

Theo, watch the movie before you comment on it.
They mention why they protested McDogballs and not the other chains.
And if you own a franchise do the world a favor and burn it to the ground.

Hi from nickbadseed, The worst review i have seen on imdb! obviously thinks everyone is like himself.

reply

That was the stupidest review of a movie I have ever read. He just goes out of his way to disagree with everything.

I'm sorry but His review is perfectly fair. He is entitled to an opinion, and expresses his opinion clearly and in good english. What you choose to believe is one thing but his review can not be said to be 'stupid'. Please give some more consideration to people, they do not all agree in the same things as you do.

Dont be sorry, are you not missing the point! message boards are to express an opinion, thats what is happening here, but if he puts this kind of stuff on here,"if someone is paid to flip burgers and clean tables then why should they be encouraged to have a creative side ? If it's creativity they wanted maybe the could have joined the Lee Strasburg Acting School" well he is asking for trouble, if anyone thinks that everyone is free to follow their dreams then he is stupid.

There's not much to do on the Isle of Bute - I guess trolling internet forums passes the days between crofting and making sexy with the sheep.

Oh cruel words . What cruel cruel words . Psass the razor blades

The fact that I'm not going to run to the admin whining that people have been using words as weapons probably says how much I respect free speech

Yes I did see the documentary Tsuanami3G . I can't remember it word for word though so forgive me for that

Worst review Nick ? Some of the reviews submitted to this site are TWO lines long . They make Leonard Maltin look like Tolstoy . I suggest they're worse than anything I've written

Yes Harvey people are allowed to disagree with something . It's the one thing I do like about living in a democracy . As Owen correctly said the IMDb is a site where disagreeing or praising a film/ tv show / video game is to be encouraged . Heaven forbid someone displaying sycophantic blindness to a mere documentary

Sorry I don't live up to the stereotypical Scottish Islander Marlowe but I have never worked as a crofter , nor have I had sex woth a sheep . There's only one place for an animal and it's not a bed - it's a plated shared with some vegetables

Anyway MCLIBEL :

Isn't the reason London is the libel capital of the world because its libel laws are so laughably bizarre . It's not a court of justice - it's a circus . Fugitive Roman Polanski , living in France sued an American magazine , Vanity Fair in a London court in 2005 where he didn't even have to appear in case he got extradited to the USA where he had been found guilty of a sexual assualt . Not only did he not have to appear but he was awarded £50,000 by the court because Vanity Fair alleged on the way to his wife's funeral in 1969 he told a pretty blonde model he could " make her the next Sharon Tate " . Obviously this blatently untruthful piece of charachter assasination ruined poor old Polanski's life . No doubt it's the worst thing he's ever had to endure . I'm sure no one begrudges him a single penny of the 50 grand

Likewise London was the preferred venue of choice for David Irving sueing Deborah Lipstadt who accused him of being a holocuast denier . Why it even went to court I'll never know . Since the 1970s books by Irving have been rubbished by every historian on the planet . He had attended and publically spoken at Neo-Nazi rallies all over the world that far more innocent Germans were killed in allied air bombings than were ever killed in Nazi concentration camps . More Boers died in British captivity during the Boer than Jews and Slavs died in the German concentration camp system he'd claim . The concentration camps didn't even have gas chambers according to Irving . Lipstadt is hurting my feelings calling me all those bad words he claimed . That's why he went to court to clear his name and to prove the Nazis were misunderstood , they weren't bad people he said , because the RAF and American air force have more innocent blood on their hands than the Nazis ever did . Well it's his time and money he's wasting and he lost the case and ended up bankrupt . That's what happens if the rest of the world is right and you're wrong . Still amazing it managed to end up in a legal court though since everyone knew Irving was a holocaust denier

Interesting fact about Nazi Germany - they banned vivisection with Hitler himself being vegeterian and a famous lover of animals . Many of the Nazis hated Goering because he liked to go hunting . Gassing human beings isn't as bad as shooting fluffy mammals . Hey just sounds like a large number of environmentalists doesn't it ?

Anyway back to McLibel

Didn't Helen Steel and David Morris lose the first case in 1997 ? That's right they appealed didn't they ? And the court still took McDonalds side in 1999 . Oh hold Steel and Morris had a final place of recourse - The European Court Of Human Rights , a place better known for protecting the human rights of people who it's difficult to describe as human . People who are in jail for interferring with kids and who have to poo in a bucket . Thee poor things , or people who can't be deported to other countries even if they're wanted for mass murder because thier " human rights " take precedence over justice . I wonder what good a European Court Of Human Rights might have done for Anne Frank if it'd been around in the 1940s ? What chance would she have had at the hands of the Nazis ? Slim or none - and Slim left town a long time ago . Let's not pretend a bunch of Eurocrats are interested in justice

I do admire Steel and Morris's tenacity however . It must take a lot of courage and intellect appearing in court everyday . David vs Goliath , just like the people in the dock of the Nuremberg war trials , or Slobodan Milosevic at the Hague , or Saddam Hussain at the Iraqi Special Tribunal . You really got to admire people who spend much of their lives stuck in a court room . I wish I had such idealism but instead have wasted my life working or looking for a job or going on holiday or visiting cinemas or a hundred other things most normal rational people would recognise

Right so if you'll forgive me i'll log off and put a piece of burnt dead pig between two slices of bread

YUUUUUUUUUM YUUUUUUUUM
