File a complaint!


Contacted me on my emergency cell phone at 7:12 AM.

Since this phone only rings for emergencies, and it was relatively early in the AM, I was *very* angry to find out it was a telemarketing call.

Why would they have your number?

All that over a telemarketing phone call you are one of them types who sued macdonalds for burning your mouth on a cup of coffee.

Another yank trying to scrounge an easy buck!

So what anyway i get them phone calls all the time and don't act like a pussy over it!

Did i mention that i'm very happy for you and your achievement?

Anyway liked the movie great for the family.

I don't often reply to the nonsense posted on imdb, but this drivel was too much to pass up. While I doubt very much making as big a deal out of this as the OP is will serve any purpose beyond the riling of the occasional trailer park dwelling, mutant, I sincerely found this equally moronic reply to posses a certain je ne sais quoi that I could barely resist.

mickey_blue1976: While hating Americans and referring to us as yanks as you insult us for "trying to scrounge an easy buck," you manage to accomplish two very impressive feats. First, you successfully lumped over 300 million people into a category of slovenly parasites who look for nothing more than to live off someone else's dime. While America may have its fair share of fiscal leeches, I would like to point out the mild socialism existing in the UK as a case-in-point. If most American's are trying to scrounge an easy buck, well, my friend, we learned from the best, our fore bearers. This isn't even to mention the fact that the OP NEVER even MENTIONED suing anyone.

Secondly, you have completed the stunning accomplishment of making your fellow Europeans sound like a pack of sniveling, bourgeois cry-babies with nothing better to do than insult 300 million+ people whom you've never met.

Congratulations... You're an idiot.

Good day.

i wanted to respond to this too... but you did it so much better.
Its funny i am part of said american lump although I was born in Russia, moved to US (NY) when i was 11, studied my BA in England, London specifically, and then returned to NY and am utterly part of the lump.
You want to know something? Most parts of england are actually worse than many many many trailer parks here. Parents hate their kids, half the populus is on meth and heroin, with missing teeth, the teenagers kill people daily...using guns...which the police cant use because there is no right to this sort of weaponry even for the enforces of the law, and every neighbour has some form of issues injunction issues against another neighbour... ASBOs - Anti Social Behaviour Order. Oh and believe there are plenty a law suit around, except to boot there is a sh-tload of racism and sickly nationalism that goes untouched.... most people there are still riding their "we once ruled most of the world...you lowly thing dont belong in my country" horse... its quite phenomenal....
but yeah to make it short, thank you for being more concise and better versed than i would have been in responding to -prick-
also i give a sh-t about my sleep, some people are insomniacs and being awoken in the middle of the night is a terrible thing for them. so i can understand being pissed of but what the hell was the original post actually about, aside from some telemarketer waking him up how does it relate to this film??

It's relevant to this film because they rung him to convince him to see this movie. A cellphone is for the owners convenience not every one elses!

At least in this country cellphone calls are expensive so telemarketers tend to only harrass land lines, which i don't have because i never use it. but big ups to the OP for knowing who to get in touch with to lay a complaint!

reply

I agree with this person. and don't feel that he is wrong for submitting a complaint over this.

Wow more *beep* mental yanks. Your general view of the UK and the rest of Europe is generally accepted in educated parts of the world as being slightly retarded , strangely enough just like your replies.
