I love how this movie subtly makes fun of liberals


With all the pro-environment tree huggers and the principal saying " I am one gay black kid getting punched in the face away from a nervous breakdown."

If you consider that "making fun of liberals" you're Fox-brainwashed beyond repair.

Talking about being brainwashed, getting in the obligatory "Fox news" reference when responding to someone your liberal ass doesn't agree with.

Oh, cute :)

I wouldn't call it subtle. When they first meet Franco, they mention his car smells like egg rolls, and he says something like, "it runs off rice oil from Hunan Palace, but we ride bikes when we can...global crisis and what not."

The thing is, most liberals have sense of humor, so we can laugh at it too. Try that with showing conservatives something making fun of the gun nut extremes of the Right Wing.

That wasn't the point of the joke though. The punchline is that everything has flip flopped - what used to be nerdy/uncool is now what the popular crew does. And now the cool kid is the outcast and the nerd is the popular one. It's not a joke on liberals, it's a joke on how what's cool changes mostly.
