Who wants to mock some Mel Gibson spam?
In the latest illustration of how pathetic right-wingnuts can be, somebody has set up some kind of automated comment-bot on LiveJournal that goes around leaving comments in which some supposed person named 'Kyle' just casually mentions that he's heading off to see *The Passion,* which is the best movie ever, and that all the people protesting it are jerks, and here's a few links about that, and what do you think of all this?

I thought about deleting this spam, but I left it up hoping some people might get a kick out of 'responding' to it. Here it is:

Enjoy,

2. For the lazy, here's the actual spam:
"The Passion of The Christ is in theaters soon - this week on Wednesday.. what do you think about this movie? I'm going to see it for sure - the trailers were enough to convince me. I read somewhere that it's the widest opening ever for a subtitled movie; I have a feeling subtitles won't detract from the full effect of this movie though. After looking at the trailers which have no subtitles or english at all, it was reinforced for me that lack of spoken english in this film won't hurt one bit. To sum up my impression of The Passion: it's a work of art.
Good Website
Another fascinating aspect to this movie is all the controversy that has been generated about it.
Some people, not really representative of Jewish people, but rather self appointed Jewish spokespeople, such as Abraham Foxman from the Anti-Defamation League, seem to have been attempting to denounce this film for months as being anti-Semitic. The news reported that they even stole the script last year! But here's what some Jews say (Jews who don't make it their job to tear apart other people): Protesting Gibson's Passion Lacks Moral Legitimacy by Rabbi Daniel Lapin.

Nice to see some people speaking rationally.

So what do you think of all this?

*** Kyle"

Bleagh,

The Plaid Adder
