A review of Glenn Beck's "The Christmas Sweater"
:rofl: spoiler alert:rofl:


Glenn Beck starts crying almost immediately. Like, in his introductory comments. Like, very early in his introductory comments. Like, literally fifteen seconds into the show.


So this whole thing turns out to be a dream within a memoir, which he’s turned into a work of fiction, which he altered on his publishers’ advice, which he’s broadcasting himself live watching himself perform a year ago. And actually on a three-hour delay for us here on the West Coast. Jesus, now I’m starting to cry.

3. Glenn Beck's Christmas Sweater Live Broadcast: A Rude Review ... (Rude Pundit)
... Here's the worst part (yes, there is a worst part): The last segment of the evening was Beck showing us videos of the stories of people he says were "inspired" to face their "storms" by reading The Christmas Sweater or hearing Beck's voice ... But the fucking con job is completed in a sloppy way. For there's one other woman. She is there to illustrate getting past loss. See, one Christmas day, she, her husband, and their 3 year-old daughter were riding to the grandparents' house when they got in a collision with another car, killing the husband and little girl. The woman went through a long recovery, but she decided to live her life to the fullest, doing things her little girl loved, like learning to ride horses, and she devotes her life to rescued dogs. It's actually quite a lovely tale. What does Beck's book have to do with it? Fucking nothing. The accident happened in 1986 ... http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2009/12/glenn-becks-christmas-sweater-live.html

I wouldn't know about Glenn's movie except for DU. Would it be in the venue of Religious Comedy? or perhaps Fictional History.
