Hunger Games ... 'Government is Bad.'

I'm no saint or wise man. I did try to explain the world to a friend today with out using real world explanations. It didn't go all that well.
My friend was talking about the Hunger Games books and movies. So I tried to steer the conversation to our cultural acceptance of violence by mentioning some of the worst killings in the books and movies. All are children. That seemed to go flying over his head.

So I asked if he knew the main theme of the story. 'Oh yeah. Government is bad.'

No. Violent rebellion against violent oppression creates more violent oppression by a new set of actors.

So he gave me that 'What the frack does that mean?' look so I explained.

The story was all about innocence. She, the main character, a 16 year old female, took up violence to protect her innocent little sister from violence. In the end, she couldn't stop the violence, couldn't protect innocence, and was back exactly where she started.
Her sister died. Innocence died. Nothing really changed but Dayum, we killed some people.

Chris Christie complicit in Jennifer Lawrence wardrobe malfunction

50 Shades of Grey, Batman!

Chris Christie's ex=campaign manager alleged today that Chris Christie bullied him into causing the Jennifer Lawrence wardrobe malfunction at last years SAG Awards.



We have all heard Jennifer tell Piers Anthony about being tripped by someone which caused the malfunction.

“My pants fell off!” said Jennifer, when Piers showed her the footage. “Somebody trips me on the way, I remember that,” she said while watching the video. “I’m keepin’ it together, keepin’ it together … and then my pants fall off! Yep! Oh, god.”

Secret emails are said to exist in which Goobernator Christie bullies some usher into tripping Lawrence.

"JeLa is going down. That chic films in Georgia. Now way I let her Hunger Games crew get away with that. Usher will trip her."

The plot did reveal some leg but that wasn't enough for the Chris Christie man.

"I want someone working the cones. Work the cones."

As we know, Lawrence did have a nip slip which satiated the need for revenge.



Let's be glad Lawrence wasn't filming in Gotham City.
