Well I got my laugh for the day, first by watching this video.  http://blip.tv/the-cinema-snob/beyond-the-darkness-buio-omega-by-the-cinema-snob-7164554

Then by visiting this IMDB page.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078916/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_dt_dt#akas

Check out the Mexican title of the movie.

Now that is a dedicated fan and also why you should never completely trust the info from a site that is edited by users.

Maybe I am just sick but I had a good laugh at that.

It easy to see why, the burgers are getting smaller and the prices are going up. The dollar menu is now full of smaller burgers and fries that cost at least $2, they are served luke warm, half the time the order is wrong, and every soda and juice you get from them is watered down. I stopped eating there when I got an orange juice that was nothing but water and orange colouring, it had no taste and they had the nerve to charge me over three bucks for it. I can get half a gallon of juice at the market for half that price. Also the price of a mean there now runs between $7-$11

What might be considered an acceptable price for meanness?

I only ever get the Filet O' Fish and an apple pie to go these days.

Sounds like it's time to impeach Mayor McCheese though. That bastard has run unopposed for decades, and he hired his brother to run the police dept. You don't want to get pulled over in McDonaldland, trust me. And heaven help you if they find a Whopper in your glove compartment!

Where were you in '77?

 I would be willing to pay $5-$6 for their meals but what they are charging for luke warm food(and this happens at every location I have been to in the past few years)and watered down soda is just insane.

I mean now it takes $4 to get the smallest burger and fries, that used to cost $2. So they have doubled their prices and made the burgers smaller, I really don't know why they are surprised people like me stopped eating there.

The only reason I ever ate there was because it was cheap, now that it is not cheap there is no reason to eat there.  They need to either increase the size of their food or lower prices.

Maybe it didn't but I have no idea what question he was asking then. 

Sorry, I know I am an idiot but I answered the question I thought he asked.

Read the question again.  Look for the typo in your post that prompted the question.

I’d cheat the Christians blind and suck their blood.
To serve as emperor I might agree,

of course with mother I would do the same.

Yeah I am not sure what he said that is racist.  it seems like in one case he was talking about a particular film crew he was working with and in the other he was just saying that everyone there got the runs, that doesn't strike me as clan level racism.

I mean it would be like if he came to Delaware and he made a joke about everyone's last name being Yoder and working on a chicken farm. I would be upset about it, I would laugh.

Remember this is the same network that lets the star of a children's show make cheap jokes about the deep south, how come that is okay but this isn't?   Have we really become so thin skinned that only white people are allowed to be the targets of comedy?  Well that can't be it because lots of black people live in the deep south so why didn't the BBC suspend Christpher Ecelston for saying the line and Russel T Davis for writing it back in 2005?

I guess you are just not allowed to make jokes about a country that has a majority non white population.  So basically free speech does not exist in the UK any more.  Well there goes my life long dream of visiting the country, I really don't want to be thrown in prison or lose my job if I say something that isn't 100% purely PC.

A few weeks ago I went into a Wendy's that had nothing but Mexian working there who didn't speak english.  I later complained because they got every order I saw them fill(Including mine)wrong and they were really slow and they kept barking at all of us in spanish when no one in line spoke it.  I guess in the UK I would be found guilty of racism and the cops would have put a bullet in the back of my head for my crime.

I have admired the UK my whole life but that is gone now, it's clear that an ultra PC mindset has taken over and that now true freedom is dirtier word then fuck.  Here is the test to see if you live in a free country, if someone can say something that offends 99% of the population and not be arrested or lose their job over it.  if they can you are in a free country, if they can't then you are in a police state that is pretending to be free just to keep the citizens quiet.

You miss the point. You are free to say whatever you want. The boss is free to fire you whenever he wants and for whatever reason. The cop is free to "put a bullet in the back of my head". The state is free to throw in your jail. That is a true freedom.

Have you ever tried searching for all your own posts on Google DrCrow?  I'd be interested in reading all the absurd and over the top things you've said over time.  You're just like chicken little.

Yeah I am not sure what he said that is racist.

If I remember the "Final warning" Clarkson was under before yesterday was due to footage coming to light of Clarkson saying "N***er". It sounded pretty rascist to me, although I'd be prepared to say it was a slip of the tongue. But the weight of all the other sexist, mildy-rascist, disabilist and homophobic stuff he's said over the years leading up to it, didn't put it in a good light.

Plus recently nearly getting his film crew killed in Argentina and calling a Thai man a "Slope" for comic effect haven't endeared him to me any further. Also James May making a recent car documentary where he seemed to be ranting on about commies and hippies every 5 minutes made him sound rather unpleasant too.

So if after all that you go around punching TV producers, a suspension is on the cards.

Okay,none of that was in the article, at least not the version I read.

I can see what it would not be good for the image of the BBC.  Still not sure why people would get mad about two of the cases cited since in the one case it was him complaining about the particular film crew he was having to work with(I remember George Lucus said pretty much the same thing about the British crew he had to work with on Star Wars and I don't think he hates British people)and the other he was clearly making a joke about the fact that he and his film crew came down with the trots.  That to me seems to be leaning in the direction of a black list creating police state so that is what had me upset.

Now if he is starting fights and nearly getting people killed, that is completely different and the BBC was right to suspend him.  I would guess he has anger issues of some kind and I hope he can get help or something instead of this destroying his life.  I know what it is like to have those issues and to flip out on people when things go wrong so I really hope this man gets help.

Still as you say if he was hurting people and the BBC's good relations with other countries and the public they did have a right to suspend him.

It was just from what I read it sounded like they were suspending him just for not be completely PC and is a very dangerous road to go down.

Sorry I misunderstood.

 In Rose at one part Rose Taylor is in shock over how alien and scary things are and The Doctor makes a remark along the lines that the deep south is worse.  That to me seems to be on par with remarks about everyone getting the trots in India.

Not to mention that the BBC has no problem with airing or selling Fawlty Towers which features a very negative stereotype of a Spanish man played by a white guy.  Also don't even get me started on the yellow face in Talons from Doctor Who.  I am not sure the BBC can preach about racism.

Still I got the wrong idea bout why this guy was suspended, so I have withdrawn my complaint.

I once knew a girl in high school whose last name was Candida. I can't help but wonder if she ever became the butt of yeast infection jokes.

Though I hate having copious amounts of back hair, there is one upside to it; should I earn enough money to get a hair transplant following the complete recession of my hairline, I'll have enough surplus follicles available to get the job done.

I found a video on my phone this morning of me and my friends running circles around my house, it was took last night, I don't remember it.  All well and good, shit happens right?  The problem is, the camera moves so it's not just sat down somewhere and everybody that was at my house last night is in the video.  What really happened last night?  That's a question I don't want to answer.
