God help us, every one (Friday WTF)

While we're being all political and stuff, I saw this video the other day, which should serve nicely as our Friday WTF:



I have a favor to ask. Could we, as a society, PLEASE leave "A Christmas Carol" alone for a while? I truly love that book (emphasis on book), but it is the single most beaten-to-death story in Western Civilization. It could really use a couple decades of rest, and besides, there is nobody really qualified to play Ebenezer Scrooge since George C. Scott died. (hoo)

While we're at it, Leslie Nielsen and "The Makers of Airplane" should probably be put to pasture as well. Seriously, it's for their own good.

Anyway, I also saw a pretty entertaining article this morning about "Movie Disasters: Historic Box Office Bombs". I'm hoping that "An American Carol" will be on the list next year.
