I've seen the last half of it, and thought it was pretty funny. Those guys had real guts to pull off the stuff they did. I enjoyed myself. 8/10 in my books.

Can someone give us some details as to what this film is about? Sounds like you all liked it, but why? What's the deal here?

Character is not who you are in front of others, but who you are in front of yourself.

Pornographic sex, shown right in the church.

Okay, I'm kidding, lol.

It is a movie about globalization really. There is this thing called the WTO, world trade organizatoin, which pushes for free trade. Now, free trade often kills, and it is not fair trade at all, most of the time. These guys pretend that they are the WTO. They go and represent the WTO at various different meetings. It is hillarious man.

But keep one thing in mind. Poor countries lose like 2 billion dollars a day, thanks to unfari trade, 14 times the amount of financial aid that they get. Think about that. These guys are raising awareness to some major problems. They do it in a hillarious way.

Jive Dock, did you see the part when they went to new york, when they had the lecture for those college students?

I think that they should nail the IMF.

I like all kinds of music and mostly I don't listen to the radio, I like to look for bands that are more underground *sorry if that sounds cliche*. That's not to say there isn't some good entertainment out there, just... well this is what I'm listening to lately: City & Colour Coheed and Cambria Dustin Kensrue Emarosa Flight of the Conchords Fleet Foxes Imogen Heap Isles and Glaciers Lights Missy Higgins Owl City Paramore Say Anything Sufjan Stevens The Reason Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker You, Me, and Everyone We Know There are a lot more, but not enough room so I'll stick with those for now. I'm pretty sure they all have myspace accounts if you want to take a look.

they are wonderful people haha. and technically, they're aren't doing anything wrong impersonnating the WTO. (so their lawyers say)
