moonlightnrain just sent me the link to LOLBush and I had to share. The Georgia one just about killed me...

Also apparently someone decided to green light a wingnut "comedy" film. Apparently the cast includes Kelsey Grammar, Jon Voight, Bill O'Reilly and Kevin Sorbo. No, I'm not making that up. Nor am I making up the cards that were apparently handed out to the audience at a Heritage Foundation viewing:

If I fill out the card, I can take one of four pledges, such as "Yes, I will send the trailer to my contacts" and "Yes, I want to be AN AMERICAN CAROLER or THEATER CAPTAIN." It's an induction to a movement, as the slogan on the card makes clear: "Finally, a movie for us."

Yes my friends, this movie is going to be very special indeed. I think Kathy at The G Spot sums it up nicely:

There are basically two kinds of really, really bad movies: on the one hand, there's the kind that are so unrelievedly awful that they're a hoot to watch (think Glen or Glenda or Valley of the Dolls). On the other hand, there are the ones that are so excruciating that they're not even fun (Robert Redford's Lions for Lambs is the most recent film I've seen that falls into this category). Unfortunately, An American Carol will probably fall into the latter category. Nothing says FAIL like mirthless, unfunny comedy.

And Brad at Sadly, No! adds:

This is going to be the Film Event of the Year, friends. Wingnut attempts at comedy are akin to when a creepy 11-year-old kid tries to put the moves on his best friend’s hot 18-year-old sister: it’s awkward and it’s embarrassing, but it will also provide everyone who watches with hours of unintentional laughs.
