WHITE HOUSE ANGER AT HOLLYWOOD ELECTION SURPRISE: PARAMOUNT PUPPET MOVIE MOCKS TERROR WAR
The Drudge Report ^ | August 01, 2004 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 08/01/2004 5:59:11 PM PDT by O.C. - Old Cracker

A new film set for release from PARAMOUNT has raised the pop culture threat levels at the White House -- a film which mocks the war on terror and media urgency using puppets, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"I really do not think terrorism is funny, and I would suggest PARAMOUNT give respect to those fighting and sacrificing to keep America safe," a senior Bush adviser told the DRUDGE REPORT this weekend.

The new fuss film TEAM AMERICA, set for release two weeks before the November presidential election, is entering post-production from with SOUTH PARK creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone

A deep voice using serious tones opens the film's teaser: "We live in a time of unparalleled danger. Weapons of Mass Destruction are being offered to terrorists all over the world. Global chaos is about to consume every country on Earth. And there is only one hope for humanity."

The senior Bush adviser, who asked not to be named, fumed after seeing the movie's official website and trailer.

"This is just unconscionable. Not funny. And I believe it makes fun of everyone in law enforcement... and in the armed services who work tirelessly to keep us safe from harm."

Marionette puppets are used throughout the film to mock terror threats, and media figures who dominate the nation's airwaves.

I don't believe it. I think your a lying punk.

That is just too funny.

What is up with him calling everyone punks? I get the impression that this guys travels in the left lane at the speed limit and considers everyone that passes him on the right "A Punk!"

This is interesting. I was thinking that the writers are taking a page from Moore's playbook. Creating the buzz beforehand, making people think it's anti-Bush to get the crowds in and then BOOM...knock them over the heads with how ridiculous their side is.

It's not a bad thing, for the punks. The adults have to continue to tolerate the bad behavior in hopes that one day the punks will grow up.

This movie is going to be a big-time success with the 20-something crowd and should outdo F911...where Hans Blix is meeting with Kim Jong Il, you all have a real treat awaiting you.

thanks...for the heads-up. :))

..Then why is Bush's team so mad?..

I would guess because none of them were in Hall H the afternoon of 7-24 - if Karl Rove had been there, he would have walked out thinking the election was in the bag -

Wow! That's good to hear. I don't blame the administration for being so knee jerk though, the media has been so bad to them, they probably just assumed it was going to be a hit piece! I'm going to check on what IMBD is saying about it..be right back!
