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.

"Tolerance Camp" was a pretty good skewering of the "PC" Liberal groupthink.

"Ju vill fingerpaint scnenes of diversity!"

"Faster!"

"Faster!"

and many of them are fighting in Iraq. I'm sure this movie will be a big hit with our twentysomethings in uniform. Everybody needs to lighten up.

You thought I was going to say, 'punks', didn't you?

No, I never figured your spelling would be all that consistent.

OK, here's the plot synopsis from IMDB:

Marionette superheroes fight to end terrorism and put tired celebrities out of their misery.

That's because they don't have much of the movie finished. They have to get it all done by october 1st plus they have to start work on the next season of southpark that is starting soon.

ain't it cool news has a behind the scenes look at the movie that will make the finger pointing 'blashphemer!!!' critics look even more ridiculous when the facts come out.

Didn't show/tell much about the movie, if anything. I've never seen a more empty preview for a movie.

Normally these are called "teasers." Just enough to give you a very vague idea and keep you interested.

you have a lot more to base that opinion of him on than he has to base his opinion of this movie on.

Log onto the Drudge site. It says that Parker and Stone save their most vicious barbs for Leftist pundits and Michael Moore.
