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.

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

Because they don't know what they're talking about.

This excerpt on drudge makes them look stupid when you actually have a clue what the movie will be about. They should distance themselves from those comments.

Yeah, but how about the classic "Orgazmo" about Mormon missionary porn stars fighting crime as superheroes?

"Stunt cock!"

Heh, you have to be in the right frame of mind, but I actually thought that movie was pretty funny.

Trey and Matt just said they heavily rip into Jeaneane Garafolo....hehehe.

They said they absolutely are not mocking those fighting for our country.

Matt said the Bushies should chill on this one.

I'm listening, and one of the South Park punks just said that they haven't decided whose side they're on.

And the host just said he's going to tell all the 'Bushies' to just chill and wait until the movie comes out.

The movie is supposed to have hollywood liberals as the villains who want to keep America from fighting terrorists.

AMEN! Here's to all us republican punks! I watch South Park all the time, and LOVE the way they rip the libs, it's incredibly funny, especially when you soak up politics like a sponge and you know what they actually mean with their jokes!

The Rob Reiner episode was golden. It actually defended the tobacco industry.

Agree with those who think this will help GW and Repubs more than the Dems.

This kind of garbage and more;like Howard Dean's cogent observations today; that the increased terror alert we are experiencing; is no more than a Republican fear campaign has got to wear thin.

Of course, Clinton thought the same;only he figured it was just a 'fear' campaign waged by Osama. . .

Keep it up you 'Lefty' folks. . .
