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.
Little surprise. These punks create nothing but trash.
I am willin g to bet that when the smoke clears Bush by double digits!
This junk is just going to backlash on the libs
Like everything else that Liberals'll try and pull...this one'll backfire.
As I understand it, they are Republicans.
The operative word there is "queers". Hollywood is crawling with them like roadkill is with maggots.
This criticism is silly. From what I've heard this film SKEWERS the anti-war Left.
Actually this movie is going to primarily skewer the liberals. South Park hates liberals, and previous threads are about how the movie rips Michael Moore(he is always wearing mustard stains throughout the film) and other anti-war nuts.
Lighten up, O.C. If the previews are anything to judge by, this film is going to spend a lot more time taking the piss out of Mike al-Moor and Ted Kennedy than it will making fun of our fighting men. As far as I've seen in their other works the producers of this film are fairly pro-war and patriotic.
They produce filth. If they are Republicans, they have an odd way of showing it.
This film will be good. Its a spoof.
Well!!!! Compared to little bunny foo foo this picture just floats my boat.
Dumb dems have learned nothing from the Wellstone funeral. A lot of people in this country DON'T think this "terrorism stuff" is a big joke.
Hey Hollywood .. you're on a roll to ticked off all americans, aren't ya
The article doesn't mention that Matt & Trey make fun of Hollywood leftists during the entire movie...
They're Libertarians, actually, and they have no concept of "sacred cows," so this doesn't surprise me one bit. And it shouldn't upset people here, either.
I took it from the drudge story that this was anti-war on terror. My mistake. Hopefully they will make some good points, i cant imagine a puppet movie selling very well though.
