Get down offa thar!

Humor in funerals, huh? . . . like Harold and Maude?

Bad Santa to me is an update of the Animal House, Caddyshack, Something About Mary formula. Grossout, can't look at it, but can't look away, like a trafic accident humor. Yes, BS goes MUCH further, but that's indicative of our times. The world we live in is grosser and more sexually explicit. Keyrist man, do you think that Paris Hilton cow could have had that show on Fox even 3 years ago? The world is moving on. Climb aboard. If you choose not to, swell. Just wave as we pull away. (we may be driving off a cultural cliff, but at least we're moving)

But don't tell me about all the ridiculous holes in the plot like BillyBob's character couldn't get it up after drinking so much. It's a MOVIE. Was Caddyshack believeable? You think Bill Murray's deviant groundskeeper would have kept that job for more than a day? Animal House's rampant liquor abuse? How could Bluto even stand up? Fear and Loathing in LV? What, you think that really happened that way? Humans CAN'T do THAT many drugs.

It's funny how some people will suspend disbelief for some character's foibles, but not others . . . I suppose some line gets crossed.
