It sure sounds to me like you were not much of a fan of the National Lampoon, the satire magazine responsible for Animal House (not Belushi). In fact, I'm willing to bet you never saw a copy of this magazine during the 70s or knew anything about the people who published it. If they hadn't picked him to play the part of the clown/slob in that movie, it would've been someone else. They wrote the stories upon which that movie was based ("Tales Of The Adelphian Lodge" first ran in 1975), and it was them & Sean Kelly who were mostly responsible for that movie being made, NOT Belushi. I don't see you mentioning the name of Douglas Kenney here? Chris Miller? I'm sorry, you're arguing nonsense because you don't like the guy up on the screen. I was reading Nat Lampoon in the 70s, were you? If you're going to tell me that THEY are responsible for some kind of degradation of American culture, I'd sure like to see you come up with some examples & back up yr argument with some facts. Oh, and as for the effect of the movie on children--it was, after all, rated 'R.'
