In Reply to: "Using Michael Medved as a cultural model is akin to asking Rush Limbaugh for dietary advice." Hmm... posted by clarkjohnsen on June 15, 2007 at 07:01:17:

And Medved's "research" is so flawed as to be laughable. One could just as easily find "data" that "proves" that movies with, say, a higher percentage of green-eyed, blonde latinos have a higher gross (but slightly lower net) than those films whose second leads are three-legged dogs. That's not research-it's manipulation to forward his cultural (there's that word again) model to the gullible, and, not coincidentally, fatten his wallet. You know-sort of like Rush!
But hey, if that awful language bothers you so much, just get a Clearplay DVD player. Your tender psyche will no longer be subjected to that rough-as-a-cob cursin'. You win-heck, we all win!
