News / Farrell makes the statement that a type of dinosaur was even 'dumber' than Poles [19]
Bratwurst:
Definition of a joke: something you can get away with by saying it with a smile. Do your words bear out with the results and actions of other ethnic groups? Or is it because there is no one with clout that can squash such defamation? That can destroy a career? Remember how Bill Mohr was taken off TV when he mocked the bravery of American pilots' bombing Iraq from 5 miles high? Remember the comedian who 'joked' about a kid named Chad Green who had died from a disease I believe and found his career stunted? Maybe you're right. Maybe the public has voiced it's opinion by not going to the film. But is this just because it was a bad film. I don't know. Will any objection cause more jokes: I don't know. It's sad to see such a film go overseas, which it has. In my opinion it doesn't reflect well on the US. Perhaps you're right, perhaps nothing should be done. Perhaps an unspoken, national maturity has occurred. Foreign perception sees the US film ability in a bad light. Much of the world already takes a dim view of American humor anyway. This film only adds to the dim view. Maybe it is best that nothing be done.
