2 + 2 BASHED!!
From Fox News: Link
"...fictional movie star Troy McClure (best remembered for the faux educational filmstrip: "2+2 = Negative Fun")." Convert, all of you Simpsons fans to South Park. The Simpsons do not like you. (OK, that is the worst obscure reference I could come up with.... I just got a chuckle when I read 2+2...) :Maverick Punching Out: |

Re: 2 + 2 BASHED!!
Not posting the entirety of the best Troy McClure short in Simpsons' history is just wrong...
% The film starts. "The Meat Council Presents: `Meat and You: Partners % in Freedom'. Number 3F03 in the `Resistance is Useless' series." % Open on cattle country. Troy: Nothing beats a stroll in cattle country. Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such educational films as "Two Minus Three Equals Negative Fun" and "Firecrackers: The Silent Killer". Jimmy: Mr. McClure? Troy: Oh! Hello Bobby. Jimmy: Jimmy. I'm curious as to how meat gets from the ranch to my stomach. Troy: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down Jimmy. You just asked a mouthful. It all starts here, in the high density feed lot. Then, when the cattle are just right [swipes his finger along the top of a cow and licks it] Yum...it's time for them to graduate from Bovine University. -- Summa cum laude, "Lisa the Vegetarian" % A klaxon blares out a siren and the cattle begin moving up a conveyor % belt into the meat packing plant. Troy: Come on Jimmy, let's take a peek at the killing floor. Jimmy: Ohhh! Troy: Don't let the name throw you Jimmy. It's not really a floor, it's more of a steel grating that allows material to sluice through so it can be collected and exported. -- Troy nearly got in at Hendon, "Lisa the Vegetarian" % They walk throught the door of the plant accompanied by the sounds of % moo-ing and startled cows. Electricity noise sparks in the background % as the camera pans down the length of the factory to a truck marked % "Meat For You" being loaded with raw chunks of meat. Troy and Jimmy % emerge, with Jimmy visibly pale and queasy. Troy: Gettin hungry Jimmy? Jimmy: Uhh, Mr. McClure? I have a crazy friend who says its wrong to eat meat. Is he crazy? Troy: Nooo, just ignorant. You see your crazy friend never heard of "The Food Chain". [Flash to a picture of "Food Chain", with all animals and arrows pointing to a silhouette of a human.] Just ask this scientician. Scientician: [Looking up from a microscope.] Uhhh... Troy: He'll tell you that, in nature, one creature invariably eats another creature to survive. [Images of various wild carnivores attacking and eating others appear.] Don't kid yourself Jimmy. If a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about! [Image of a cow quietly chewing cud.] Jimmy: Wow, Mr. McClure. I was a grade A moron to ever question eating meat. Troy: [Laughs.] Yes you were Jimmy, yes you were. [Briskly rubs his hand on Jimmy's head.] Jimmy: [Timid] Uhh...you're hurting me. -- Troy McClure, the silent hurter, "Lisa the Vegetarian" % Film's over. |

Re: 2 + 2 BASHED!!
ah,
but Fox put 2+2=negative fun. so: 1) does this call into question Fox's fact checking. (please, no right wing left wing Moore Bush Kerry debating/tangents) 2) Was that an intentional Inaccuracy and I got an inside joke (2+2=-EV) 3) Fox slipped in a 2+2 plug but Raymer/ESPN doesn't. |

Re: 2 + 2 BASHED!!
Those little asides from snpp e.g. "-- Troy nearly got in at Hendon, "Lisa the Vegetarian"" make me want to punch people in the face over the internet.
