I like how the show treats the Johnny's Bananas story line as if it is one of the most important things to ever occur. "Bro, I really hope the Diceman gets his act together so Johnny's Bananas can finally get to air. America needs to laugh" - all of your co-workers around the water cooler. And people accuse Entourage of not having high enough stakes, the future of Johnny's Bananas hangs in the balance.
In Tarantino's defense, Jaime Foxx is an Oscar winning actor. I believe that the Oscar was for this film

How did they convince the entire cast of Napoleon Dynamite to leave their lucrative movie careers? It must be a passion project since they all believe so strongly in the source material
I think that the main issue is timing. Now had the african americans been given welfare and medicine FIRST, and then been subjugated to 400 hundred years of slavery and oppression, it'd probably be like, "well, before we get mad at those white people, lets not forget about all that nice welfare and delicious medicine that they were so nice to begrudgingly give us." Old people say the darnedest things
P.S. For the record, I love the whole "That's your ..." I read that headline and I know that I'm in for a
laugh, it just strikes me as in bad taste when the guy's recently deceast. Necrophilia jokes aside
Sorry, I'm a long time visitor to the site, I just never felt compelled to post anything, and I hate for my first foray into this to be as a wet-blanket, but come on, this is genuinely sad news and should not be taken as a mid-afternoon laff. Now, I honestly don't know ANY-thing about the guy, but in a world where everyone treated Micheal Jackson as a saint after his death, despite his checkered past (http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&safe=off&q=michael+jackson+molestation+victims&aq=f&aqi=g5&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=5a996d56de453056). I feel like it would be appropriate to mention that the guy died, as it is news and should be acknowledged, offer a genuine word of sympathy (if so inclined) and move on, without making the guy a punch line. Once again, I'm sorry that I'm entering the world of monsters as an antagonist, I've just seen some friends go in the day and it always affects people a lot more than you'd realize
