2. How inane, pointless, masturbatory, and incomprehensible some
repetitive threads are, perfectly suitable for a cranial cavity stuffed
with Play-Doh™ instead of gray matter.

Case in point, this pathetic self-fagging Thread 165329.

well said, Seitse.

I do not want to blame the low-level of intellect on this site with the mindless threads though.

It feels like a chicken and egg thing to me.

If Seitse is the bad egg, does that make you the chicken?

When the story of the capture of an 'Enigma machine' from a German U-boat [an absolutely key moment in WW2] was made by American filmmakers, they had to pretend it was Americans who captured it and not the British [i.e. what actually happened] because American audiences would not like to think that it wasn't Americans who captured it and this would have affected how much money the American filmmakers would've made.

4. Gossip we may have heard about other people.

I am not bad and I am not an egg.

Prefer to be the ripe-but-not-yet-rotten avocado.

Aaannnnndd... another piece of the puzzle falls into place.

And no, not the puzzle you *think* I'm referring to.

Another one is the convicted pedophile and rapist who was depicted in Black Hawk Down but whose name was changed ~ thus turning him into someone else ~ although it was a film which purported to portray real people in historical events.

edit: presumably the filmmakers were worried about money ~ i.e. funding or profits ~ and this trumped the need for truth and accuracy.
