Thank God for our first amendment
October 18, 2004I saw Team America: World Police this weekend, and the whole time I’m thinking thank God for our first amendment rights. Because it lets somebody craft a crude, raunchy satire that pokes fun at everybody.
If it weren’t for those rights, they’d never have been able to get away with this movie. They’d never be able to have an Alec Baldwin puppet be the spokesman for FAG–the Film Actor’s Guild. They’d never be able to show North Korean dictator Kim Jung Il as a lisping maniac bent on world destruction.
And without the first amendment, we’d not be able to watch this funny little flick. Definitely worth watching, maybe not full price but at the matinee.
