Conservative People Fucking (Stupid)



How predictable that our “Conservative” overlords are so paralyzed by the fear of offending their morally righteous “base” of God-bothering ninnies that not a single one of them would agree to attend yesterday’s screening of the provocative film that’s become the focus of the debate surrounding proposed changes contained in Bill C-10. Mortified Cambridge MP Gary Goodyear even went so far as to fire a staffer just for mistakenly suggesting her boss would be attending.

How on earth can these gormless asshats maintain that YPF is “pornographic” (which by all accounts is definitely not the case — and if it were, it would be disqualified on those grounds anyway) and undeserving of federal funding because of the nature of the content when, like “Doctor” Charles McVety, they haven’t even seen the film? Idiots.

Update: Kady O’Malley attended the screening. Her verdict? “Absurdly wholesome, and really very sweet. The kind of movie that sucks you in when you’re flipping through the channels on a Sunday afternoon.” Heh. Much ado about nothing, as usual.
