As a stress relief mechanism, I go to boards with lots of libs and provoke them. So there's a pic of John Kerry as an Oompa loompa posted. This guy, I think is a former English teacher, calls it "gibberish. I call him "ARFET" - Anal Retentive Former English Teacher - he's always making spelling and grammar corrections.

I hardly think reference to Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory qualifies as "gibberish". This epic 1971 tale of everybody's non-pollutionary, anti-institutionary, pro-confectionery factory of fun is a classic in every sense of the word. Gene Wilder's brilliant portrayal of Mr. Wonka should have won an Oscar. Jack Albertson as Grandpa Joe is reminiscent of Clarke Gable's performance as Captain Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind. And the young Peter Ostrum as Charlie Bucket can only be described as magnificent. However, Rudy Borgstaller and George Claydon truly stole the show as the Oompa Loompas. Sadly, their magnificent performances were uncredited - it appears Hollywood was not yet ready for Oompa Loompas. Politics aside, "Willy Wonka" as we hardcore fans refer to it, is a masterpiece. You will laugh, you will cry, you will crave the candy. Two thumbs up and a "Z" snap.

More of that er, uh CHOCOLATE-LOOKING substance like the rest of your posts! LMMFAO!

Very mature response ARFET. Worthy of your best (middle school) efforts no doubt. I was hoping more for a discussion of WW as a stinging indictment of the industrial age and it's use of the vertically challenged as sweat shop labor. Or perhaps criticism of the hereditary passage of the crown in major corporations along with Mr. Wonka's refusal to recognize Charlie Bucket as his illegitimate son, which he quite obviously was. Even a discussion of the American Dream would have been more appropriate than your sophomoric reference to fecal material. We would have also accepted discussion reference capitalism vs. communism and The People's ownership of the work place as espoused by Marx/Engels. You however, receive zero points for "doo-doo". You are a No Go at this station. Move out and draw fire.
For some reason he refuses to answer. LOL Fookin' Willy wonka and libs! I love the internet!
