[http://www.darkhorizons.com/news03/031224c.php](http://www.darkhorizons.com/news03/031224c.php) I saw that link on the SA forums. I scrolled down, and saw the horror for myself: > [@](#): > > “Sk8er Boi” - A teenage ballet dancer rejects the affections of a skateboarding enthusiast who has a crush on her because she feels her friends wouldn’t like him (she actually likes him), which is a decision she regrets five years later when he becomes an extremely successful musician. Well, that pretty much proves it. There is, in fact, no God. ---

What’s the problem again? So some rich fat cats are making another movie which targets prepubescent girls. I’m not exactly surprised. ---

I think the problem is based on the fact that it spewed from an Avril Lavigne song who everyone knows is lame and not a real punk. :rolleyes: ---

This is teh suxx0rs… or something. Also, what’s up with “Freedomland”? Seems like another Morgan Freeman + younger female mystery/suspense flick. ---

Where’s Waldo? A year from now we’re gonna be watching “Where’s Waldo?” And no, there is a God, he’s just doing what he does best: unleashing horrible plagues upon the earth. Only this time through Avril Lavigne. Psychopachik Vampire ---

What is so immature about being dismayed by the fact that Hollywood is making a movie based on some crappy four-minute long pop song? ---

If you’re a music lover **Golden Gun** , the worst thing about growing older is how you inexorably become more and more cynical about anything to do with music in the realm of popular culture. It’s a sad thing… and it’s an infuriating thing… but history shows that “time and time again”, if there’s a buck to be made by exploiting the dispensible cash holdings of younger folks who have an interest in music, then it’s “all bets are off”. As the great man **Eddie Vedder** himself once said “It’s as though the entire music industry these days is geared towards ripping off every last cent from pre-pubescent teenagers by making endless clones of the same videos featuring perfect choreography performed by perfect fucking Disney Kids…” ---

Eddie Vedder has also said some outrageously ignorant things in the past. I wouldn’t use anything he’s said as words of wisdom… ---
