> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > As a lawyer, I agree. It is at least arguably no different from basing a movie on a Bush-assassination scenario. By what argument is it no different?

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > Say, **Jimmie Joe** , any chance you ever might start talking to people here as actual people rather than some sort of bizarre cartoon figures you’ve made up in your head? Given that this particular poster’s favorite question is “how have you pledged to serve Obama today?,” I would say there’s no chance of that. ---
