I personally banned the oscars this year. I also wrote the idiots an email...surprisingly with no response
To explain why, I was flipping through the stations on the TV thursday, and ET (Entertainment Tonight) was showing Arnold pressing a button showing they have figured out how to manage a budget in California. Then, they started in on the Oscars.... the millions of dollars spent, the stupid balls, and who was wearing what and the prices spent on the clothes. The whole time I was thinkin.... what the hell?? Is the US not in a recession??
Anyway, I decided to write them an email and remind them about the last recession the US was in and how the Oscars represented the fact that the country was in trouble. They need to get their head out of their asses and understand the value of a US dollar! I told them they should hand out wooden oscars (being green) and everyone should come in jeans and a T-shirt and they should also serve chicken nuggets from McDonalds!!! They should take the millions of dollars they would save and cut a check to every American that has recently lost their job and can't afford to feed their family. These are the people who spent their money last year to watch these movies that made millions!!
Hollywood has no idea what is going on in this country... we should all ban movies to get the point across. But the way its going no one will soon be able to afford to go...... maybe they will wake up but I doubt it!
