    So this isn't an excerpt from Bill O'Reilly's bestselling book, Culture Warrior? Pity. An equally entertaining read though, even if your evidence was shaped to fit your thesis.

    I checked the comments before reading the article, saw this, then decided to forgo reading the article due to the possibility of Bill O'Reilly actually having some sort of a positive influence on this article's content.

    Just to clarify, no O'Reilly's, Bill or otherwise, were involved in the making of this article...okay, maybe "Radar" O'Reilly, but nobody else.

    That's why The Wrestler didn't get nominated! I'm pretty sure I said earlier how this years Oscars where all fairly optimistic. It's because we're in tough times now. More and more people are going to want to go to the movies to see happy uplifting stories instead of sad gritty ones.

    Bungee Jumping is bad, but bungee jumping to "I'm walkin' on sunshine" is far worse.

    I heard a story in college about a dude that was at a party, heard "I'm walkin' on sunshine," promptly said "That's my fucking song," and slid down a banister.

    Needless to say, said guy busted his ass on the floor.
