Did they expect us to treat them with any respect?
A little song for Big Brother, written long ago by a bunch of fellows from across the water:
Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
and build them a home, a little place of their own,
the ‘Fletcher Memorial
Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings’
and they can appear to themselves every day
on closed circuit t.v.
to make sure they’re still real —
it’s the only connection they feel.
I note with interest that it’s only girls that get picked on in that house, and note that Galloway only defends those whom it is in his best interest to defend.
Of course there’s a strong element of hypocrisy and sanctimony in sitting watching people like George, Burns and Galloway while passing judgement on their character, but for the sake of argument let’s say they are fair game.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine

Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso

Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
The three men you speak of are colossally selfish, enormously egotistical and, being middle-aged, sexist.
This is a personal observation of mine. Younger men are normally much less sexist than those around my own age.
I don’t know, I know a few incredibly sexist 20-something men, who also happen to be colossally selfish and enormously egotistical. And they’re angstier than a 15-year-old goth because they’re not “allowed” to be overtly sexist anymore. Boo hoo.
So why are Galloway/Barrymore/Burns still in there - they’ve all been up for eviction, haven’t they? People don’t actually like them, do they? Or is it a Makosi we’re-saving-you-for-last deal?
I know hardly any 20-somethings that are anything like as sexist as my peer group but maybe that’s because they are too scared of me to own to their sexist nonsense. And surely at that age they cannot remember ever having been allowed to be overtly sexist. Of course none of this applies to spides who are as sexist as ever they were.
