I think this episode illustrates the unique irony of the greatness of the United States of America. We have become so affluent that a 40 year old man can make a living skateboarding and is a celebrity because of it. But we risk losing it all by succumbing completely to the childishness this affluence and security has induced.

If only. Movie companies seems to thrive on making movies nobody watches. If production companies were really interested in making money, our theaters would be full of movies like "The Passion", "Taken", or "Casablanca." The industry in recent history has a habit of ignoring its consumers. See Dr. Ted Baehr's posting today.
