Thread Name: BS: Jim Carrey & The Cold Dead Hands of FOX
Subject: BS: Jim Carrey & The Cold Dead Hands of FOX
Anybody see Jim Carrey's video "Cold Dead Hands?" It's a spoof of Charlton Heston, country music and self-righteous gun owners, set as an episode of Hee-Haw. I know, I hate Jim Carrey too--even in serious roles, I'm afraid at any moment he might goof out and sing out his ass, but this is well done. It's clever, funny and the song he sings is spot-on satire. But this video is suddenly getting harder to find. On You Tube it's buried under a deliberate mound of FOX News commentary. The whole network teams up to trash Carrey's "cultural intolerance"(don't miss the irony here) and picking on a dead and formerly crotchety Alzheimer's patient. I think FOX folks are really shaken by this criticism and are fighting back with some corporate censorship. Any other thoughts on this?
