Cracked.com is the sort of obsessive-compulsive’s version of The Onion, with lots of lists that are supremely easy to submit to Digg and Stumbleupon that alternate wildly between “very funny” and “dear god, shoot everyone that signed off on this.” Being a fan of hyperviolent shoot-em-ups films, I was very interested to read their list of 5 Kick-Ass Action Movies That Are Pure Propaganda and while the writing was sharp (frequently finding very leftist messages in films that purport to have AMERICA! FUCK YEAH! at the core), the comments were a minefield of idiocy and spam. Here’s the single best one, which made my jaw actually drop from the stupidity on display:

and farenheit 9/11 wasn’t on this list?! really? ya know, my dad once told me something he heard in the army, you don’t realize when you’re watching the best forms of propaganda, because the best propaganda is so entertaining that you don’t notice. or something like that…

Yes, that spectacular action movie, Fahrenheit 9/11. I understand that over 2700 people died making that movie, that’s how realistic it was.
