The consequences for Tim Robbins' recent unpopular ramblings are miniscule
compared to the potential humiliation MM faces if the Academy is convinced
that his "documentary" Bowling For Columbine is in fact not eligible under
its own rules for qualification.

ROFL!

Humiliation? Don't you think he'd enjoy the publicity?

He is so far removed from reality that he probably would.  I believe that a
normal person, having some semblance of dignity and pride, would be horrified
were it to happen to them.

But the fact would remain that we would be laughing *at* him, not *with* him.

We? No. I'd be laughing with him.

So, do you reckon this is coming from his political targets or his rival
documentary makers? It's certainly not coming from the Academy.

What would be interesting is what the 'second placed' documentary maker
would do...

Cheers
