Its a crime.


So has anyone else seen the trailer for the movie "I Love You Somebody Something or other" ( I cant really remember the name)??? I am most disturbed by the proposed plot of this movie. I really think it is a crime against the world at large. If you are unfamiliar with the movie in question I will expound for a moment about what I have gleaned from the commercials I have seen. It is set in a town around some teen aged kids. Apparently during their commencement exercises the dorkiest guy in school decides to proclaim his love for the hottest most popular girl in school. I really believe this is a dangerous message to be sending out to the masses. NO. I say no. Why would anyone want to give them false hope. Imagine the hottest girl from your school and the king of the nerd herd. Can you see it? Nothing good can come from this idea being put into their giant brains. The trailers intimate that this poor nerd has a chance and that this girl is going to give him a shot to be her man. This can only produce a false sense of social normality that nerds are just not ready for. And girls who think their group of friends are going to finally come around and see them for who they are? No. I say again, no. It is just not how things are done. It may be a lovely dream but I think it is dangerous to fill nerdy heads with hope of bagging the lovely girl... in high school. I would plead with the nerds of the next generation... Wait. Just wait, fill your giant craniums with all the physics and computer science and technologically advanced jargon you can. Then wait. When the jock, who would have surely pummeled you for making a declaration of love to the hottest girl in school, is driving a garbage truck with his beer belly hanging out and the girl who you would bestow your best years on is 200 pounds and has a gaggle of children, show up at your class reunion. For sure you will have the hottest wife that you met while landing your corporate deal with Microsoft. What do you do?? they will inevitably ask. "oh I just invented the latest chip that is in every hand held gadget anyone owns. everywhere." Trust me.. it WILL be worth it.
And to those who have made this negligent choice in movie making.. I say SHAME. Its just not right.

  2. Well, I guess that you just don't have any nerds in your family. They aren't jocks either in fact just what are the personages in your family?
    We love them anyway. nana

  3. I don't know, I think Dan, the king of our high school, "bagged" one of the hottest chicks ever. I guess it doesn't hurt that Angie's one of my best friends though and thus super hot in my eyes. :)
