DoFTV Premiere!

The motion picture. It started with the Lumiere Bros. filming their workers leaving the factory in 1895.

20 minutes later, the first full-motion hardcore porn was shot and sold to president Grover Cleveland.

Since then, this mesmerizing medium has continued to enthrall and captivate. From D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation: The KKK is A-OK!, to The Godfather, to six sublime Police Academy releases, our love affair with moving pictures has never wavered.

But then again, that heretofore unbreakable bond has never been tested quite like this.

Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting to you the World Premiere of DoFTV. Original video shorts produced, written and directed by your favorite agents of workplace distraction, your buds at the Diary of Fools.

May God help us all.

-The DoF Crew.

oooooh, sad. you're right anonymous. how could we make fun of poor ol'FDR? sure, he turned his back on genocide for a handful of years, acted like Pearl Harbor was a surprise and imprisoned AMERICAN CITIZENS in concentration camps of their own, but that untouchable, saintly, rose pedal-shitting man had do it all from a wheelchair. yeah, we're dicks. give me a break.

Steve said...

I'm with Blaine. No president is untouchable. The lionization of FDR covers up some pretty awful truths. Truths that are hard to listen to. But truths.

It's either okay to make fun of everyone, or it's not okay to make fun of ANYONE. So, you're welcome to express your disapproval, Annie. But that means I'm just as welcome to tell you to cram your righteous indignation up your cornhole lengthwise.

By the way, Gandhi enjoyed haing sex with chickens. UNDERAGE chickens. That were dead.

If only the VH1 had come along a half century sooner…the comedy stylings of these dictators would have been channelled into the shit-laden stew of a channel. It would of been the perfect precursor to the eye-stabbingly horrendous crap they throw against the wall today (shit so fresh it sticks and leaves a trail of crap encrusted corn on the way down). Let's face it, once a show featuring Brett Michaels wooing strippers has a fucking spin-off vomit should erupt from every pore of every American left who can formulate a basic sentance or fill out a ballot correctly (all 162 of us).

@ merton and blaine…put your money where your mouth is.

I better see the Rev. Dr. MLK in your "Serial Killers Sing the Blues," and your "Douchebags of Reality TV present Books on Tape: Charles Dickens' Our Mutual Friend" better lampoon Nelson Mandela.

anonymous --

is that a challenge, or minutes from the last DoF brainstorming session?

Frank White said...

We could do an MLK jr. episode of Cheaters. That would be in similarly poor taste and, unlike anonymous's suggestions, would make some semblance of sense.

Hey! FDR as a despot isn't necessarily a logical, intuitive connection, guy.

What the hell are you even talking about?

Tajmccall said...

For using the American People as collateral to the Federal Reserve, thus creating a debt system where we'd always need to be paying interest to a privately held bank, yah you're a douche.

Thought the New Deal saved us?

Here's his OWN Secretary of Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, Jr.

"We are spending more money than we have ever spent before and it does not work. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get jobs. We have never made good on our promises. I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started and an enormous debt to boot."

Indeed. Basically most sane economists agree he prolonged the great depression.

But the real crime is that we're doing it again with these bailouts.

Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

For that, I give the American People this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A
