I feel no shame

[andrewducker]

It always annoys me when newpspapers go with the line "Rock Star in Sex and Drugs Shame" and when you read the article the person in question isn't actually ashamed at all (well, at least it did when I could bear to read that kind of paper).

So I'd like to make it 100% completely clear that I feel _no shame at all_ at having spent the last 2 hours unable to breathe from the amount of laughter that The 40-year-old Virgin was provoking. I haven't seen anything that funny since Team America, and the closing 3 minutes were funnier than anything I've seen since, ooh, the South Park movie.

It's basically a sexual comedy of errors, with a heart. The kind of thing I find unbearable if the characters are all completely unlikable, but works rather well if its heart is in the right place. I feel the same way about American Pie (the original, not the sequels, obviously).

You'll either love it or hate it.

(spidermonster would obviously hate it, sight unseen, from a great distance)

Interesting - from the trailer it looked one to DEFINITELY avoid at all costs.

Well, if sexual humour is going to put you off, then yes, absolutely.

And I seem to remember you hate anything that might make you cringe.

But it worked for me, largely because (a) it had a heart and (b)it wasn't afraid to let loose with the humour.

Oh, and it got loads of extra points for use of mainstream nerdity, but I'll post about that later :->

90% of my own humour is at the very least highly suggestive, so that's not an issue. The cringe thing would absolutely put me off, though. Mind you you compared it to the original American Pie and I liked that.

As I believe I said earlier, fuck you.
