Right Wing WALL-E Meltdown

TUESDAY JULY 8 2008 6:00 AM

Submitted by FearTheReaper. Edited By erin_broadley.

TAGS: Wall-E, Right Wing

Holy shit, just when you think the right wing can’t be more retarded, WALL-E comes out and they lose their shit. Apparently, WALL-E is an evil movie full of “liberal propaganda” and “fear mongering.” The sweet little robot movie is poisoning the minds of our youth with its “agenda.”

Wha? Would that agenda be, “Don’t pollute and get off your ass?” Seriously? That is what they are getting upset about? What the fuck is wrong with these morons? And they are morons. Take a look:

Shannen Coffin:


From the first moment of the film, my kids were bombarded with leftist propaganda about the evils of mankind. It's a shame, too, because the robot had promise. The story was just awful, however.


Hey, lady named after the box we put dead people in, the movie is about love and the dangers of excess. Believing in exercise and using your mind are not part of the “liberal agenda.” That God you worship sort of set shit up like that. He gave you parts to use. The movie is saying if you don’t use the shit God gave you, then it ain’t gonna work out that well. As far as all the pollution, you may want to become familiar with the term “exaggeration” because it is a pretty common storytelling tool. And as far as it being an "awful" story - welcome to the world of being alone.

Greg Pollowitz


I saw WALL-E with my five year old on Saturday night. It was like a 90-minute lecture on the dangers of over consumption, big corporations, and the destruction of the environment.


Welcome to the world of irony, Greg. I guess it would be “like a 90 minute lecture” if anyone in the movie spoke during the first hour. See, Greg, people speak during lectures. That is actually what a lecture is. You just compared a movie where no one speaks to a lecture and you were serious, which is hilarious. This was a visual feast, during which your simple brain was forced to work without being told everything. Oh, and it’s a FUCKING CARTOON. Are you still mad at Dr. Seuss because of The Lorax? I see no difference between you and a shit-throwing monkey.

Glenn Beck:


Oh, I can't wait to teach my kids how we've destroyed the Earth.


Here’s a tip, Glenn: The movie is set in the future, so they aren’t teaching you kids that we have destroyed the Earth, but that we may if we don’t change our ways. But, hey, now you can be as mad at robots as you are at penguins. Also, Glenn, please tell me if you know what a closed system is, because you sound mildly retarded.


Pixar is teaching. Just, this is great. You know if your kid has ever come home and said, "Dad, how come we use so much Styrofoam," oh, this is the movie for you.


Glenn, did you just attempt to make your point with Styrofoam? Did you actually just convey irritation that your child may ask a question about the overuse of Styrofoam? Do you actually think only people who are excited to tell their kids about the problems of Styrofoam (no one) will enjoy Wall-E? Has a thought ever entered your brain that you didn’t allow to come out of your mouth?

Dirty Harry:


Why go there? Other than the dark chuckles from the liberal critics around me, what’s to gain? And other than a lack of self-control or hubris on the filmmakers’ part, there’s no explaining it. But they did it. They actually had the President (Fred Willard) say about his failed mission, “Stay the course.”

Have we lost Pixar? Have we lost the wonderful studio who brought us The Incredibles and Ratatouille to Bush Derangement Syndrome?


Oh, dear. You stupid asshole. Do you not understand that art imitates life – and films in particular reflect what is happening in society at that moment? For you to take such umbrage at a subtle moment is both astounding and laughable. Not once during this film did I, someone who hates Bush to his core, think about President Bush. Only you right wing morons seem to be frothing at the mouth over this kind of shit. And yet, I bet you still love when a “Clinton getting a blow job” joke rolls out of Robin Williams' pie hole. Oh, and thanks for hating the movie about the dangers of excess but loving the movie about rats cooking food. That’s a great message for kids.

You’re a fucking tool.

Jonah Goldberg:


I agree with the charges of hypocrisy. I agree that the Malthusian fear mongering was annoying. But I saw WALL-E on Saturday as well. And I thought it was a fascinating and at-times brilliant movie.


Hey, thanks for being able to see through all the incredibly offensive images and enjoying the movie. But, I’m going to have to call you out on being a douchebag. For you to use the term “fear mongering” in a negative fashion is the height of irony.

Jonah, had this movie been about a world destroyed by terrorism, you would have jerked off until your penis looked like it had gone 15 rounds with Rocky. Maybe if conservatives had a creative bone in their body, they might be able to knock a few of those out of the park. But you guys don’t, so you won’t. Bummer for you.

Gennady Stolyarov II


The film blatantly conveys environmentalist, anticapitalist, and antitechnological propaganda — and aims it at an audience of children, who still lack the critical faculties and intellectual sophistication to evaluate all relevant aspects of the issues presented.

But I will not focus here on how egregiously unrealistic the film's scenario of humans completely trashing Earth is. A simple look around you will suffice to refute this possibility. Garbage is not piling up around us, and landfills are in fact remarkably effective at storing it safely and even using it to generate useful natural gases.


Egregiously unrealistic?

Gennady, you know that was a cartoon, right? You understand that there is a difference between cartoons and documentaries, right? You know that people don’t have superpowers, like that family in The Incredibles, right? And that toys don’t talk and run around, like they did in Toy Story? Also, you understand that you are a fucking moron, right?

I understand that the right wing seems to have no ability to form complex thoughts. And I am not kidding, or making a nasty comment. I truly believe they do not have the capability to construct complex thoughts. They only see simplicity and then react with grunts and shrieks. WALL-E is a classic example.

The movie is a love story first. And the true villain is technology – but not in an overt way. Advances in technology allowed humans to break with nature, which led them to become divorced from their humanity. Their culture and society is completely artificial and they have moved about as far away from being human as possible. WALL-E is now more human than humans, as he longs for an intimate connection and enjoys the fruits of labor. WALL-E is on Earth, living a natural and organic life, while humans are in space, living an artificial life. People have now become so reliant on technology that they communicate via computer while sitting right next to each other, while WALL-E attempts to communicate by speaking and finding a common bond. It’s irony!

My favorite aspect of the right wing hatred are the movie's religious undertones.

The robot Eve brings forth the new “apple” in the form of a plant that tempts them to leave the false world they have created, the false God of technology and instead choose life. Too bad the simplistic right wing monkeys couldn’t see the obvious religious undertones due to their rage over piles of animated garbage. Oh, and wasn’t one of the seven deadly sins “Sloth?” Does the right wing now believe that excess is okay? How the fuck did they get to this place? They are more cartoony than WALL-E.

FearTheReaper may have started a blog.

Exactly! It's for children you fuckface! It's a children's movie, so stop delving deeper into it and just take it as it was meant to be... a movie for children...

Maybe spend the last few months you idiots have left in office doing something constructive, like lowering gas prices or developing an "exit strategy"!

I gotta say, I'm just ticked pick by the right wing's reaction to this. They are now reduced to whining about a cartoon robot. Now I'm wondering what we can do to make them look even more foolish and out of touch.

Knowing quite a few people with kids, it's great that there is a movie out for parents to take their kids to and enjoy themselves.

Everyone is right about how the right wing is getting mad. It IS a cartoon. Chill out.

If the issue is about the message we are sending to children then why didn't people cry out when a mother and all of her children, except one, were viciously murdered leaving a single father with a physically challenged child, who gets kidnapped? What movie is that you say? Pixar's "Finding Nemo." I haven't seen WALL-E, but it is Pixar so I am sure it is brilliant.



WTF? You have ruined Finding Nemo for me.

Yeah! I finally get to dust off this .jpg again, thanks FTR!
Ah yes, it never gets old...

I'd been a bit hesitant to start calling TV commentators anything bad again since Tim Russert (I called him a douche and he died!). But now that were talking about Glen "Fuckface" Beck, the gloves are gladly coming off. Seriously, the guy is a total douche, actually, he's worse. More like... Toxic shock syndrome of the Cable TV world. Yeah, that's it. biggrin

It's so funny that these Right-Wing wackos always see what they want to in these children's cartoons. It really shows how fucked-up in the head they really are. I mean, do they really go around looking at everything in the world this way so they can point out the "liberal agenda" conspiracy to everyone? I'm not saying that there isn't a progressive agenda (heyo!), but to get all frothy at the mouth over a silly cartoon? Ugh, pathetic.

After I saw WALL-E with a friend and her daughter, I thought it was a bit ironic that the movie theater was giving out these cheap plastic watches, bundled with a couple of Beverly Hills Chihuahua collectors cards as a promo to kids. Call me cynical, but considering the message in the movie, I thought that the theater was being hypocritical, hawking this unnecessary crap as a marketing tool targeting kids whilst they go to watch a movie about the consequences of excess and complacency... Oh, right, and love. If everyone's a critic, it's only fair that I give my own. I thought WALL-E was another great pic from Pixar. Funny and thoughtful. Two fists up. wink

The only annoyance I experienced while watching WALL-E had nothing to do with the movie itself, but rather a member of the audience who saw it necessary to narrate the movie to his girlfriend. Other than that, I didn't see anything other than a beautifully animated and charming story. I can't wait to see it again.

But, maybe we should set up a new rating system for movies. Or at least a cautionary statement in the beginning. Something like: Please be advised, this movie may be offensive to retards like you. Thank you.

See, the stupid people would think that it's talking about them and leave, whereas the smarter ones would think it's a joke and keep watching. Good stuff.

My parents have been tentatively anti-Pixar since Toy Story. It bothered them that it was a portrayal of a single mother while the "evil" family next door had a brutish father.

I'm not kidding about this. It's a difference of perspective, and it makes people like Glenn Beck and FTR froth at the mouth.

How is this news?



FTR was frothing? Seriously? You haven't figured it out yet? ummmm...yeah. surreal

Wow, so you weighed in solely to erroneously assume that I misread FTR's articles? Yes, he wasn't "frothing." He was just typing scads of dirty words and jokes as usual. I think my point was closer to the idea that sometimes (like this one, for example!) his staged reaction is equal to the ridiculousness of what he's railing against. I just don't see much point in worrying about reactions like the ones cited. I learned to ignore my parents, and it's not like FTR quoted anybody with any real power. There are few people more worth ignoring than Jonah Goldberg and Glenn Beck.

But feel free to continue to impugn my reading comprehension skills. wink
