Comment Of The Day 36787

As we write this, we???re looking out the window and bemoaning the fact it???s raining, that our brand-new umbrella after less than five minutes of actual usage and we no longer have the type of job where we can call in ???sick??? due to unfortunate weather conditions/extreme laziness. And so, for your sanity and ours, we???ve decided to kick off a glorious new feature called ???Comment of the Day,??? to provide a transient glimmer of entertainment for all you working stiffs who would much rather be downing margaritas poolside on the Jersey Shore (while fending off advances from married, guidos named Tony) than slaving away in your cubicles.

Today???s ???Comment of the Day??? comes to us from Huffington Post, and pertains to movie critic Peter Bart’s review of Knocked Up, in which Bart takes particular issue with the so-called ‘unrealistic’ aspects of the film , asking, “Are we so “values driven” that we’re prepared to overlook the fact that the “values” of this film defy credibility?”

Apparently, yes!

But, while Bart ridiculed the Knocked Up screenwriters for creating a “One Night Stand” story that doesn’t end in abortion and shame, it turns out that some of his readers respectfully disagree. Their (mostly angry!) thoughts, after the jump.

First, danothemoderateguy reminds us to be grateful for small favors.

At least it didn’t feature Eddie Murphy or Martin Lawrence in a fat suit. –danothemoderateguy

So true! But it’s LS1958 who finally silences Bart’s crazy, “She Should’ve Had An Abortion” rant and puts him in his place.

Homicide and property crime rates are up again in Detroit. Another 14 soldiers died in Iraq over the weekend. Gas is so expensive I can’t afford to take a vacation without breaking into my 401K. Do NOT take away my fluffy, funny, stupid summer movie with the happy ending. –LS1958

Congratulations, LS1958. And thanks to all of you for playing. Meanwhile, the Honorable Mention goes to jimpryor99, who writes, “Jeez, it isn’t real life…Next he’ll complain because a real princess would never marry an ogre, [therefore Shrek] can’t be good.
