"EPIC" fail

For those of you not familiar with the tradition- once a year all the young adult singles (ages 19-31) in the LA area have a film festival. It’s their fourth year running and this year’s theme is James Cameron's Night of Epic Proportions! If you’re not LDS, you probably wouldn’t understand how incredibly stupid this theme is. Let’s just say out of the 5 films of any note that James Cameron has produced, basically none of them are appropriate for this kind of family-friendly event. I’m terrified to see what the ‘Aliens’ booth is going to look like.

But I’ve already put up a decent viral fight against the obvious stupidity before I was silenced by a sweet-spirited tyrant in person. I’ve had to seethe in silence for a few months. This weekend is the festival and normally I would boycott but I ended up being in two of the films. So I’m going. But not without a slight jab on the event page’s wall:

“I'm looking for a dress of "epic proportions". That or I'll just go dressed as the least offensive thing in James Cameron's films- an iceburg. “

So far, my old relief society president has ‘liked’ it and I feel validated.

But what kind of moron writes, “The submitted movie themes must be church appropriate!” right below a request for helpers to make a ‘Dark Angel’ and Terminator booth?

IRONIC ANYONE?


ps. yes, I did just post two entires back to back. I don't feel like working if I'm not going to get paid for it.
