Ben Shapiro, writing today at Townhall, stated "America has been renewed. We were tired after the Clinton administration. Indifference had crippled us; scandal had jaded us. But Sept. 11 revitalized us by showing us the face of evil. We were revolted, and we vowed never again to slide into the morass of moral lassitude. If audiences keep flocking to unchic, cheesy, moralistic Jim Carrey flicks, we're on the right track."
Anybody remember Jim Carrey's last ditty, a hepped out groove called the Majestic? About the Red Scare and how it worked to destroy lives? "Peter is called for HUAC questioning, because he once attended a Communist meeting in college, but only in an effort, he protests, "to impress a girl." Suddenly [he is] blacklisted and dumped by Sandy." Yeah I guess that is a good message for America.
Or how about the Truman show, where a guy lives in a totally phony world created for the profit of a cable producer. There might be a message in that as well.
