MPAA Names Dan Glickman To Replace Jack Valenti

Zordak writes "Fox News is reporting that the MPAA has chosen a new chief to replace Jack Valenti. Dan Glickman is an avid Linux user, a well-known consumer advocate, vehemently critical of the DMCA and a member of the EFF. Ha ha. Just kidding, Dave Barry style. Dan Glickman is actually a seasoned Washington politician, having served as a Kansas representative and agriculture secretary under President Clinton. He has previously been a lobbyist for the Walt Disney Corporation, and his son is the producer of such quality fare as 'Shanghai Knights' and 'Rush Hour.' Don't be looking for that 'approved' Linux DVD player soon."

    Is this the a**hole who convinced Bono to give us the Mickey Mouse Protection Act? If he is, I say we tar and feather him, then burn him at the stake.

    Another step backward.

    Those Jews are real money grubbers though. The RIAA likes Jews because kikes know how to squeeze the pennies out of innocent people. Only a Jew can squeeze blood from a turnip.

    As a Kansan I always thought it was funny that the Sec of Ag was a Jew from Kansas. Now things are moving closer to equilibrium as he's going to work in Hollywood.

    As a Kansan Glickman made his reputation by being honest, dull and hardworking. How else does a Democrat Jew get elected by a bunch rightwing Kansan farmers?
