The whole point of the movie was that maybe some of us just didn't get the joke. As this review shows, maybe some of us never will. Nobody had done what Andy Kaufman had before he did it, and that is one of the many reasons to call him a comic genius. Jim Carey's comedy and talent can't be compared to Kaufman. They are so divergent in what they attempted and attempt that only a tool would attempt to compare them. They were both great to have around and masters of what they attempted to achieve, but can't really be compared beyond that.
All that noise, then this guy remembers we have Big Blue in our corner now. I know, not the right long term solution, but after reading so many posts, none of which were quite here yet, it cracked me up for some reason. It does seem like a no brainer at the moment.
You can't believe "the government doesn't do that either" part of your statement. You shouldn't even be on here if you believe that. That was no rant, it was...well, ok, It was a rant. But a rant of genius!!!
If this is true, aren't most ISP's businesses that reside on private property. Your mail passes through at least one isp that belongs to a private business every time you send mail. So someone always has a right to go through your mail right? Wrong.
Exactly. Then suddenly the administrator is given the power to get anyone hired and fired...which in a way, we kinda have anyway. The questions not whether you have it, it's will you abuse it. abusing by using it to violate peoples basic rights to privacy is for weasels.
