Sometimes I Just Don't Get It

I couldn't tell you how many times I could have used that title in reference to a thousand things in life. For example, recently (asbout a half an hour ago) I found about Ned Danny and his documentary called 4 Weddings and Three Thousand Funerals. The premise for this film (as I surmise it) is that four weddings had to be cancelled as a result of the tragic events of 9/11. I first found out about this cutting edge documentary on the The Movie Blog in a story written by John Campea, who thought that while the documentary was wrong, wrong, wrong it still sounded rather hilarious. Personally, I thought it was nothing more than some 22-year old who thought of a funny title that parodied an actual movie title and so he had to create some stupid documentary in order to use the title. Porns are born by the busloads every day using that very same moronic muse. Ned even has a plane crashing into a wedding cake on his poster, in order to offend anybody he failed to offend with the title. Apparently, Ned got exactly what he wanted as the StopNedDanny site quickly went into action in order to, um, "Stop Ned Danny". They even linked a YouTube video of one of the victims which, I imagine, came directly from the documentary. In the end the victim remembers September 11th as the day she was supposed to get married, the day her fiance left her, and, oh, the day of the terrorist attacks. Which leaves me with one question: If her fiance left her on that day, how the hell did the terrorist attacks stop her from getting married? I know that 99 percent of most wedding are about the lady but, come on, you still gotta have a dude in there somewhere, don't you?

Hell, I don't know. Ever since Ken burned me with Belle & Sebastian deal, I've been questioning my ability to reason correctly.
