Was it Eric Clapton or Greg Allman who said "Rap is just crap without the 'c'"?

Default Not a Hoax

Man, that is a freaky project. This is the first I'd heard of it. Visited the site and thought at first it was a hoax. Then I checked out the production company http://www.ifcfilms.com/ and it appears to be real. Quite a bizarre production. A caricature of epic proportions...

Oh, and I think the red state blue state thing is a bit tasteless and politically loaded. But, I would expect nothing less from the people who appear to be behind the project.

My Bad,

I was not aware Spike Lee was the producer. I remember stumbling across the movie before it was being produced by anyone.

Sincerely,
Unionblue

It has been said many times by many people, including me. I see from an earlier post the movie took in a whopping $14,661.
