This is random, maybe even pointless, but I found it interesting.
On the way to work I was listening to them talk about the latest homicidal/suicidal maniac, Elliot Rodgers. They said there was an article written where the author blamed JUDD APATOW/SETH ROGEN movies for this guy's rampage. I don't know why; something to do with the fact that those movies are almost always about the goofy guy getting the hot girl.
What struck me as interesting about it is that they are blaming friggin' COMEDIES. It used to be "blame heavy metal, blame horror movies/novels, blame DOOM." Now we are pointing the finger at movies that are supposed to make us laugh and bring some kind of sunshine to break through the clouds of the insanity that is the modern world.
