I'm a huge fan of Naked Gun movies so I rented this tonight. I meant to see it in theatres, but missed it. Anyway, I just about pissed myself laughing at this one... and I'm by myself! Anyone seen it?

I'm def. a Zucker fan, but tend to prefer my laughs without a right wing axe to grind.
Apparently Zucker only became a Conservative after 9-11.
To help perpetuate the "us vs. them" sheep mentality, the film was almost exclusively publicized on Fox News and on AM stations.
The thing is, I never watched Airplane or Hot Shots or Naked Gun and thought of it as "left" or "right."
I just thought it was funny.

You gotta laugh at that, regardless of your politics. The opening scene in Cuba spoofing Sicko had me laughing so hard my neighbors were worried
