“Dalton McGuinty doesn’t believe that teachers should be strung up by their heels and pelted with rotten fruit until they accept provincial jurisdiction over how often they breath in the classroom. If he was elected, he would institute a ‘Take a Teacher Home With You’ program – just one more example of how the Liberals would mollycoddle this already overly pampered social group.”
“Dalton McGuinty doesn’t believe in privatizing MRI scans and other medical services. He would prefer that everybody have access to fundamental medical care regardless of their ability to pay. But, what’s the point of being rich if you can’t use your money to buy things people without money can’t? If it were up to the Liberals, everybody in the province would get free hair care products and industrial ratchet saws – and who will pay for all of that?”
“Dalton McGuinty doesn’t believe in cynical tax rebates to selected demographic groups to sway an election. He has some crazy idea that elections should be about issues – like that’s gonna happen. Besides, if you look at our distortions of his positions, you’ll clearly see that talking about the issues doesn’t necessarily serve your party’s interests.”
Dalton McGuinty – still not up to the job of screwing the province.
This has been a paid political announcement of the “No Howdy Doodys Coalition” and the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.

“Hi. My name is…Barney. I’m an actor. I make $20 million a picture, plus a percentage of the gross. I won’t tell you what my percentage is, but if you really want to know, get out a dictionary and look up the word ‘obscene.’ My last three pictures underperformed at the box office, but they started approaching the break-even point through foreign and video sales. Video piracy hurts everybody in the industry. My accountant estimates that I will lose enough revenue in the next five years to put a solid downpayment on Venezuela. Please, don’t pirate videos.”
“Hi. My name is…Jeff. I’m a studio head. I made close to $100 million last year. True, eight of the 10 movies I greenlighted didn’t make back their print costs at the box office, but they started to approach the break-even point through foreign and video sales. You know, when you watch a video you haven’t paid for, you cost me one one billionth of my annual earnings. And that hurts. Please, don’t pirate videos.”
“Hi. My name is…Lenny. I run one of the major theatre chains in your country. I made $30 million last year, plus stock options. I’m not going to tell you what my stock options are worth but if you really want to know, get out a dictionary and look up the word ‘grotesque.’ My company made out like bandits last year, not so much for the films we screened – eight out of 10 of which underperformed – but by the way we expanded our fleet of octoplexes while closing down the older “film palaces,” maximizing our viewer flow-through and inflating our bottom line by aggressively marketing our games and concessions. We’re not affected by video piracy, but we’re sure it’s a terrible thing. Please, don’t pirate videos.”
Video piracy bad – don’t let it destroy the movie industry.
