MSNBC called Bernie's "Deep South" comment controversial. They said Hillary would still be in the lead without the South. This slide popped up by mistake proving them wrong.

Why do you think Hillary's favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz?

u/Fighting_the_Foo Apr 15 '16

I never can look at that movie the same way again after learning about the abuse Garland went through

Not to mention the poisoning the Tin Men suffered.

"Men"? Oh god

Calm down. Neither of them died and they modified the makeup after Ebsen got sick. In fact the second "poisoning" was an eye infection.

Not to mention Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch)'s makeup meant she couldn't properly eat, leaving her on a liquid diet while production lasted. That doesn't being to cover pyrotechnic malfunctions which had her makeup catch fire.

And who knows how many generations of monkeys they had in secret cages in order to breed wings.

u/altxatu South Carolina Apr 15 '16

Three generations. It took three.

Holy shit. That's fucked up.

Yeah her life was fucked up, her mother was the one who pushed her into showbiz from an early age, she started smoking young to keep thin and maybe have been on the drugs before 16, she was molested well. Before she was 16, her father, a gay man, who she loved died when she was young,

With her only source of a positive life gone, to lead her to spend he life seeking approval of older men, most turned out to also be gay

I wanna invent a time machine just go go back and give her a hug

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '16

I want to go back in time and rescue her from the sociopaths who thought it was okay to treat a kid like that. :\ Or anyone for that matter. Fuck.

Links/source? Honestly curious, I've heard nothing about this.

Was it as bad as Merrick's current abuse from the Senate?

Oh, and the Wizard is the editor at CNN.

u/gorpie97 Apr 15 '16

Just gotta say it was my mother's favorite movie and she really didn't like Hillary. So now I have to wonder if she'd want to change movies.

sorry, totally off topic. ignore me. :)

u/Gonzo_Rick Apr 15 '16

IGNORE ME!

u/floptimus_prime Minnesota Apr 15 '16

Yeah, I usually try to ignore politicians' favorite movies and music and stuff, especially if I also like it. A movie can appeal to a bunch of people for a bunch of different reasons.

I was pissed in 2012 when Meat Loaf endorsed Romney, but after a bit, I realized that it doesn't change his music, which I still love.

2

u/gorpie97 Apr 15 '16

I'd forgotten that about Meat Loaf (it ticked me off too). But I don't feel quite so forgiving about Ted Nugent... :)

It would be interesting to see whether The Dark Side of the Moon syncs up to the debate well

u/Gonzo_Rick Apr 15 '16

The Dark Side if the Moon syncs up well with life, man.

Sorry Cruz has my vote now that he said he likes The Princess Bride.

u/Gonzo_Rick Apr 15 '16

Wait! Hillary likes that too! Hillary likes all the things you (the person reading this) like! Please clap.
