A Little Dark Humor...

So, last night we settled down to watch the latest movie Steve ordered from Netflix, The Hills Have Eyes.

The Hills Have Eyes, as far as I know, is a movie about people driving cross country and being pursued by inbred country savages who want to eat their brains. This is pretty consistant with the movies Steve chooses to watch, being a fan of the horror movie genre.

But last night, after putting the DVD in the player, we realized we were watching commercials. A Life Insurance commercial. We were confused. Why did they put these ads in front of this horror film? Was the DVD playing? Yes, yes it was... how odd. And you know how Steve feels about ads on DVD's, and if you didn't, you do now.

But then, then we started noticing that there was something... well, off, about these adds. And then this show started playing... it looked like the type of show you might find on the History Channel, one of those, well, historic documentaries. But it was wrong. Oh, so wrong.

Ladies and Gentleman, we were watching CSA, The Confederate States of America, a mockumentary about what this country would be like if The South has won the civil war.

OH MY GOOD LORD!

It was actually really interesting, if you can watch the offensive material and understand that it is, well, supposed to be offensive and it might be OK to laugh. Besides, there are really funny "commercials" and clips included, including a musical version of Gone With The Wind, only caled something ese and with a twisted plot... and a clip from a film called "I Married and abolitionist!"

So, the movie snuck up on us, but we enjoyed it. It was really... interesting. We'll have to watch the horror movie about the crazy zombie country bumpkins some other day. And as for the title of todays post... oh! Look at the time! I have to go.
