04/19/2004 Will Disney: I liked the beginning pretty well. Explosively-angry outbusts as puncutation for Shorts seems to be a little bit rote these days but maybe this one is weird enough to make it work.
04/19/2004 John Slocum (3): good, a little bit funny, not so inspirational. The funniest part is that the child laughs after being excoriated.
04/19/2004 Jon Matza (4): This probably deserves a 3, but I have a weak spot for shorts that pertain to the psychological abuse of children.
04/19/2004 Vampa1978 (2): eh...it was predictable and unfunny. This is something you see at a frat boy skit night or something uncivilized like that.
04/19/2004 Ferucio P. Chhretan (4): frat boy skit night?
04/19/2004 Vampa1978: isn't that what frat boys do - in addition to community service and rape?
04/19/2004 Ferucio P. Chhretan: This clearly needs to be researched further.
Has anyone in the acmeshorts community ever seen a "frat boy skit night?"
If so, please fill us in on what happens.
04/19/2004 Benny Maniacs (3): Frat boy skit nights were just these stupid events we'd throw, and each of us would have our own little talent we'd make a skit out of. That's all.
04/19/2004 Ferucio P. Chhretan: Pray tell, Mr. Maniacs...What is your "little talent"?
04/20/2004 Moe-Ron (2): moe-ron didn't like this at all. tres labored.
