Kendra Kirai: I've been wondering for a long time...would the INSANE lengths gone to by Beuford T. Justice in Smokey And the Bandit count for this? And if not, where would it go? So many things fit that movie..but also don't fit that movie, according to the writeups.

Doctor Worm: Same question, different movie: The Blues Brothers are pursued by hundreds of highway patrolmen, city cops, SWAT, army, Coast Guard, etc. for nothing more than (admittedly many) traffic violations.


Echo Hotel: is there a separate article for "Reality Shows" exhibiting this as their main hook? I'm thinking "My super Sweet 16" "Brides Behaving Badly" and others like whatever that Paris Hilton show was, to a lesser extent though. If there isn't an article should there be?
Mr Death: Okay, the Spider-man entry is nothing but a ridiculous angry rant, so I'm removing it. Original is here:

  • Peter, "Spider-man," Parker constantly whines about minor, personal issues. He causes many deaths due to incompetence and stupidity but rarely mentions them. Had he stopped being one of the worst superhroes ever, allowing competent authorities to handle crimes both the personal problems and deaths would end. He continues to fight however and has at the least committed multiple counts of assault and negligent homicide. Regarding the assaults: On the rare occasions when Parker wins a fight, he mocks the loser. Paraphrasing Terry Pratchett, anyone who beats someone up and makes a witty comment is a criminal. Parker's mockery shows absolutely no sympathy for his victims. He only cares about personal problems, everyone else can go fuck himself.
