Spaceballs and Ice Pirates Were Prophetic

The comic, but again stupid, masterpiece Spaceballs is also a prophecy being realized. There is a conspiracy out there to contaminate our air: Internal Utility Industry Documents Reveal Conspiracy to Violate Clean Air Laws and Harm Public Health:

    Internal electric utility documents reveal the industry has known for more than a decade that massive air pollution increases from coal-fired power plants violate the Clean Air Act. According to a recent Justice Department brief, the documents contradict oft-repeated complaints by industry officials that they had no idea they had run afoul of the Environmental Protection Agency's interpretation of the law until the agency filed the first of several high-profile enforcement lawsuits in 1999. . . .

    "Not since the tobacco industry's deceptions have we seen such a brazen corporate conspiracy to hide an intentional assault on public health," said John Walke, director of the clean air program at NRDC (the Natural Resources Defense Council). "This is smoking-gun evidence that the utility industry has been lying to the American people, its shareholders and the government for years."

Can't you see Bush, like the evil ruler portrayed by Mel Brooks, opening up some canned air while the masses suffocate? Contrast this with the scene from Total Recall in which the evil corporate owner of a Mars space station cuts off air from a segment of the station to punish the people living there (Maybe Philip K. Dick was a seer). Those Stillsuits aren't going to help much if we can't breathe. The poor will either suffocate or rise up to stop the capitalistic air-thieving bastards. Give us free. Give us breathe. Give us drink (this last one also serves as a great beer-drinking chant, but that's another story).

We should have another Boston Tea Party. Let's dump Coca Cola and Suez Degremont products. Let's kick ass on the Utility Air Regulatory Group and Duke Energy ("It was the Dukes," Trading Places was prophetic as well). Can you dig It? Can you dig it?!?

Yah, pretty much. Currently I'm trying to crack the code of the movie Gigli.

I think you have to play Dark Side of the Moon at the same time to get it.
