The plague of "Democracy"
I interrupt my normal postings to bring you this ridiculous summary of an upcoming movie I'm very excited about, based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller.

SYNOPSIS
"Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, 300 is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facing insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greece to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy."

Democracy? DEMOCRACY!?!? (that's two interobangs right there!) "Democracy" and "King" don't exactly go well together, dumbasses. A line in the sand for nationalism, maybe, or independent rule, or against imperial rule, but not for democracy.

Yeesh.
