So this is my first flash film. It was a class project that started out as a conversation with a friend.

If you think it's bad now, you should have seen it pre-edit. My instructor took a lot of the jokes out that she thought would offend people. I thought it would have been hilarious.

Edit(05/07/2008): Getting positive AND negative feedback! I love this! AND featured on the front page? I vote best day ever! Oh, and as a side note? This isn't a movie advocating rebellion or taking down the capitalist empire or anything like that.

Edit(30/07/2008): Finally got around to looking at all the reviews. Just... Just Wow.... Some people told me they loved it, others said I was uneducated on the subject, some advocated genocide of the human race...

For those of you who are wondering about the edits: they were in the script, never actually animated. The main one I can remember was that originally, "People capable of bringing life into the world" was supposed to be "People with vaginas". For some reason, some women find the word "Vagina" offensive. Meanwhile, guys continue to play games of "Penis". (Where two guys say "penis!" back and forth, louder each time, until one of them chickens out and doesn't want to go louder. Try it at the mall, it's tones of fun.)

One edit she wanted me to do but I didn't do was change "Old white men" to "Old Caucasian men". At first I didn't know why, but later on in the year I realized she didn't think I was white. The latter sent me in an identity crisis for a few weeks.

I think if I hadn't done any edits to the script, I would have gotten a certain point across. A lot of the people who didn't like the film told me it was because it was stereotypical and biased.

Really. A parody propaganda movie was stereotypical and biased. Imagine that.

For those of you who don't realize this stereotypes may be wrong, but they are really, REALLY funny. I'm french, and when I watch a french man portrayed on television, it's usually a stinky guy with a beret, a striped black and white shirt and a mustache. Guess what? We're usually clean, our women shave, and I wear t-shirts and jeans! I don't even KNOW someone who's eaten frog legs. And a bad stereotype is usually funnier too. You think you'd watch a sitcom with a guy name frenchy if frenchy had a chiseled jaw and pouty lips? NO! Not unless frenchy was an idiot. And then guess what? Mimboes are a negative stereotype! So there!
