    I thought the joke was pretty blatant, but god damn, lots of woosh going on here.

    This just reminded me that it’s almost been a full year since Charlie Kirk said something racist.

      He did lean to the left, and the media stopped reporting anything he said afterwards.

      I still think it is great he got to live out his percicution fantasy before God called him home… Possibly nitro express.

    But the real question is did he respond. Can talk to a corpse all day long but I doubt it would respond with words.

      Could you imagine being this actor (Terry Kiser)?

      “We want you to play a dead guy for the entire film. The title character. You have like 10 minutes of being an alive jerk, then you just spend the rest of the movie limp. Lay on sofas and chairs a lot, lean on a few walls, get carried around, do absolutely nothing. Here’s your paycheck.”

      “Wow, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity as an actor to get paid to do nothing!”

      “Good news! SEQUEL!”

        The role also required a high pain tolerance, as both he and his stunt double were dropped repeatedly while filming and had to stay limp to not ruin the take. I read Kiser ended up with 3 cracked ribs and some nerve issues that took a while to heal from his neck flopping around so much. He more than earned his paycheck.

        I mean, he did a bang up job of it fwiw, he took the job they usually give extras and turned it into a starring role

        I imagine there would have been hours of footage in which the other actors succeeded in making him respond (i.e., what they call “corpsing” in theatre) and they have to retake the scene.

            I always thought of the Herman Cain award being given out when the cause of death was something the person said wasn’t real.

            Like Herman Cain and COVID.

            McConnell is just ancient and evil. There’s no award for then an ancient evil dies, just relief.
