Has anyone seen this documentary, I watched it last night on SBS and I found it very interesting, and enlightening to the situation of class antagonism in America.

Haven't seen it.

However, class antagonism is getting out of control. Why, just last week, some rich jerk came down from his mansion in the hills, parked his BMW on my lawn, and mocked me for my failure to own one. :( True story.

Edit: Oh wait just remembered I'm a socialist. There are always going to be class antoganisms and the rich will always exploit until a system of true equality can emerge. Which is why we need to change the US into a bunch of socialist communes wherein everybody within a town is equal.

A documentary musical? And is it really the first, what about Decline of Western Civilization?

Not really what you wanted us to talk about, but I haven't even heard of it so it's the only contribution I got...

Why would a mansion dweller be driving a BMW? That's sort of an 'entry level' prosperity car. Unless it was a Z8 or something.

I'm not saying I have a hard time believing this, I just don't know how to end that sentence...

I plead insomnia, your Honor. :p For not thinking clearly enough to invent something fanciful enough to convey that I was joking. ;) As for the BMW, I do think some of them are pretty far up there as to price - maybe the sport variety? :p

Maybe provide a couple details then, to help us? ;) Your first pose was a little sparse on details.

Oh, what kind? :)

On topic, I don't ordinarily click links (security and all) but I did click the one the OP provided, and it's just a short paragraph saying the documentary is great, award-winning, etc. Give us some details, viewers! :p
