Just saw Super Size Me. (Only took about 4 months to come to Norway...)
What a brilliant, funny, disturbing film.
Favourite moment.. I think maybe during the picture quiz. That kid who guessed George W Bush when shown a picture of Jesus.
Must say - I'm still very happy with being a veggie.

Almost did't go to see it though. Before I left, my TV was on in the background - and just as I was going to turn it off, I see footage from Beslan. Murdered children on stretchers on the ground, and parents searching to see if their children was among them. My god, I just.... What a barbaric, dispicalble act. What kind of human beings could plan to take the lives of children to further a cause.
It just.. I don't know really, just felt paralyzed. To my horror, I often find myself feeling very little when I see terrible footage on the news, but this just felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach.
But then, like always, I distanced myself from it and went to see a funny film... I scare myself.
