There’s a movie I seem to have no problem staying away from!

Probably exactly right – no court case means nothing to dramatize in a movie. (Well, assuming you’re not trying to make the next Human Centipede.)

Ha! That, or he was displeased with himself for wearing those pants.

I’d heard a little about it before, but didn’t realize the scale of its operations. There are some horrific pictures of its “experiments” online.

The fact they weren’t prosecuted for their crimes is sickening. Maybe that’s why there isn’t much talk of it?

Yikes! Fascinating. Very surprising that I haven’t heard of this before.

Fun find, but I find the shot of the disembodied head to be pretty hilarious. They both look like they’re being berated by a nagging wife.

“Can you believe she’s still complaining about me not taking out the recycling?”

“Yeah, it was the same thing when we were married. Frankly, I cut off my own head just to get away from it – lot of good THAT did me.”

He definitely looks the part.

What an amazingly 50′s-looking kid. Even more than the plane he evokes the era.

Shh! Better hope those gerbils didn’t hear that. Everyone knows they’re in league with their bigger brothers.

Beavers’ teeth aren’t the only thing that never stops growing: Their ambition also knows no bounds.

I’ve already said too much, however, and I’ve got to be careful. Remember the wood-chipper from Fargo? Yeah, that, but with beavers.
