Fox Business: Why Does The LEGO Movie Hate America?
Fox Business Network's Charles Payne is very indignant that The LEGO Movie, the weekend's top-grossing film, is "pushing its anti-business message to our kids" because the villain is an evil businessman. He also remarks that the character "looks a little bit like Mitt Romney," which is maybe a stretch.
Payne reprises the Fox complaint that 2011's The Muppets, which grossed $165 million worldwide, was a deeply anti-capitalist movie as well. It's almost as if Fox anchors are made of felt and have Roger Ailes's hand up their ass, controlling their every word and movement. There is a word for that, we think.
If the bad guy was an unemployed homeless person they would be complaining he is a "taker".
Rather than grousing, why don't these guys embrace the "wisdom of the free market" and make their own movies?
