    We had something very similar like that happen on a taping of our morning TV show in high chool. It was awesome, cussing on the air and everything. Needless to say, we could not go to air that morning.

    I really want to see Machete. Looks just too cool.

    I love the new ads, which end by showing Jessica Alba wearing almost nothing and the voice-over guy ending with the word nudity. Just brilliant.

    Guarantees a special "unrated" version of the DVD, too.

    Sheesh. See the movie first before getting all upset about the "race war" scene. It's nothing of the sort. It's more like a battle and there are white people involved on the side of Machete. Plus, it's not even all that well made.

    The first 30 minutes or so have the most politically charged items, but I think Rodriguez wimped out from going full bore like some of the '70s exploitation flicks he was trying to emulate.

    Read Breitbart's take, and the commenters. If you want to see good old-fashioned, undistilled racism and xenophobia...
    Besides, Rodriguez could not have known while he was making the movie how the whole immigration issue would explode. Goddard was probably still leading Brewer in the polls then.
