Television has gone through an evolution through the years. Not necessarily for the better. Television has gone from the boob tube to the idiot box and now to RUDE TV!

This movie satirizes today's TV with a gleeful savagery! It is a bit reminiscent of "Amazon Women on the Moon" but with a lot more bite. If you are sick of political correctness...this is the movie for you! Recently a man was fired for using the word "niggardly" in a speech. The word niggardly has nothing to do with the racial slur...he was fired just because it sounded like that word. Doesn't this tell you that political correctness has gone way too far?

The name of these cult comedy kamikazes is The Slashmen and the name is very apropos. They slash everything from body odor commercials to phone sex! One of the funniest segments is a religious show begging for money to pray away your fat...because the word fat is "faith" without the 'i' and the 'h'! They attack (without mercy) pornography, women's rights, Calvin Klein, stalking, rape, abortion and idiots. Another truly hysterical segment deals with a star recovering from drugs who is doing a court appointed PSA!

The music is by the "Hairfarmers". With a name like that, I had to mention them!

Runtime: 1:12

This film is available on VHS, cable or satellite.
