{Rule #5 « Rule #6 » T•of•C} § ≡ One of an ongoing series of posts in which I promulgate, in my not-so-humble opinion, sensible rules for a society gone mad.

... keep on employing their dribbling retarded offspring as advisors, their web fingered restricted gene pool wives as "support staff". They will keep on boozing in the subsidized bars (Yes it really is true that MP's can not actually organise a piss up in a brewery) in Westminster that we fund, all the while putting on taxes on your pint and calling for more restrictions on...

... Beorn the bear-man... The way I phrased it to Weta, I said we would keep the DNA in the same gene pool as the Rings trilogy, but that we would generate a different type of character. For example, in the trilogy most of the creatures are brutish or inarticulate. In The Hobbit, the creatures speak: Smaug has beautiful lines of dialogue; the Great Goblin has beautiful lines of...

Carmakers called it rebadging, and everyone else called it lazy, cheap design work. Changing out the grille and tail lamps does not make an extraordinary vehicle.
