What killed the dinosaurs? Retardation.

Reviewers seem to like the new Disney film, Meet the Robinsons. But this scene sticks out:

Where is the deafness lobby on this? The fucking Tyrannosaurus Rex has little chicken arms and nubs on its head for ears.

If you can't view the clip...get a better computer. Jesus Christ, they cost practically nothing these days. Zing!

Really, though, you probably already saw the full promo trailer on TV--what? Disney puts its movie trailers on TV now? Non-stop? For what purpose?

Anyway, there's a Tyrannosaur, and he's chasing a little boy, and the boy runs behind a rock and the dinosaur can't quite get his giant head wedged in there to snatch him.

And when the guy it's working for (don't ask. Plot hole much?) says, "why aren't you seizing the boy?" the Tyrannosaur stands up and shakes its head and says, in a muffled voice that sounds exactly like a deaf person who's speaking while signing, "Because I have this big head, and little arms!" and it then waves its little Thalidomide arms. It's even subtitled, because the sound that comes from the creature's mouth translates to "Be-uss ah ha is bih heh, and li-ul ahms!"

Is it hilarious? Yes. Not $10-movie-ticket-purchase hilarious, but still very funny and very, very mean. Hey, I have this big mouth, and this little, tiny heart, OK?

The reviews are in. And not one person, other than me, thought that was a really funny jab, with a shit-crusted knife, at deaf people.
