We think of "sane" and "insane" as mutually exclusive, but mounting evidence brings me always closer to the uncomfortable conclusion that sanity seems, most often, dependent upon the circumstances and the subjects being considered.

I watched Brüno again the other day, and while I still think it is an insanely funny and great movie, this time it particularly scared the shit out of me during all the Alabama scenes with the gay converter guy and the homophobes and the people who threw chairs at Sacha Baron Cohen while he was making out with Lutz. I just can't believe that there are people who would really SHOOT other people just for making out with persons of the same sex. It's outrageous.
