I definitely see some stupid ones, next time I'm on I'll pay attention and post more here. Mostly I'd say a lot of the ones that I come across are just really unimaginative, especially when it comes to women. "Sexy, exotic, beautiful, yet innocent..." ::gags::

I love the idea of this thread and can't wait to read them! After we collect some good ones, I'll remove any identifying specifics and try and turn it into a mocking column for Working Actor!

I found this on LA Casting and I for some reason find it offensive.


Call No Man American
Feature Film, Non-Union Posted: 7/3/2009
Union Status Non-Union
Rate The greatest film ever made.

Synopsis
The year is 2050. Economic depression, civil war, and disease have spiraled the once United States of America into a state of anarchy and destitution. Southern California is the stage of this post-Apocalyptic film. The lands are divided between four different factional lords. Mexicans control food and produce, Vietnamese control oil refining and production, The Jews control water and sanitation., and the strongest and most powerful faction, the so called "purest" of the Americans, representing European and White protestant roots, control electricity and waste . Each fuedal lord has his own land and resource, each his own vassals and peasants. The countryside is wrought with barbarian and renegade vandals. Vassals and peasants have sworn their allegiance to their lords in return for protection from the barbary of the countryside. In these chaotic times, each faction wages war with another to fight for ultimate supremacy and lordship of the lands.

We're going to be racially pure in 2050? Umm... somehow I don't think that's going to happen.

Yeah, I'm busting chops today.


I used to read both boards. I love that board, but one is enough for me these days. Don't worry, I don't think anyone's getting cash or credit for starting these threads.... Wink
