What Would John McCain Watch?
Weekend moviegoers cast their votes on cruelty
Lately, Congress has been wrestling with the acceptability of torture. This weekend, moviegoers made clear their thoughts on the subject, via their attendance at new films.
| Title | Average | Total | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hostel | $9,157 | $20,100,000 | 1 |
| Grandma’s Boy | $1,426 | $2,875,000 | 13 |
| BloodRayne | $1,218 | $1,200,000 | 19 |
The verdict: maiming and evisceration = acceptable torture. Adam Sandler productions and obscure videogame rehashes = unacceptable torture.
More views on the subject will be aired next Sunday in a similar contest, when TV viewers tell us whether they’d rather watch Jack Bauer’s merciless interrogations on 24, or The War At Home.
