Like you, we're on every mailing list that could possibly tell us what's going on this weekend and presumably make us cooler than everyone else. Once in a while, this can backfire. Besides receiving over 900 e-mails per weekday, we often have to ask ourselves why we still subscribe to mailing lists from organizations that have no common sense...
"Cut: Slicing Through the Myths of Circumcision" is a title almost too painful to type... and it's the name of a movie playing at Manhattan's Jewish Community Center on Tuesday. Ouch. Just check out the description below... our balls retracted violently at the mere mention of "cutting edge research." Ow. Ow. Ow.
Here are the rest of our nominees for most painful movie title in history. Can you think of other ones we may have missed?
- Octopussy
- Shaft Goes To Africa
- The Hudsucker Proxy (perhaps the next "Santorum," a.k.a. made-up dirty sex phrase?)
- Free Willy
- Bend It Like Beckham (We'd never heard of David Beckham when this came out, so we thought it meant... you know...)
- Death Bed: The Bed That Eats
- How To Stuff A Wild Bikini (insert imagined comment "I'd know how to stuff that bikini" here...)
- Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (yuck-- we don't want to know what's in this obviously old-perv's closet)
- and, for shits, Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot!
And from the JCC e-mail:
