			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wrote this awhile ago, but never shot it. So here, website. Have a script about the implosion of Chrysler.</p>
<p><em>Exterior, Chrysler factory, day.</em></p>
<p><em>A whistle blows. Three guys in hard hats enter. They sit on a bench to eat lunch. Clyde takes out a newspaper.</em></p>
<p>VERN<br />
Hey, you guys hear the penny finally dropped? Yeah, after years of layoffs, Chrysler’s declaring bankruptcy today.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Ain’t that a hell of a thing. What’s supposed to happen to us, huh? Honest, hardworking guys, the backbone of American manufacturing, who gave the best years of our lives to the Chrysler corporation.</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
Says here it was a combination of spiraling manufacturing costs and inferior quality of the product.</p>
<p>VERN<br />
Spiraling costs? Pshh, that’s crazy. We’re a well oiled machine. And inferior quality like what?</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
The example they give is the steering on the Town &amp; Country.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Nah, that’s ridiculous. I took a new Town &amp; Country off the assembly line last night, steering was as tight as a drum. Vern, how bout the one you took?</p>
<p>VERN<br />
Well, to tell you the truth the steering was looser than I prefer, but the other three I snuck off the assembly line this week steered like a fuckin’ angel dream. Like baby Jesus lived in the suspension.</p>
<p><span id="more-339"></span>CLYDE<br />
Hold on, hold on. Bill, you stole four new cars this week? Snatched ‘em right off the assembly line?</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Sure. Why?</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
You crazy knucklehead, I told you, you’re gonna get caught. You gotta wait till they get off the assembly line to the paint lot. No one misses ‘em there.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Sound advice as usual, Clyde, which I will heed from now on. But back to this bankruptcy thing. I just don’t see what could be behind this ‘spiraling costs’ notion. We run such a tight ship at Chrysler. Where could that wasted money be going?</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
Well, I don’t know. When I helped myself to one of them new Sebrings I noticed it had six cupholders. Six cupholders! Who needs that many? I was so dumsquizzled I pulled it over, gave it to a homeless man, and walked back to the plant to take another one just to see if they were all like that. You guys, <em>they are</em>.</p>
<p><em>Clyde shakes his head.</em></p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
Six cupholders. Now that’s what I call waste.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Sheesh. It sure is.</p>
<p>VERN<br />
You been taking a lot of them Sebrings lately, Clyde. Whatta ya been doing with ‘em?</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
Oh, you know, a Sebring for my mom’s birthday, a PT Cruiser as a wedding present for my daughter, a minivan for my son when he hits a homer in Little League. These memorable occasions, they add up.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
As a family man you have many obligations.</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
True that, true that. How bout you, Bill? What you been doing with the cars?</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Oh, just the usual, fellas. Still trying to break the record for the world’s largest pile of brand-new cars.</p>
<p>VERN<br />
Yeah? How’s that going?</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Not great. I was so close. The guy from the Guinness Book of World Records was due to come check it out the next week, but then wouldn’t you know it, the pile fell down.</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
Ain’t that always the way.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Yeah. Squashed my neighbor’s aboveground pool, he took me to small claims court, it was a whole thing. So the record is still held by some jerkoff from Ford.</p>
<p>VERN<br />
Those Ford trucks are so rectangular, they must stack right up like Tetris. It is not your fault, Bill, that you work for a company that values sleek design.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Thank you, Vern. How about you?</p>
<p>VERN<br />
Myself, I am very active in our local demolition derby.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Sure, but that’s just the weekends. What do you do with your Monday through Thursday cars?</p>
<p>VERN<br />
Well, lately I’ve been - aw, jeez, you guys’ll think it’s stupid.</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
What?</p>
<p>VERN<br />
Well, you know how when you were a kid you’d tape two colored pencils together and make one drawing with two colored lines side by side? Well, I says to myself, if it works with two parallel colored pencils and a piece of tape, might it work just as well with two parallel cars with their windows rolled down and a hockey stick jammed through both steering wheels?</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
(whistles)<br />
That is very original thinking, Vern. So does it work?</p>
<p>VERN<br />
Not as well as you’d think.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
You know, guys, I been thinkin’. Is it possible that we are, in some small way, contributing to Chrysler’s quote-unquote “spiraling costs” by each taking a car a day?</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
I don’t follow.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Well, think about it. A new Chrysler is worth between $15,000 and $45,000. There’s three of us, so multiply that by three. And we each take one every day.</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
Unless we’re sick.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Right. And when did these budget problems begin?</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
Says here around 1986. Hey, that’s when we started at the plant!</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Exactly. A Town &amp; Country here, a Sebring there, you think it’s no big deal, but before you know it you’ve taken eight billion dollars’ worth of cars.</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
But come one, that’s small potatoes. Chrysler’s in the hole for -</p>
<p><em>He checks the paper.</em></p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
&#8230; eight point six billion dollars.</p>
<p>VERN<br />
Wow. So what you’re saying is that our benefits have been slashed, our friends have been laid off, and now the whole multimillion dollar corporation has gone plooie - all because three guys from the carburetor quality control department happen to enjoy unwinding by driving to the field by the airport and making pictures for the planes out of cars?</p>
<p>BILL<br />
That is what I’m saying.</p>
<p>VERN<br />
Wow.</p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
Huh.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Makes you think.</p>
<p><em>Beat. They contemplate. The shift whistle blows. The guys get up and start to exit.</em></p>
<p>CLYDE<br />
Well, back to work.</p>
<p>BILL<br />
Yeah. Hey Vern, I’ll give you a PT Cruiser for that turkey sandwich.</p>
<p>VERN<br />
Throw in a Sebring and you’ve got a deal.</p>
<p>END.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-325" title="gmail1" src="http://melindataub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/gmail1.jpg" alt="gmail1" width="500" height="206" /></p>
<p>Dear Gmail Customer,</p>
<p>First off, thanks for bearing with us. You&#8217;ve had a  Gmail account since 2004, which makes you one of our longest users. You  stuck with us through the years that Gmail was in beta as we worked out  the kinks. We&#8217;re sending you this email to let you know how much we  appreciate your business, and to request immediate payment of $3,384.55.</p>
<p>We  know you must have been wondering all these years why you weren&#8217;t  getting billed regularly for your Gmail use - you must have realized we  weren&#8217;t making our money off those little text ads no one reads. Our  bad. Gmail grew much faster than expected, and we just couldn&#8217;t get the  structure in place fast enough to send out regular bills. But now Gmail  has been out of beta for almost a year and we&#8217;re finally ready to send  you monthly bills for your gmail use.</p>
<p>By now you&#8217;ve probably  noticed that your Gmail account is frozen, and that this is the only  email you can open. That won&#8217;t be true for long - everything will go  back to normal shortly, unless you don&#8217;t pay your bill and we delete  your account entirely, as well as blocking your access to Google Docs, G  Chat, and any site that uses Google AdWords (Knew those would come in  handy somehow!). Of course we know how important Google&#8217;s services are  to the modern surfer, so we&#8217;ll make sure you don&#8217;t lose <em>all</em> your  data from the last six years. We&#8217;ll do our best to post the emails and  search date you&#8217;d least want to lose - sensitive personal emails,  passwords, account numbers, that sort of thing - on a public site where  you can access it whenever you want. And so can anyone else. Convenient!</p>
<p>We&#8217;re aware that this is a  lot of money to pay all at once. As always, Google&#8217;s philosophy is  &#8220;Don&#8217;t be evil,&#8221; so if you don&#8217;t feel you can make full immediate  payment on the outstanding balance on your Google account, we&#8217;d like to  offer an alternative. Google will forgive your balance if you agree to  be a beta tester in our new initiative, Google Scion. As a Scion  participant, your family will have a unique educational opportunity to  grant legal custody of one of your children to the Google corporation,  to be raised in our new code farm in Mountain View, California. We  prefer first-born children (tradition!) but feel free to substitute any  younger sibling who&#8217;s demonstrated an aptitude for C++.</p>
<p>Thanks  again for your business!</p>
<p>Love,<br />
Google.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the Oscars are tomorrow, and the feel-good Sandra Bullock film The Blind Side is nominated for Best Picture. This has served me to remind me of something: how weirded out I am by The Blind Side. I haven&#8217;t seen it, but every time I saw the trailer it made me uncomfortable and I couldn&#8217;t quite figure out why. Finally I realized what it was: The Blind Side is the same movie as My Friend Flicka except with a black child instead of a horse.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t believe me? Let&#8217;s go to the trailer screencaps.</p>
<p>Nice blonde lady: Who&#8217;s that wild, troubled creature no one can tame?</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-314 alignnone" title="white-ladies" src="http://melindataub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/white-ladies-300x198.jpg" alt="Pretty blonde lady: Who's that wild, troubled creature no one can tame?" width="300" height="198" /></p>
<p>Why, it&#8217;s a black teenager/horse!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-317" title="black-teen-horse" src="http://melindataub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/black-teen-horse-300x198.jpg" alt="black-teen-horse" width="300" height="198" /></p>
<p>No way can you civilize that black teenager/horse!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-313" title="tim-mcgraw" src="http://melindataub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/tim-mcgraw-300x198.jpg" alt="tim-mcgraw" width="300" height="198" /></p>
<p>Shut up, Tim McGraw!<br />
<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-315" title="shut-up-tim-mcgraw" src="http://melindataub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/shut-up-tim-mcgraw-300x198.jpg" alt="shut-up-tim-mcgraw" width="300" height="198" /></p>
<p>No one better try to take away my black teenager/horse! You hear me, drug dealers/glue factory?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-312" title="nooo" src="http://melindataub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/nooo-274x300.jpg" alt="nooo" width="274" height="300" /></p>
<p>Wheeee!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AHMED<br />
The time is nigh! The Captain has turned off the Fasten Seatbelt sign and we may move about the cabin! Now, Sayed, we will retrieve our carry-on luggage from the compartment above us, take out our detonators and explode our gunpowder-filled pants, blowing these infidels to kingdom come! Death to America!</p>
<p>SAYED<br />
Yes! Death to America!</p>
<p>AHMED<br />
Death to America!</p>
<p>STEWARDESS<br />
Something to drink?</p>
<p>SAYED<br />
Yes. Could I have some cran-apple juice with a splash of seltzer please?</p>
<p>AHMED<br />
&#8230;</p>
<p>SAYED<br />
Sorry, is it my turn again? Death to America!</p>
<p>AHMED<br />
Sayed, what are you doing? We are supposed to be exploding the plane right now!</p>
<p>SAYED<br />
But I just started drinking my juice.</p>
<p><span id="more-293"></span></p>
<p>AHMED<br />
Forget the juice! We are here to die in a glorious rain of fire!</p>
<p>SAYED<br />
We can die in a fire rain right now, after you were snippy with me, or we can wait five minutes, and right now I can spend my last earthly moments enjoying the perfect balance of tart cranberry and sweet apple juice, leaving the glorious blend of flavors on my tongue as I ascend to heaven. I only ever get this stuff on planes for some reason.</p>
<p><em>Ahmed watches Sayed savor his drink. He stands up abruptly.</em></p>
<p>AHMED<br />
Miss! Could I get some juice please?</p>
<p>STEWARDESS<br />
Of course, sir. What kind?</p>
<p>AHMED<br />
Cran-apple.</p>
<p>SAYED<br />
With a splash of seltzer.</p>
<p>AHMED<br />
With a splash of seltzer.</p>
<p><em>The stewardess hands Ahmed his drink.</em></p>
<p>AHMED<br />
Hmm. You&#8217;re right about the seltzer. I like the bubbles.</p>
<p><em>They drink their juice.</em></p>
<p>AHMED<br />
All right, Sayed. We&#8217;ve had our final juice. Are you ready to rain fear upon the land of the infidels?</p>
<p>SAYED<br />
Hold on, there&#8217;s an ice cube stuck to the bottom of the cup.</p>
<p>AHMED<br />
Sayed!</p>
<p>SAYED<br />
All right, all right, fine. Let&#8217;s do this thing.</p>
<p><em>They start to get up. The Fasten Seatbelt sign dings on.</em></p>
<p>CAPTAIN&#8217;S VOICE<br />
Ladies and gentlemen, we&#8217;re now about an hour from our destination–</p>
<p>SAYED<br />
What? That&#8217;s way before landing! Why must we sit?</p>
<p>CAPTAIN&#8217;S VOICE<br />
–and as per the TSA&#8217;s new antiterrorism regs, all passengers will be restricted to their seats for the remainder of the flight.</p>
<p>AHMED<br />
That&#8217;s all right, I also put some backup detonators in the luggage under our seats. We&#8217;ll just put them in our laps and—</p>
<p>CAPTAIN&#8217;S VOICE<br />
You also can&#8217;t have anything in your laps.</p>
<p>AHMED<br />
Good thing I disguised it as a book.</p>
<p>CAPTAIN&#8217;S VOICE<br />
Not even a book.</p>
<p>SAYED<br />
Curses! It&#8217;s like the TSA knew that terrorists&#8217; fondness for juice always leads them to delay their attacks until the last hour of the flight. If only we had attacked earlier!</p>
<p>AHMED<br />
But then we wouldn&#8217;t have gotten our juice.</p>
<p>SAYED<br />
Yeah. Totally worth it.</p>
<p><em>They high five.</em></p>
