But that it has a trailer is even weirder. And then the trailer itself is the weirdest part of all. “Dogs will always return to their vomit”? IT PUTS THE THRILLER IN THE BASKET, AND IT PUTS THE BASKET IN THE FIREPLACE.

'Sup, pogs!
Let's all go to the movies, and let's all see the same movie, and let's discuss it here.
Gabe loves fan fiction. You Can Make It Up features his own personal alternate adventures starring some of our favorite characters.
After watching Death Sentence, a terrible movie starring Kevin Bacon as a father in search of vigilante justice directed by Saw's James Wan, Gabe embarked on The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time. This is his sad journey.
The media doesn’t want you to know this, but in 1913 Woodrow Wilson invented dog vomit and said all Americans had to eat it three times a day. It’s true, look it up!
Luckily we have this man to reveal the truth.
The Flying Harry Potter Text really made me nauseous, but The bit about Vomit was the sole line that actually rang true.
Those elements were both vomit-inducing, for me.
This makes a lot more sense if you imagine it diagrammed on a chalkboard.
WE COULD ONLY WISH THAT THE INFORMATION, SO BRILLIANTLY ORGANIZED AND GIVEN AT HIS OWN PERIL WERE MERELY THE FIGMENT OF GLEN’S IMAGINATION !

Be there! Be there for the blog battle of the century! YouTube commenters vs. EW commenters!
EW: Castaway50
Not hard to see that nodnarb and Dory are left wing liberals. I think you’re just afraid to admit that Glenn Beck has been telling the truth about people like you! It’s your type that don’t want to be fingered and pointed out to the rest of us. And he backs it up with reliable sources. Stupid is as stupid does. So, when you finally going to wise up and see the truth???

Please stay in Britain with all your scum bag muslims….PS our politics are not any of you DAMN BUSINESS……didn’t you people learn anything from the AMERICAN REVOLUTION..the reason you are overrun with Jihadist, is that your greedy elitist universities wanted top dollar…aka….out of state/country tuition…..Happy Spending….Hows that health care working for you???? LOL……..
Sir, I must object. My type desperately wants to be fingered.
Happy spending, you GodDAMN LIBERAL!
I read that last bit as “-Pat. Ewwww, Commenter.”
It makes sense that they would use a poem by the man who wrote White Man’s Burden, since that’s basically Beck’s thing
His thing is also to have bad luck when it comes to choosing a motion graphics studio that has good taste.
He may have requested this commercial to the exacting specifications of his audience’s intelligence level, but visual typographic halfassed puns are, in my opinion, worse than reading one’s power point slides verbatim to the people you’re presenting to. Boo. ::nerd rant over::
At least he didn’t use Comic Sans amirite incredimarc!
Glenn Beck Approved High-5
I can’t wait for the director’s cut of this trailer:
Ugh when I scroll quickly it looks sort of like “Fool’s finger banging” which I never want to associate with Glenn Beck Ever *shudder*
Yeah, I’ve never gotten the “read powerpoint slides verbatim” thing. I was once in a teacher staff meeting (we were being “trained” on how to administer state tests) and the “teacher specialist” got so bored of reading her own slides that she started whining and asked if someone from the audience would finish reading the rest of her slides verbatim for her!
Good Grief (followed by a massive eye roll). Sounds like Glenn Beck’s explaining abilities are rubbing off on Real Americans!
“hey! power point is my thing, douchebag!” – al gore
I wonder if Glenn Beck will allow his book to be part of one of the most pervasive & socialist organizations out there: The Public Library
dun dun dunnnnn
is somebody hating on the library? count us in…
damn library computers….
I’m actually in school to become a librarian & the whole P&R thing about libraries being evil was so damn funny. I loved it
“Bitch-ass Book-Jockeys!”
I refuse to watch, as I am allergic to Glenn Beck.
My cat returns to her vomit too. The other day she barfed and I cleaned it up and then she was just rolling all over the spot where it was and I was like “CROCKY. STOP. THIS IS AMERICA.”
crocky is a great name for a cat.
Thanks! We named her that because she is actually a crocodile.
Aww guys come on! This looks fun!
How did Glenn Beck manage to get Rorschach to do the voice-over?
i wonder if glenn beck cried alot writing this book and i wonder what a tear stained glenn beck manuscript would go for on ebay.
I smell a YCMIU
Some pics of the manuscript actually leaked today:
i smell the first videogum book club pick! please liveblog reading this. please. pleeeeaaaaaase.
Sounds more like a T1FTT Assignment (which we haven’t had in ages).
Glenn Beck IS an Overton Window. From Wikipedia:
Other formulations of the process created after Overton’s death add the concept of moving the window by deliberately promoting ideas even less acceptable than the previous “outer fringe” ideas[4]. That makes those old fringe ideas look less extreme, and thereby acceptable. The idea is that priming the public with fringe ideas intended to be and remain unacceptable, will make the real target ideas seem more acceptable by comparison.
Sound familiar? Fucking terrifying.
so basically the “Overton Window” is just Glenn Beck fucking with opposite day?
“I’m not a Nazi, or a ‘Jew-Lover’.” -Glenn Beck, on Opposite Day.
Logic circuits are overloaded!!!!
It’s what happens when you science-types split the ACORN.
Whoops, “comment reference clarification error 404″: I forgot that this wasn’t covered by Videogum this week: http://mediamatters.org/blog/201006070018
Love the amazon tags:
“Hey, smart guy.” I bet that’s what everyone’s always saying to him.
Not to be all Prof. History over here (except that it is actually my job, so, whatever) but the whole ‘dog returning to its vomit’ thing is a mainstay of medieval Inquisitors’ handbooks and anti-Jewish legislation, where vomit = heresy. Often the dog is implied. Two examples, because of the motto we say at historians’ parties (there are no parties) is: Always Be Providing Evidence To Back Up Your Assertions.
(1) From the seventh century Visigothic law code called the Visigothic Code (awesome title, very original): “Every Jew who renounces his former errors, and is converted to the holy faith of Christ, shall inscribe in his confession the Christian symbol; shall promise that he will under no circumstances return to his errors, as he would to his vomit; and shall profess that henceforth he will, in compliance with the terms of his written confession, in no way change anything which we have included in this law.”
(2) From the trial of Joan of Arc (1431): “But the fire of her [Joan's] pride, which had seemed quenched, was revived by demonic winds and enkindled into destructive flames, and the miserable woman returned to her errors and lying follies that she had earlier vomited forth. Finally, as ecclesiastical sanctions dictate, to prevent her from infecting other members of Christ, she was handed over to the judgment of secular authority, which determined that her body should be consumed by fire.” (D. Hobbins, ed., The Trial of Joan of Arc (Harvard Univ. Press, 2005), pp. 210-211.)
Lieutenant, I think you may be my favorite new monster.
Oh boy, happy birthday to ME!
Glenn Beck, more like Glenn Fart! Am I right, you guys? Fart jokes are always funny. always.
This post is literally yesterday’s news and no one is gonna read this comment, but I’m an ADULT with A JOB, so give me a tiny break here: I work in publishing (I’m the lead female character in a romcom, but instead of being Hollywood mousy, I’m just real world mousy, aka ugly). Last year we had to work on Glenn Beck’s Christmas book, and once the first person finished reading it and shared the TWIST! ending, it became an endless source of amusement. So thanks, Glenn Beck, for pulling the “It was all a dream!” ending. Thank you for the laughs. Laughs free of any real mirth, because working in books like that made me souless. But still laffs!
Cool story, bro.
