    I knew that this could happen. Someone is always slipping pornography into my computer.

    Wait 'til the kiddies get an eyeful of Thomas the Tank Engine backing it up for Percy. Sir Topham Bottom has a darling cameo role.

    All you need to know about the current Mike Myers demographic: A Brooklyn grandma checked out one of his movies, on VHS, from a library.

    Wait until I start slipping clips of Bang Bus episodes into Little Genius DVD's.

    The parents will thank me for it.

    Thank you for reminding me why I'd rather pay for NetFlix than rent movies for free from the 'berry. Austin Powers is soooooo twelve years ago.

    OK, Dovie...we need to have a little talk. You're kind of giving Jews a bad name. And we already have some bad names. (Shlomo? Moishie? Yossi? Have some pity.) I don't know if you know, but not everyone likes us. You know what makes it worse? When you run your mouth off like an idiot, while wearing a kippah, no less.



    Here are the possible options in response to your outburst:



    1. Library staff can start watching every single video when it's returned to prevent recurrence of such incidents, leaving them no time to actually, you know, reshelve books and stuff.

    2. Libraries can stop carrying videos.

    3. You can be completely ignored.



    Which of those three were you going for, Motek?

    For the record, I have yet to see a pornographic video that I find more tasteless than Austin Powers in Goldmember, so I am not swayed by his argument.

    @Colonel Mustard: Ugh, so true. But even if it was the original, how much more grossed out could grandma have been over porn than over a fur-covered Mike Myers and fembots with poison gas nipples? I'm guessing the only way she could tell the movie had changed was by the lack of body hair.

    I'm pretty sure this guy's on the take from the Bloomberg campaign, to provide the public with an idea of what sort of alternative city politicians exist out there in the wilds of the outer boroughs.
