Add homeless people: C.H.U.D. III. Add urban legends of flushed pets: yet another giant mutant alligator movie. Add improperly-disposed body parts: paging Doctors Cronenberg and Bottin to the lab, we're gonna have some fun with body horror.<br /><br />Reminds me actually of a South Korean monster movie called "The Host," which many people liked but I couldn't finish (weird tone problems) -- the monster, some sort of mutated salamander-squid, gets that way when an American pathologist orders his Korean assistant to dump a billion bottles of formaldehyde down the drain because they're dusty (in other words, Americans are jerks). We all know that if <i>anything</i> gets into the water supply, it will immediately turn all local organisms into giant, bloodthirsty puppets/animated GIFs.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06160738569538127620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37811152.post-42917680140768810002012-06-02T09:39:11.856-05:002012-06-02T09:39:11.856-05:00The most benign corporation makes the most corrupt...The most benign corporation makes the most corrupt union look like Snow White.

When white, American males are inconvenienced, that's when things change and only then. As long as it's mostly women in nursing, the demands with continue to get crazier and crazier. I, for one, would like to apply for the medical waste sorting job. I'll take needlestick contamination risk over ER nursing, any day.
