"Remember, Remember, The Fifth Of November" or "I Hope You Like 'V For Vendetta!'"

Canadians; your Facebook wall will be filled with political quotes from that one Hugo Weaving movie. Like, Lord of the Rings or whatever.

Americans; your Facebook wall will be filled with political quotes that people will tenuously at best try to link to the election.

What is it about a popular movie about a future revolution that everyone finds so enthralling? Is it because the movie references a specific historical date? Is it because everyone likes the movie? Is it because everyone else is linking it, they just wanted to be cool?

Or is it because no one refrences Network because it's too dated?

It's because they blow up government buildings in it while the 1812 Overture plays.

Home for once, this year we have topped our fully flammable gallows and fireworks powered popemobile with a scale replica of the Apostilic Chapel.
