Now these are pretty funny - imaginings of possible Hugo Chavez Anger Management Issues. Check out this one where he gets mad at his Playstation 2 console:

Quoted: Tony Hawk! Chico! Listen to me! You are coward, Mr. Tony Hawk! You are an Ignorant, a Skateboarder Immoral, a Half-Pipe Assassin! You hoard your power, birdie, while other, far superior characters such as Rune Glifberg and Rodney Mullen suffer your tyranny! You are disgustingly incapable of performing freestyle tricks, and are only mediocre at switch stance, Mr. Tony Hawk! Your Double Kick Flip Indy is not so impressive, either, Hawk Man! Your own colleagues mock you, Burro Man!

Quoted: Personally, you have angered me, birdie! You start yourself with 8 out of 10 spin points? You are a liar! A liar, Mr. Hawk! You cannot spin so good! You grossly understate Kareem Campbell's hang-time abilities, Hawk Man Ignoramus Clown! Why is he the only black skater on your little game, Racist Donkey?

Quoted: And why are you always the strongest character on your own video games, Mr. Tony Hawk? I will tell you why! Because you are coward, Mr. Tony Hawk! A wolf in sheep's cloth! Mr. Tony Chicken Hawk! Mr. Tony Donkey Hawk!

I may be a dork but I think that this is really funny. Somebody at McSweeney's wrote up a fictionalized audio commentary (expunged from the production release of the DVD - obviously!) between Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky as they watch the film.

An interesting short film. I'd like to check out the full disc if they're all this good.
