New at Reason: 3D Fiscal House of Horrors in Old-Fashioned 2D!

October 2, 2010

Just mere days ago, Reason.tv broke the fourth wall, the fifth dimension, and the sixth sense by releasing, in conjunction with Reason magazine, the 3D series Fiscal House of Horrors!

The series, including the episodes "I Spend on Your Grave!", "Night of the Living Debt", and "Attack of the Killer Compensation!," illustrate how out-of-control government spending is shredding the economy like Freddy Krueger on methamphetamine (which, like all substances in a free economy, should be legal of course!).

Reason is happy to release Fiscal House of Horrors in 2D for viewers too scared to confront the federal spending horror in heart-stopping 3D (debt, deficit, and despair)!

Watch and learn. And, as Sen. Mike Gravel says in his warning, don't be afraid to scream - it just might save your life. And your country's future!

Approximately 6 minutes.

Written and produced by Austin Bragg, Meredith Bragg, and Nick Gillespie.

More rightwing propaganda out of Reason's ass! Go suck Ron Pual's cock! I'm NEVER coming back to this websight!

Wow the art of Max-spoofery has really deteriorated these days.

If we don't do something to stop global warming, spoofing Max will be the least of our problems.

But that was a pretty good Tony...

Yeah, Max is a way better speller than that.

Does that bust of Shakespear still have a button which opens the bookcase leading to the Batcave?

Ernie the Bear|10.2.10 @ 5:40PM|#

Thank you for posting the 2-D version. I hadn't seen them, due to the undeniable fact that anything in 3-D gobbles the festering wang of overly-litigious attorneys.

I went to two bookstores today hoping to buy a copy of the 3-d issue; one store had no copies of Reason at all, and the second store still had the issue with the gorgeous gun-toting woman on the cover. Dang.

Nick: 2D or 3D, this is pretty lame either way. You guys can do better!!!

While the 3D versions pop out at you like a pretzel Heimliched from President Bush's windpipe, this 2D version is less seizure-inducing than one of Welch's animated gifs.

(See? Two can play at that game, Gillespie.)

There's nothing better than a comment section dominated by Max/Edward's ejaculations and the retorts of troll-feeders ...

Give him a break. It is tough when he only has his left hand available for typing!

Too bad a more appropriate name for this Gillespie star vehicle was taken by someone else.

At least he didn't get his name from a children's paperback

EPA Lead Paint RRP Training|10.2.10 @ 11:35PM|#

Interesting post. So that is how our money is being spent. As for me, I spent it on lead paint training for the new RRP rule the EPA requires. You can get a full list of dates at http://epaleadtraining.com EPALeadTraining.com

Choad|10.3.10 @ 2:33AM|#

I could use some of that lead paint training. I've been trying to use lead paint chips as a low-calorie alternative to potato chips, but think I might be putting too much salt on them to make them palatable. You know how dangerous sodium is.

I still haven't received my copy, thanks to the uselessness of the Canadian postal system.

Also, I'm hoping to reuse the glasses for watching 3D porn. I better not be disappointed.

LOL

The Howard Dean scream thrown in was hilarious. It never gets old.

Here are other tales of horror...

"The War That Wouldn't Die" (Drug War)
"The War That Wouldn't Die 2" (Iraq)
"The War That Wouldn't Die 3" (Afghanistan)

Bride of Federalstein (Warfare/Welfare)

Federalstein's Monster (Federal Reserve Bank)

Is the plate featured in the third episode the same one from the commercial where "His confident smile and kind eyes are an inspiration to us all?" If so...quality yet obscure reference, Nick et al.

LOL. Loads of good stuff here. Not just the spending facts, but the Gillespie one-liners. Love the Mike Gravel intro.

Jomes Carpenter|10.26.10 @ 12:53PM|#

@EPA Lead - Do you know if I can order the rrp paint safety training forms from the website like they sale on www.epaleadforms.com and www.leadsafetyforms.com?

We need some as we do not have the time to create them on our own.

Thanks!
