movie that could piss off a genuine lunatic.

As for their need to grow some cojones, I prefer brains over cojones. Just one fucking incident at a theater and they would be sued and blasted for it. I notice all those telling them to grow a pair have no actual risk to themselves involved. Just Saying.

Besides we may have all been saved from a shitty movie and if you really crave offensive caricatures of real actual leaders being murdered you can always rent Team America. America, Fuck Yeah, indeed!
