1: Climb to top of belltower.
2: Execute a number of innocent civilians with a 30-06, while shouting "No smoking on the beach! K-rock RULES! LOVELINE, LOVELINE, LOVELINE!"

That'll get it some nationwide attention.

I wonder how many average Loveline fans have a clue what the hell you're talking about.

(I do.)

I'm sure more people would have recognized the reference had clocktower been used instead of belltower.

"Jodie Foster's Army" was named in response to the dude who shot the president and cited his reason as "I was trying to impress Jodie Foster." Hence, when gouranga made the comment about shooting people from a bell tower, Dubious Merit said, "It'd sure impress the hell out of Jodie Foster.", which lead Liz to say, "I wonder how many people get that reference.", which lead me to say, "I do -- and so does the band JFA." See?

Edited to add: Now break it down now!

I'm 17 and I understood both references. Does that mean there is something wrong with me?

You know, the last time I gave John Hinkley a shout-out, we had this kind of confusion, too.

The clocktower dude, by the way, was Charles Whitman.

John Hinkley got the idea to impress Jodie Foster, however, from the Robert De Niro movie "Taxi Driver," where his taxi driver character gradually becomes more and more isolated from society and becomes psychotic and tries to assassinate someone. Jodie Foster played a teenage hooker in the movie. It's also the flick that had the famous line "you talkin' to me?" in it.

Not bad for someone who's never even seen it.

Bringing up the interesting ethical question: can the media be held responsible for how crazy people interpret what they produce?

No, but they should still keep that in consideration when they air certain kinds of content.

That's a slippery slope, Darkie.

—mandeemoo22

Yes, it means you're not enough of an idiot to be 17. You must change your age immediately. (You too, Liz.) (and any of the other 17-year-old TLCers I may have forgotten.)

If you pick one higher than 114, you'll get to do all kinds of interviews.

"Bringing up the interesting ethical question: can the media be held responsible for how crazy people interpret what they produce?"

An important question, but easily answered: no. The responsibility of actions falls in the hands of those who act, not those who might have inspired such things.

Good old Chuck. Heh...

Well, I stand corrected. It's society's fault which means it's my fault and your fault and everyone else's fault. Each of us killed a tiny bit of Sharon Tate and we must all suffer the consequences of something we never did but somehow still did.

Yum.

It's also my fault for brainwashing Patty Hearst, I would imagine. I've been feeling guilty lately for my part in that crime.
