Layer Cake. It's pretty good!

Without your permission? That's fucked and wrong.

The wal-mart example, the dude (with 18 years at the company) never got to have any insurance on his wife himself, but the company gets 81k for a P/t employee who was not employed anymore, staying home with the kids. How is that right? She didn't even work there anymore, and it was a pre-existing condition.

How is that wrong?  How did the employee lose out on the deal?

he didn't know there was a deal. He owes 100k for his wife's medical bills ( a few days of dying in the hospital) while Wal-Mart who employed her for 18 months and was not currently employing her as she had left several months before her death to be a stay at home mom.... ended up netting 81k off of her death.

Interestingly if her husband wanted to get insurance for her, his rates would have been prohibitive as she had a pre-existing condition(which led directly to her death... High rates are no barrier for Wal-Mart to be a vulture in this sense.

What bugs me about this whole thing is the Vulture aspect., and the calling of the victims(and they are victims imo) "dead peasants" in the internal memo trail. Vile. Even if it's "legal" it's still the most horrible example of profit off the backs of wage slaves that I've ever seen.

Again though - the "wage slave" lost nothing on the deal.  Not one cent.  There is no way this was made "off the back of" this person.

No it was made off his dead wife's back, which is ok?

They didn't make it "off her back" either.  They made it "through the premium."

Watched Love Happens this past weekend. It was a pretty good movie. Just the right amount of Jennifer Aniston, so she didn't ruin the movie. Not bad for a chick flick.

Highly recommend it if you want to score some brownie points with your significant other.

[Sophie Scholl]

Agreed Strix.  A decent flick.

Watched Napoleon Dynamite and cringed all the way through. How come was this movie so successful? Is it my lack of cultural references? Moreover, it is supposed to be a comedy and I just couldn't find any of the situations funny at all. I was like this all the time. Is it me or almost all the characters seem to be retarded?

I always wanted to punch a person wearing a VOTE FOR PEDRO t-shirt after watching that abortion of a movie.

[Ed Anger]

In fact, I'd like to just punch Tim.

The girfriend of a friend of mine was wearing one the other day. Now I'll have to question her taste forever, I'm afraid she may have a severe case of hipsteritis.

I have been told you need to watch the movie several times before it becomes funny. 

I didn't get it either and couldn't watch the whole thing.

[FunkMonk]

That movie was amusing enough when you're a 20-year old idiot. It doesn't age very well though.

[Eddie Teach]

My sister loved it and apparently it was a big source of amusement for her and her college friends.

FFS. are you people made of "lawyer matter" only? Insurance is no way is meant for your employer to make money from your death. It is supposed to help your family. I hope you all get screwed over by some huge corporation soon. Jeezuz.
