That's a pretty accurate assessment of a movie that drips with so many plugs for products that the characters joke about it in the script. The film, which links Michael Jordan with Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the rest of the Looney Tunes stable, has generated more than 200 spin-off items that Warner is hoping will eventually pull in $1 billion. That would be on top of the $3 billion already generated annually by Looney Tunes paraphernalia. But Space Jam is different from most movies in that it not only feels as if it were inspired...
...Jones just sounds pompous and elitist when he calls Gibson's speech "a mockery of the Harvard tradition." Does the tradition not allow a joke or two, and horror of horrors, even a little profanity. You're correct Mr. Jones, Gibson did not have any grand theories of wisdom or life-altering realizations, and maybe by your standards that means his speech was worthless.

While such behavior is inappropriate and unconscionable, it is not based on any clear advantage which renders women unable to respond. To call this a case of sexual harassment...
Except for a one-paragraph blurb that is supposed to describe Ralph Nader's platform, you have virtually ignored or dismissed Nader's candidacy. But I've seen surveys showing Nader with more support than Ross Perot, who has truly become the joke of this campaign.
