Batman: the Dark Knight Rises--yeah memoribilia selling for top dollar because America needs to be reminded of another bloody rampage! Sick!

It's not the movie's fault.

And we are not going to let the freaks of the wold win by tacking it away from us.

Yeah, that's the only reason anyone collects movie memoribilia, right? Idiot. The kind of people who collect murder souvineers don't give a flying hoot about Batman. They'd be on the lookout for parts of the theatre itself, bloodstained carpet scraps and twisted stuff like that. The movie doesn't mean a thing to them. It could have been any movie playing. You know, there was a guy in Texas many years ago with a brain tumor who climbed to the top of a clock tower and opened fire on a whole neighborhood of college students and others. So should we have not allowed people to buy clocks or watches because it would remind us of some sick creature's demented actions? And airplanes crashed into the trade towers. Should we have banned all airplanes and not allowed any buildings more than one story tall? And how about sand? Iraq has lots of sand, and that was a horrible war. We should get rid of all sand in the universe. Make the world safe from people with too much time on their hands and too few brains.

Plouffe] “Yeah. Let’s shift gears. Mr. President, you no doubt are aware of the popularity of the Batman movies. Interestingly, the villain in this latest release is named ‘Bane’ and… [holds up leather bat-costume] “…this is your Bane-battling batcampaign batsuit! The people will love it!”

[Obama] “Yeah, baby! I’m gonna get to crush that evil capitalist entity!”

[Plouffe] “Actually, sir, the bad guy is ‘Bane’, not ‘Bain’.”

[Obama] “Yeah. ‘Bain’.”

[Axelrod] “Sir, ‘Bain’ and ‘Bane’ are homophones. They’re pronounced the same.”

[Obama] “I thought the homophone was what the mayor of Gotham would use to bat-call me when he needs me to bat-save the city from capitalism.”
