I liked this- even when I wondered if it was ok to laugh at certain things (who puts Jesus on a flag??) Being from the other
St Louis, I know it challenged me on alot of my stereotypes. It would make an awesome movie.

Silly, beautiful, ridiculous great fun. A great implausible idea that's over before it bothers you. Like a great short film.

Painfully prescient.

The levels of ridiculousness this satire hit were pretty entertaining at times and it was kind of fun to imagine this going on just on the other side of the river, but the formatting was off enough for me to never seem to be able to fully get into it. It didn't seem like much editing was done past its original movie script form...and I think I would have liked the movie better had it been made.
