P.A.N.D.A. - The Proudly Anti Napoleon Dynamite Assocation

More fruits of archiving old emails...

My friend Michael M. alerted me a while ago to a MySpace group called "P.A.N.D.A. - The Proudly Anti Napoleon Dynamite Association." The tagline is, "I have never seen Napoleon Dynamite, and that makes me better than you."

Here's how it describes itself:

THE P.A.N.D.A. PROMISE: I hereby solemnly swear that I have never seen the film Napoleon Dynamite and I vow to never see it for as long as I live. If I am at a party and someone puts on the Napoleon Dynamite DVD, I will promptly leave. If I am on an airplane which is showing Napoleon Dynamite I will keep my eyes closed for the duration of the film. If Napoleon Dynamite is airing on television, I will change the channel immediately. If I am ever captured by terrorists and forced to watch Napoleon Dynamite, I will commit ritual suicide in accordance with the holy laws of our people before I am exposed to any of the film. I understand that in the court of Heaven, a truly just God would forgive this act of self-sacrifice, because a just God understands what we understand: That by having not seen Napoleon Dynamite, we are among an elite few, and we are way fucking cooler than everyone who has seen it.

Our Mission Statement: It is the solemn duty of every P.A.N.D.A. member to spread the word amongst our brethren, to assure that others like ourselves do not fall victim to peer pressure, and see Napoleon Dynamite after hearing about how it's "SOOOOOOO FUCKING FUNNY!!!" from all of their friends. If you, as a P.A.N.D.A. loyalist, can save just one of your loved ones, you have done a lion's share of good in this troubled world.

REQUIREMENTS: You can ONLY join this group if you have NEVER EVER EVER seen Napoleon Dynamite and NEVER EVER EVER will.

What I like about this is that it's not a reaction to the movie itself, but the hype surrounding the movie. It's quite possible that the organizer of the group would love Napoleon Dynamite if he saw it. The people joining this group are explicitly making uninformed vows of ND hate. Perhaps because they're afraid of getting sucked in and loving it like everyone else.

I can't join the group, because I've seen Napoleon Dynamite. Multiple times. But you still can. Join here. And do your lion's share of good in this troubled world.

You know, I love the movie Napoleon Dyanmite. I think its the best and i don't think you should be starting a club that hates like the funniest person in the world. Napoleon is the Best and the whole club knows it but yall are just jealeous because you haven't seen it to know what its like or how funny it is.

i do not know but i agree with this dude i have seen the movie but dude it is a crapy movie that was so poorly done that it should never be considered a good movie. i truly wish i never saw this movie not just so i could join this totaly kick ass Association but so i can get that horable movie from my mind so i can be ignorant at the stupidity of the rest of the world for thinking it was good. no afence to anyone but it was bad movie and no one really had to talk about the movie all day for months on end makes a person want to kill them selvies for hearing it all the time you know every thing that goes on in that movie with out seeing it becuase every one basicly quoted the whole movie after it came out.
ND was one of thoughs so horable movie that every one wanted to make it seem good so that the could convice their friends to wast their money on it to so that they do not feel like they where a complet fool to see it first and so the other friends did the same thing and it just spread horably. well i will stop now. to sum it up.
