Murdoch Is Like A James Bond Novel Villain.....
Edited on Thu Jul-14-11 10:12 AM by global1
Pushing for world domination of the flow of news, hacking into phones, blackmailing politicians..... I think the UK has to call in 007 to take care of the situation. What a great Bond novel this would make. Can anyone here come up with a title?

5. Until the point when they decide to kill him using an overly complicated method...
instead of just shooting him.

4. How about Tomorrow Never Dies?
Considering the movie wasn't based on a book, that would make a logical name for it.

7. That the villain in the film
(wonderfully played by Jonathan Pryce, who chewed every bit of scenery to shreds) was based on Murdoch was blindingly obvious.

8. Hence my suggestion.
I think I remember hearing it was specifically based on him. That's creepy motherfucker.

6. Too bad it's for real.
They are telling Parliament that they don't have to talk if they don't want to. They are above the laws of any country on the planet I guess.

Ghoul Fingers.

13. He and his son are a real good example of how business can self-regulate.
You know because laissez-faire unregulated businesses are such a good idea.

Hope I don't need:

15. 'Joey's brain is still alive'
Starring a dug up Paul Joseph Goebbels as Sir Screwpert.(the texture and smell would be just about right, wouldn't need any make-up)
