16. They've got their dumb movie coming out on Friday.
What's hilarious is they thought they'd get it out on Tax Day, but because of a Washington, D.C. holiday, Tax Day is now on April 18 this year.

lol

17. Guerilla Marketing
Probably just a marketing campaign for the stupid movie they made from this stupid book. A real Ayn Rand follower would never sully their hands putting a bumper sticker on a public mailbox. Of course they might pay somebody to do it.

24. John Galt is Bernie Madoff. John Galt was Ken Lay
John Galt was the Hunt Brothers. John Galt is the Koch brothers. John Galt is every rich and powerful son of a bitch who gets ahead by stepping on the necks of women and children.

John Galt is a pig.

27. Isn't John Galt
they guy who conviced the very best and brightest to abandon their fellow man instead of trying to fix the system?

John Galt is a greedy coward who wanted him and his friends to be in charge so he ruined the lives of millions of people, the same people who: Ran his friends oil rigs, drove the trains, made the steel etc etc..


Seriously Atlas Shrugged is one of the biggest pieces of self-idolizing greedy pieces of shit, and if I ever see a sticker like that..I'll write with big marker next to it "Who is John Galt?"---- He is a greedy prick"

30. Ultimately, Rand is Nietzsche for stupid people
though I can't lay my hands on the link to the site from which that quote came.

And ill-digested Nietzsche at that.
