Full-sized cardboard Bush image in Coconuts
promoting this new cartoon The Incredibles.

I was so outraged, I had to let the manager have it.

"How can you have the image of this thief, war criminal in your store? How can you look at this animal all day long?"

He smiled, but didn't say anything.

I told I would never walk in Coconuts again, let alone buy anything, until this cancer is not removed.

Does anyone know how o contact Coconuts by phone?

10. The Incredible is a very pro-conservative movie.
Red uniforms, frivolous lawsuits forcing superheros underground, nuclear family, villain who wants to make everyone super, middle-age nostalgia and a French bomber who starts the whole movie.

Having said all that, I loved the movie. It was great.

12. Yeah but that's because...
it's done with a kind of 1950s retro flair about it, which seems mighty conservative by our modern day standards :)
