We in the business call that 'Pulling a Lucas'.
The second best thing about Slim's performance is that Kubrick didn't come back twenty years later and tell the public the nuke was actually a dud never meant to explode in the first place.
(Do I even answer...) The West's ideas and views of 'sexiness' or 'attractiveness' changing over the centuries.
Out of curiosity, who sponsored the research? Corn for America?
I think I'll make comment that has nothing to do with how mainstream this video has become:

This sent tingles down my spine.
I think someone might have done this a bit better.
My personal story: I was bullied. I dealt by developing a strong wit, a healthy sense of sarcasm, and the impression that I was at least ten times more intelligent than everyone else.

I was taught to ignore the bullies, and at best put up with them. There is no satisfaction in bullying someone if they never respond to you.
It's not so much what you chew as the act of chewing something itself. Try it with a piece of sugar cane, or beef jerky. You should get the same result, all things constant (and not factoring in sponsorship from the Gum Chewer's Association /s)
I actually didn't grow up in the "wierd people" aisle at Books-a-Million (I find the very idea 'weird': back in my day, there were things called libraries), and still managed to come across Tintin. I couldn't tell you now how I did. However, I do remember my discovery of the series coming about around the same time Wallace and Gromit popped into my life.

I would encourage you, as everyone else has in this thread, to acquire a few of the comics by any means at any cost.
I enjoyed the Swedish version, but just from this extended trailer (and after reading the book) Fincher's sets alone look almost exactly as I imagined them.
I'm going to have to call BS on the "McDonald Theory".

He might have been talking about the Big Mac, and about how it's so prevalent in the world today, it's used to gauge certain fiscal phenomena across different economies worldwide. Or the "McDonaldization" of trade, used to illustrate the principles and forces of globalization. That actually *is* a commonly held theory used in intro econ classes across the US.
He did it. I caught it. David Tennant's/The Tenth Doctor's first "well"!
Don't be a dick.
With a gold star comes great responsibility.
Just like Mrs. Draper in the second season. Eh? Eh?
We've also created a special breed of lab assistants that are immune to the cold, requiring only bikinis. In Soviet Russia, research does you!
Oh man, now this guy can go from 0 to 60 in less than 12 parsecs. Jealous.
Hell to the yes. Kickstarter, here we come.
Because Nic Cage actually slays vampires. Truth be told, I wouldn't be surprised if Tennant is channeling Nic Cage, as opposed to merely emulating him.

That tricky, tricky Nic Cage.
I like this Xacor guy... this man doth make much sense.
