Some Dyno-mite Legislation

Remember folks, Napoleon dynamite was not just a fun film, it was a piece of art that contains significant pieces of social commentary. According to the law makers of Idaho it is important for many reasons including:

1. The friendship between Napoleon and Pedro has furthered multiethnic relationships. (Cordell's comment - remember Idaho is known worldwide for it's multiethnic ways.)
2. Uncle Rico's football skills are a testament to Idaho athletics.
3. Napoleon's bicycle and Kip's skateboard promote better air quality and carpooling as alternatives to fuel-dependent methods of transportation.
4. Rico and Kip's Tupperware sales and Deb's keychains and
glamour shots promote entrepreneurism and self-sufficiency in Idaho's small towns.
5. Napoleon's artistic rendition of Trisha is an example of the importance of the visual arts in K-12 education.
6. The "Happy Hands" club and the requirement that candidates for school president present a skit is an example of the importance of theater arts in K-12 education.
7. Kip and LaFawnduh's wedding shows Idaho's commitment to healthy marriages.
8. (And my favorite) Napoleon's tetherball dexterity emphasizes the importance of physical education in Idaho public schools.

And let it be known that "any members of the House of Representatives or the Senate of the Legislature of the State of Idaho who choose to vote 'Nay' on this concurrent resolution are "FREAKIN' IDIOTS!" and run the risk of having the 'Worst Day of Their Lives!'"

That my friends is pure comedic gold. Although I might have voted against it, just to be named a "FREAKIN' IDIOT" by the state of Idaho. That would make a great addition to the resume.

Now if only the State of Illinois would take up similar time to recognize the works of John Hughes. For didn't we learn a lot from Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Weird Science, and Mr. Mom?
