Wow. We're getting dark here. Let's go back to whether I love the '80s is a documentary.

I don't know how else you'd categorize it.

I was curious, so I yahooed it. Apparantly, there were:

QuoteIn the mid-90's, a Cuban Sandwich documentary aired on a Tampa public access channel where many older Cuban immigrants claimed that the sandwich actually originated in Tampa at the turn of the century.

Triumph of the Will is the best documentary ever.  Hmmm, I better not.

Actually as abhorrent as it is, the movie is actually worthy of discussion here.  are there any documentaries that arent above such propaganda.

I don't know that that counts. The intent of the beheading videos was to shock and horrify, not provide someone's twisted idea of "entertainment." On the other hand, if it is believed that the evil fucks making snuff films (this is assuming they exist; I'm not saying they do) enjoy making them as much as the intended audience enjoys seeing (blech) them, then the assholes making the beheading videos might qualify.

And just to show that my beef is not solely with radical islam, I point out that the catholic church had better be goddamned grateful there were no video cameras in the twelfth century.
