RightWingTrash trashes the late-lamented/overrated Bill Hicks:

Sadly, his fanatical following now brings us the insanely self-congratulatory trailer for American: The Bill Hicks Story.

That trailer does a pretty good job of suggesting how dull Hicks was in his outrageousness. Among his many moronic routines was one about those crazy Christians who wear crosses, with Hicks noting it was like honoring John F. Kennedy by wearing a small gold rifle. I remember my sister making that same comment when she was about 13 years old, and lots of other kids have done the same at that age. Hicks just took a lot longer to figure it out.
