King don't gently caress around. He dunks on musk and the GOP all the time. His principles seem to be pretty solid. Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_Baby

quote:

The Dollar Baby (or Dollar Deal) is an arrangement by which American author Stephen King grants permission to students and aspiring filmmakers or theatre producers to adapt one of his short stories for $1. (He retains rights to his work. As he began to have commercial success, he has used these deals to help the next generation.) The term may be used to refer both to the film or play itself and to the filmmaker (for example, "The Sun Dog" was made as a Dollar Baby, and its director Matt Flesher is a Dollar Baby).

The production budgets have ranged from a few hundred dollars to more than $60,000 (Umney's Last Case), and the film formats range from home video to professional 35 mm film.

He's doing it purely for the art.

They killed the balloon because it started wupping rear end left and right in that Chinese style. We only use American style so it took us by surprise, we had to get assistance from the Mexicans, who use Mexican style to take it down. It's sort of like rock, paper, scissors.

Would he be the same age he was then? Or would he be like a 20 something age? If it turns out to be the latter the balloon died doing us all a favor.

omg what a great idea. They have book burnings already and standing around a fire is good fun, but they should have book shootings.

Line them up, read say to them their charges or some dumb ceremony I'd imagine, then blast away. That's much more american.

It's cool shooting down a balloon with a missile. It's a balloon for fucks sake, just pop it with something pointy.

Also seems kind of pointless to wait until it crosses the entire country to do it. They probably already got the data they wanted from it...

Sort of like a dart. This actually was just a larger version of the carnival game except the balloon wasn’t half deflated. The aviators each get to pick one of the large plush animals from the top shelf now.

I wish the baloon contains like thousands of those old propaganda posters, from that hard red communist era. And they fall down cartoonishly accross Montana of all places.

And there's a hundred thousand more baloons on their way :twisted:

There aren't many ways of delivering something pointy to 60,000 feet without getting missiles involved.

Also I agree, it would have been WAY funnier if they shot it down and it fell on an out-house or something. Some poor shmuck is getting into that out-house worrying about getting poo poo on his balls or spiders crawling out but it's the communist spy satellite hurtling towards him from the stratosphere that he should be worried about.
