Put me down for world peace too. And video interviews the just get to the answers w/o the muzac. (Bitches and money are running a close 2nd and 3rd btw).

By the end of the day I would like to see this same concept shot in maybe 30 odd other countries and see what the responses would be.

Good one Chad, it would be quite interesting.


I'd wish for some people to be able to respond to life's situations as fast as i do.

I'd like a resolution to the bag of shit that Baby Boomers have left Generation Xers holding...

Although we shouldn't hold our breath.
We'll need it to explain to them that Jimmy Carter's term and the Cuban missle crisis isn't really relevant in political arguements anymore.

Wait. Maybe it's better to hold our breath rather than wasting it.

I'd like to cage the world leaders and put them to an Octagon Session to clear up all their issues.
Then, after the matches, they could go out together for a beer or whatever they drink... maybe it's a step to the world peace.

Oh my god... when that guy said "to get my son back".. it broke me down. Maybe because I'm a new father.. but... i can't even imagine. One line turned a funny, quarky film into such a powerful emotion.

It got me angry at myself, too. When they showed that guys face in the beginning of the film, the thing that went through my mind, was, "boy, that guy looks like a prick". Turns out, I was.

Wow, now your comments are making me tear up. Let's all have a group hug.

said Scaramouch on September 17, 2008 3:19 PM.

I'd wish for world peace, under my total authority.

And a harem. And so many guns it would make you go blind. Because I'd shoot your eyes out with them.

I'm surprised they cut the part where Steve Martin answered the question. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPVuHP3OXk0
