Ebert's Law

Film critic Roger Ebert's philosophy to criticizing works: "It's not what it's about, it's HOW it's about it."

This applies to any type of work, be it films, TV shows, music, books, etc.
Occasionally an unsuspecting innocent will stumble into a movie like this and send me an anguished postcard, asking how I could possibly give a favorable review to such trash. My stock response is Ebert's Law, which reads: A movie is not about what it is about. It is about how it is about it. -- Roger Ebert

Blue's Law

Blue's Law: This behavior occurs during a political debate, most likely, via the internet. When a conservative is over come by logic he/she/it falls back on their primal reptilian instinct of aggression and uses the term liberal in any way in order to deflate the value of an argument or the other debater(s).

As a discussion board thread increases on a conservative forum, the likelihood of this increases, much like Godwin's law.

The accused in question automatically wins the argument regardless of debate ability. The conservative is then laughed out of any gathering for being a simple minded twit.
Timmy 1: I think we as a people should be more concerned with living in harmony with others as it would strength the state of the entire planet.

Timmy 2: Fuck you liberal douchebag pussy. USA USA USA #1!!!!

Timmy 1: I invoke Blue's Law. You're a dick. Go back to 1940s and operate the showers, you nazi.
