"The Fantastic Mr. Fox" starring George Clooney, is possibly one of the most boring animated films I have ever seen. I couldn't wait for it to finish. "Mr. Fox" is the story of a thieving fox that steals food from farmers (right up Hollywood's alley). When the farmers figure out what is transpiring and try to kill Fox and his cohorts, they flee underground. Much more could have been done with this film that was adapted from a children's novel, as the movie was dull and the animation chintzy.

The Mexican Government Burns Hidden Marijuana Desert Farm And Arrests Farmers

Listen closely. Do you hear that howling sound. That's the cries of rappers all over the world, bawling at the sight of the Mexican government burning the largest marijuana field in their nation's history, while arresting the farmers that cultivated it in the desert.

Mexican solider: dude, do you smell that?

Do you know how many male rappers would have wanted to run through those fields, like a woman picking flowers on a sunny summer day. Not to mention, Bob Marley is rolling in his grave at this development (I'm just teasing).

It looks like a Christmas tree, but it certainly is not!

The farm hidden beneath black mesh netting (tarpaulin), designed to conceal the illegal, lucrative crop, was spotted by helicopter, drawing the attention of the Mexican government.

Weed fields covered in tarp. Unlike the TARP Bush/Obama issued, this one actually made a lot of money (kidding)

In all seriousness, one has to give the Mexican government credit for its war on drugs, as it has been a massive effort. They've made so many arrests and seizures of cocaine and marijuana, it's amazing. Well done.
