I am happy to report that the offensive film Let's go to Prison has bombed at the box office and currently has a 7% rating on rotten tomatoes. Apparently you can go broke underestimating the taste of the American public, and it seems that making fun of sexual assault in prison just didn't have mass appeal. You'd think with 2 million Americans in prison and Human Rights Watch illustrating the barbaric conditions of our penal system the last thing anyone would want to do is make a two hour comedy about it. In any case, while American prisoners still languish without justice, some has actually been delivered to the Phillistine morons who thought making this movie was a good idea.

I don't get why David Cross and Bob Odenkirk are so funny and yet separately almost everything they do is awful...
What makes this all the more upsetting is that the movie is a fictitious riff on "You're Going to Prison," a book written about ten years ago that, while also offering similar deadpan and morose outlooks on prison, offered an open and honest accountment of what happens there.
