      The jokes that made the snowflakes angry:

      These included: “DOES MELANIA WEAR PRADA? FIND OUT FRIDAY!” and “TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY. YOU MUST KNOW THEM. MELANIA.”

        The loss of the theatrical rights is attributed to the Lake Theater’s marquee messages for the documentary. These included: “DOES MELANIA WEAR PRADA? FIND OUT FRIDAY!” and “TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY. YOU MUST KNOW THEM. MELANIA.”

        Really not funny, offensive, or even interesting, but I guess that's enough these days.

          Lake Oswego is a rich conservative white woman sanctuary just west of Portland.

          I'm not buying that this theater owner was playing the movie as a joke.

          Why? Are you unable to read? it was stated on their website

          "MELANIA (we don’t like her either!) starts here Friday 1/30 to play daily at 5:00* 7:45 🙇🏼 in the main auditorium 🙇🏼 * 5pm Sunday & Thursday shows subtitled for the hearing and/or accent impaired"

          Sounds like they were having a giggle to me.

            The Prada one is mildly clever, implying Melania is the devil.

              “Mostly, I thought doing so would be funny. For some of you, that’s enough. Great! Otherwise… Financially, the film marketplace this week and next were a desert… So, to fill a screen, why not get this inexplicable vanity piece from the current president’s wife? I mean, it just seems so weird that it even exists (who wants a movie about Melania lol?), and wouldn’t it then be exponentially weirder, to the point of being funny, to show it here, at your obviously anti-establishment, occasionally troublemaking, neighborhood cinema?” Perry wrote.

                Then why did Amazon pull their rights to screen the movie because they made fun of it so much?

                The theater owner can just order a different movie on Temu.

                  Frees up the screen for something useful. Like a stream of paint drying.

                        Oof. Lost out on a whole $30 in revenue.

                        They'll never financially recover from this.

                                Just because the residents are wealthy, white, Conservative women doesn't mean the theater owner or the person who put up the marquee is too.

                                  My take is the theatre owner was screening the film primarily for mockery purposes?

                                    Shop Like a Billionaire and import one made overseas. Like a mail order bride of success, because you're a total badass theater owner. Hugely.
