'Veronica Mars' film's online fundraiser launches
By | Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Veronica Mars" fans eager for a movie based on the TV series have a chance to put their money where their hopes are.
Series creator Rob Thomas launched an online crowd-funding campaign Wednesday to make a big-screen version of the show. "Veronica Mars," which starred Kristen Bell as a young sleuth, ended its three-season run in 2007.
On the Kickstarter website, Thomas said the $2 million fundraiser represents "our one shot to see a 'Veronica Mars' movie happen." Within hours Wednesday, more than 23,000 backers had pledged $1.5 million and counting. ...

Otherwise well written and acted, with its star being a true delight, the 'Veronica Mars' series was also laughably politically correct:
Veronica's best friend, a black guy so innocent and noble that they would do their homework together on Veronica's bed, without, by the way, her father blinking an eye: check.
No one ever said Cultural Marxist propaganda was subtle, but do young black men even want to be seen as THAT innocent?
Veronica's dad had a lovely perfect girlfriend, who was black: check.
Veronica's second best friend was a tough but lovable Hispanic motorcycle gang leader, whose primary activity seemed to be looking out for Veronica as if she were his kid sister, getting her out of scrapes and jams and stuff: check.
One could go on, but why?
One of the depressing things about all this, besides being a symptom of the end of Western civilization, is that in the past, especially in America, young people could be counted on to go through at least some short period of rebellion against authority. Not so today. Most get on all fours and chow down this (very well packaged) PC garbage and ask for more. And then they go on to college to proudly champion these very same tired 1960s ideologies as if they were somehow new and enlightened and bravely anti-establishment, when--Kids News Bulletin!--the establishment has been thoroughly taken over by political correctness for many years now.
However, in their defense, one of the major reasons that white teens can be so discombobulated about racial differences is not just because they have been subject to endless propaganda from government schools and the media, but the fact that almost all of their parents, no matter how liberal, have made sure that their own families live in nice quiet clean green low-crime almost all-white neighborhoods, where such things as massively disproportionate minority-on-white violent crime rates can be safely ignored in their comfy clueless cocoons.
That said, there is still hope for the younger generation. Someday it may even become cool to be a young rebel against political correctness. Then the tables will begin to turn. It is already happening on some college campuses. Someday a lot of young people are going to ask themselves, How much courage does it really take to trundle around repeating the same old never-examined PC catchphrases, like 'Celebrate diversity!'? And why are white people, in America, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, the only people in the world who are supposed to be celebrating ever more diversity and multiculturalism and jumping up and down with joy at their ever decreasing percentages of the population?
Political correctness is just too goofy and phony a mask not to slip off someday. A good deep dark sinister mystery to be uncovered by Veronica Mars? I haven't given up on her or her friends yet.
