Um, so I just saw a commercial on IFC "10 brand new chapters on DVD in stores August 21st" and they're playing it on the channel on the 13th.

I still stand by my initial excitement over the first 5 chapters. I only got halfway through those shitty new chapters released this year, though.

I mean, what if Scott Stapp DID make something like TITC, and a lot of black people dug it because of the "juxtapositions of white stereotypes with outrageous non-sequiturs"?

I just want the audio of chapters 6 through as many more as I can get (I have TP.3). Is the audio for all the chapters packaged together in some fashion, preferably CD?

Sure, if a white guy made TITC shot for shot, line for line, it'd be racist. Blackface. Appalling. I didn't think you were suggesting anything so obvious.
But if a white person of similar infamy made a similarly plotted, similarly brilliant/retarded film, it would be received in precisely the same way. It would reflect white culture instead of black culture of course, but the basic dynamic would be the same. People of all sorts would adore it in a condescendingly ironic fashion.
So what? Comedy = stereotypes + stereotypes punctured. Big deal. White guilt about what's okay or not okay to laugh at is retarded. Every culture in the world thinks other cultures are funny to the extent they don't think they're evil.
Therefore, thinking other cultures are funny is a GOOD THING. Or at least it can be...

I mean he's a painfully ignorant buffoon who continually embarrasses himself and, if he'd maybe not dropped out of school in junior high and had learned how to read, there's a possibility he wouldn't be spending his talent on outright bullshit like this.

i'm half-surprised more are coming considering the relative lack of acclaim/attention for the second batch (shake your head at the whole deal if you want, but there was infinitely more in the narrative/format to be fascinated by in the first bunch), but then they're probably pretty cheap to make.

millions of people enjoy his music and he's made a zillions dollars; I'd say he did pretty well for a dropout

always weird when people break out the "he's successful, so it must be awesome to be him whatever else might be true about him personally" deal

well, that's as presumptive as saying that his life would be better had he stayed in school

The second batch seemed forced and hackneyed, where the first seemed inventive and engagingly odd. I have little hope for any continuation.

"his life" vs "his contributions to art"
but then again, Tyler Perry stayed in school and look at him

as a "stay in school" cautionary tale? are high school dropouts really worried that they may one day turn into R. Kelly? "this guy is a painfully ignorant buffoon" sounds like something a 30 year old college grad who doesn't like R. Kelly would say

i've enjoyed plenty of r. kelly's music - he's got a commanding voice, good hooks, and a shameless taste for the absurd. but i don't think it's hard to see how someone could find him too embarrassing and tragic to do likewise.
