    All this hate for Melania is very reminiscent of the same for Michelle Obama. Utterly undeserved and cruel.

    But the airplane walkout meme is funny.

      I don't think it's hate so much as disinterest and having harmless fun with an First Lady and her vanity project that didn't flop for no reason.

        Yea, I don't get the Obama comparison. The attacks on her were vicious and non-stop.

        Melania has been largely left alone, probably because she is mostly absent in terms of doing much of anything that the public sees. This film is getting attention because a) it's apparently pretty bad and b) Bezos/Amazon paid a lot of money for it, which makes people speculate the reasoning behind that spend.

        That said, I'm not a fan of the stuff that makes sexual references about her. I also never found the weekly cheerleaders pics that folks used to post next door to be much fun either, so maybe I'm just a stick in the mud.

          The Michelle Obama comparison is risible.

            Agreed. There's more than enough to poke fun at here without that.

              Also, not the most important criticism, but it's just tacky. If you want to release a documentary like this, at least do it after you're no longer the current first lady. It's like everything they do, tacky, self-serving, profit driven.... Gross.

                @Mik I think the " I really don't care" jacket went a long way towards turning people off. She was the first 'lady', and I think it showed extremely bad taste.

                The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

                  Oh god, I am. You'd be leaving out so much material otherwise.

                      Wonder how many tickets were sold vs how many people attended.....
