There actually was a real Steve Brodie who claimed that he jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge in 1886 and survived. Even though the newspapers enthusiastically reported his story, there's no evidence that it actually happened.
In celebration of the Lunar New Year, today's episode of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is sponsored by Tiger Beer:
Remember, Tiger Beer wishes you a very Happy New Year. And reminds you that drinking and driving does not make dancing Asian girls appear in the traffic jam you're stuck in.
The Lunar New Year celebrations are at an end and we're sure you need to relax. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour is proud to sponsor, another film in honor of of the New Year. Here at ACME, we can think of no better way to relax than watch a movie filled with sex, love and the Cultural Revolution. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like you to join us in watching the 1994 Zhang Yimou's internationally acclaimed hit, To Live, (Once again, if you can't watch this today, please put it on a list of films you much watch.) So why not sit back and relax (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) get a snack (perhaps, some potato chips,) and a beverage and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching To Live.
Director Zhang Yimou was banned from filmmaking for two years by the Chinese government as a result of making this film. However, there were a number of pirate copies you can buy on the street. The ban on the film was lifted only in September 2008 after Zhang Yimou directed the 2008 Summer Olympics opening ceremony.
Demand Euphoria.
