All of the cuss words, none of the plot! Now that the courts have stopped companies like Clean Flicks and Family Flicks USA from releasing their own custom-sanitized DVD versions of other people's movies (we used to just call this "bowdlerization"), perhaps it is time to celebrate with a different approach: a feature with all the f-words left in, but the rest of the movie taken out. That's what somebody's done with "The Big Lebowski" in this two-minute, fourteen-second "F*cking Short Version." If you're offended by profanity... well, then you're out of your element, Donny!

That was a master piece. Excellent revenge on those double moral types.
That was hilarious! Someone shoud do this for Scarface.
I was laughing so hard the first time I watched this, it was painful. I wasn't sure I could keep going.
Somebody did do it with Scarface. Go on YouTube and search for "Scarface short version" and you should get what you're looking for. Surprisingly, it's shorter than the short version of Lebowski. Who would'a guessed?
