‘RV’ Tops ‘United 93’

LOS ANGELES - Audiences hit the road with Robin Williams as his family-vacation romp “RV” opened at No. 1 with $16.4 million, while the acclaimed Sept. 11 drama “United 93” debuted with $11.6 million.

What does it say about the decline of American society when “RV”, a silly, plotless Robin Williams vehicle, significantly outdraws “United 93”, a film adaptation of the darkest day in American history?

A very wise man once opined that one would never go back by underestimating that taste of the American public. Seldom has that truism been illustrated more clearly than this past weekend.

Dude…9.11? That’s SO ancient history….
