Crass movie was not the right choice

On July 10, my family and I attended the first "fish fry and flick" at
Discovery World on the lake. We looked forward to the evening, and it
was a beautiful night and a beautiful venue. The CEO gave a nice
welcome speech, praising and thanking Mike Cudahy for his gift to
Milwaukee. At that moment, I was proud to be from Milwaukee.

Then the movie "The Big Lebowski" began, with each sentence either
starting with or punctuated with the "F-bomb." It was disappointing to
me and my wife who were there with our children and an embarrassment
to Discovery World, I would think. What started as a great night ended
as a terrible experience. We left because we were embarrassed as
parents and Milwaukeeans. It was a discredit to Mike Cudahy's vision.
