Remember folks, Napoleon dynamite was not just a fun film, it was a piece of art that contains significant pieces of social commentary. According to the law makers of Idaho it is important for many reasons including:
1. The friendship between Napoleon and Pedro has furthered multiethnic relationships. (Cordell's comment - remember Idaho is known worldwide for it's multiethnic ways.)
2. Uncle Rico's football skills are a testament to Idaho athletics.
3. Napoleon's bicycle and Kip's skateboard promote better air quality and carpooling as alternatives to fuel-dependent methods of transportation.
4. Rico and Kip's Tupperware sales and Deb's keychains and
glamour shots promote entrepreneurism and self-sufficiency in Idaho's small towns.
5. Napoleon's artistic rendition of Trisha is an example of the importance of the visual arts in K-12 education.
6. The "Happy Hands" club and the requirement that candidates for school president present a skit is an example of the importance of theater arts in K-12 education.
7. Kip and LaFawnduh's wedding shows Idaho's commitment to healthy marriages.
8. (And my favorite) Napoleon's tetherball dexterity emphasizes the importance of physical education in Idaho public schools.
