Postal trailer bad, but not godawful

The trailer for Uwe Boll's "Postal" just debuted on IGN and I suppose we should be fair... it looks really bad, but it's not quite the worst thing I've ever seen. If this were a late night cable movie or even direct-to-DVD, I might even say it looks like it has its charm. The Bush impersonator doesn't sound at all like the president, and the inclusion of Osama Bin Laden seems beyond insane, and seeing Dave Foley makes me cringe with sympathy, not laugh with fond remembrances of "NewsRadio" and "Kids in the Hall"... but still, at least it's cut like a real trailer and has a few vaguely amusing moments. That's honestly better than I expected after Bloodrayne. Maybe Uwe is actually improving?
