Wasn't Crichton also responsible for the idea that being an organ donor means that hospitals will kill you? I remember hearing that before, but after looking into it I can't really find anything to back it up.

There was a Canadian sent to the Space Station, but it's been drowned out by Rob Ford and the other scandals.

Neither of those books say what those people say they do.

Are we supposed to be agreeing with the gay strawman here? I know Horsey's decently far to the left on this stuff, but the way this is set up makes it seem like it's a truth is in the middle thing.

About her characterization there, I'll say this- it's the show that got her wrong. She was created to be a fetish object for the artist, who's into Amazonian style women. Dude's even done lady wrestling comics. Putting her in a kids show just made people think she wasn't. That she was essentially a jerk character (albeit one they did bother to devolop, unlike most creators) has its own problems, but the cartoon didn't help things.

Obligatory :goonsay: here.

Just because it's faithful to the original character doesn't make it excusable.

I know a Swedish woman who doesn't understand why blackface is considered offensive, despite knowing that it's never been used in a positive light. "So, if I decide I want to put up blackface and dress up as Rhianna for Halloween, that's racist?" She admits that that level / type of sensitivity might be "an American thing", but was still pretty jarring to me to hear her say that.

I was speaking with a Dutch woman the other month, and she was talking about the last time her grandparents visited her in the States. Apparently they were utterly baffled over why people would act shocked after they explained their tradition of Sinterklaas, and his blackface elves.

Admittedly my info's a few years out of date, but even if you can do it, why would you? All that showy zapping is just wasted eschaton-thaums, and those take forever to get back. Literally. Unless maybe you want to short out the local metasyncretic potentials, but again, why would you?? This just isn't adding up.

Oh, you haven't heard? The Zionists joined up with us HomoSatanists a while back. Used to be that eschaton-thaums were limited , but it turns out that all you need is for our Dark Lord and Master to bless the slaughter of seven unborn Christian babies during a gay orgy and they come right back. It's crazy, but they're a completely renewable resource. Seems so obvious in hindsight, I guess nobody ever thought to check.

In all seriousness though, has Dees ever done anything on the gay agenda? I don't seem to recall him being homophobic, but that seems like the type of thing that's be right up his alley.

Someone please tell me this cartoon stopped. This really, really should not exist.

Kinda sorta. I think there was a falling out or something between the two people who made them, with Berger, the artist, leaving. Adams, the guy who came up with the ideas for the cartoons, has no idea how to draw so he only made a vague attempt at continuing them. Here's the latest cartoon he did, dated last May.



Not too good. I have no idea why he didn't just hire another artist, but there you go. This cartoon was actually posted alongside another Berger cartoon, albeit an old one from 2010. I don't know why he did that either, but here it is just for the record.



And in case anybody's curious, here are the last two cartoons Berger did. They're dated December 26 and February 24, both in 2012.

Ooh, I have a fun fact. The insane vice president from the end of Fallout 2 was based on, and spoke mainly with quotes directly from, Dan Quayle. Not exactly the most timely thing considering the game came out during the Clinton administration, but I thought it was a fun reference when I read about it.

Small correction here, that should be "Blas, you already ate... You're already leaving...". Then I can't really think of a succinct translation off the top of my head, but saying te vas also implies that he's not just taking off, but rather that he's getting the hell out of there.
