the problem is you're pretending porn is a medium when it's a glorified outlet of sexual gratification while sure porn can be a medium virtually nobody watches porn and consumes it like one does a tv show or movie, they do so to attain sexual pleasure, which makes your hi-larious hand-wringing about how black people are portrayed within it (not to mention how you don't point out that sexual fetishes are definitionally private so it's not indicative of any greater cultural movement so much as "what gets my motor running") so dumb and again you're ignoring my taking the logical extreme of your dumb argument; 30% of women have rape fantasies, rape fetishes, or consume rape porn (and that number is probably a lowball). What does that "say" about society? That 30% of women want to get raped, or just that it's a fairly common fetish amongst women because, and this is important, they're able to distinguish fantasy from reality?

I just said that biases and stuff can be reinforced and replicated in various media (of which porn is) and that some of that ranges from pernicious to actually harmful. This is a silly derail and if y'all want to continue it in PMs, I'll be glad to.

Even urban dictionary only brings up race in the most fleeting of mentions for the term 'buck', it's not going to be a factor whatsoever.

"Boondoggle" and "pull the wool over one's eyes" have a bad racial background to them too, but guess what- people still use them. If you got a problem with it, write a thinkpiece on your Tumblr about it. Can we go back to Muppets hype now?

Huh. I never realized that "buck" had a negative history. All this time, I thought it was just another term for a hot guy.

Mister Kingdom posted:It kinda looks like what they did with the Looney Tunes Show with Bugs, Daffy, and the gang in a traditional sitcom setting. The Looney Tunes Show was good though, so I don't know why we would not want that to be the case. GLOSS posted:The Muppets trailer flat out slipped a "Electric Mayhem smoked hella weed back in the day" joke in and I can't loving wait to watch the poo poo out of that every god drat week. I would expect weed to be on the milder side of the things the Electric Mayhem did. Jose Oquendo posted:WTF. Dude like that other goon said, go watch The Muppet Movie right now. Then go track down some episodes of The Muppet Show. It's very creative and ahead of its time. Really you should just watch everything with Jim Henson's name on it (at least, before and including the '80s). Fraggle Rock took on some heavy concepts for a kids' show. Astroman posted:The larger question in my opinion, is who was really clamoring for a tv remake of a 25 year old movie? Must be the same people who really want to see Coach back on the air. Somehow it worked for 5 years with Parenthood, so...? raditts fucked around with this message at 14:52 on May 18, 2015 |

I watched the pilot for Dr. Ken as part of a focus group Focused on Ken making weird jokes at his doctors office, tracking his daughter's location using a cell phone app, and the asian kid from Trophy Wife being involved in some play. Kens offensive humor felt out of place for a multi camera sitcom, and because he was the only one doing it.

Sleeveless posted:"all of a sudden" All that comedy and wacky antics in that intro, just a reminder: Those kids are are all recently orphaned. Make with the yucks, people! edit: At least Horsin' Around lasted more than one season with the same plot. JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 02:52 on May 19, 2015 |

The biggest crime in that intro is the fake-rear end looking giant pancake. At least in the movie it appeared to be real. Thats just like a piece of cardboard.
