(no subject)

[technoir]

I don't know if it is a sign of age or what. I finally saw something so offensive from family guy that I wont watch the show any more. For those who want to know, it was the Mexican Superfriends skit. It is so racist that I am mildly embarrassed I even watched it and I have seen Birth of a Nation. It was not funny just offensive.


oh well.

Oh agreed. Wall-E was merely a redo of Charley Chaplin or Buster Keaton and it is funny and touching.

I do acknowledge the lack of refinement or courtesy in society. This is not just in humor but in movies, music, politics, and even our news. The upside is there are few sacred cows. We can always point to things that are wrong or even silly and not fear it is a forbidden subject. The downside is people begin to loose perspective and courtesy.
