No doubt.
But(if it's anything like my experience as a child) the kids don't see it, they just appreciate the funniness of the whole thing.
I guess that's the way it should be; covering up history really benefits no one, IMO anyways....
VIDEOS: super racist/sexist/unhealthy advertisements and shows, a look back
Posted by ImmortalSynn on 8/21/11 at 9:46 am
I've been YouTubing old advertisements and shows from the '50s and '60s, just for the fun of it, and am astonished at just how much acceptability standards in advertisements have changed.
I've provided two of the most drastic examples below: the first is a Flintstones advertisement for Winston...

She's also Nightcrawler's biological mom (you get to see Azazel, his dad, in this film too... awwwwwesome!)
And even more-so, she was in a Lesbian relationship with Destiny, where she morphed into...

Yep. The next two are expected to encompass the X-Men during the 70s and 80s, respectively. Thus setting the stage for the original, which (despite airing in 2000) was envisioned in the '90s.

Excellent movie. Great choice of characters... including two quick cameos from the original three films, one of which had everyone applauding!
The White Queen really shined here, as did Azazel (to me anyways). Loved 'em all though.

Yes. Both Cartoon Network and Warner Bros confirmed it as real....
Preview trailer of the **new** THUNDERCATS cartoon released!!!
Posted by ImmortalSynn on 5/30/11 at 2:14 pm
Looks pretty awesome! Reading the reviews, it seems they plan to stay very close to the original (even in the characters' costumes).
There are however, several major differences:
1) almost everything seems to take place on Third Earth now, as opposed to Thundera.
2) there's many more Mutants...
re: Is Harry Potter the greatest achievement in cinematic history?
Posted by ImmortalSynn on 5/30/11 at 2:09 pm
Not monetarily (which is what matters), not even close.
While it's up there with the Spiderman, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, and XMen earnings... it still doesn't come to anywhere close to the Star Wars saga even in nominal terms.
Adjusted for inflation, it's not even in the same universe...

PS, I do find it rather odd/ridiculous to listen to this wealthy Westerner dude get all preachy (about conservation and release of all caught fish) to the 3rd-Worlder types who help him land them, and who probably haven't had a good meal in a few days or so...

"River Monsters" with Jeremy Wade

Good show... sorta like "Swamp People" but with a British accent.
Marathon of it on now, may as well have it playing while picking up around the house. Anyone else like/routinely watch this show?...
