View original postSorry, thinking of the South Park movie there

True story, I went and watched South Park on the big screen not long after it came out with a friend and in the row forward and left there was a lady and her young son. It is rare I see someone's jaw actually drop in horror and the only time I can recall seeing a parent literally clamp hands over eyes and ears of their child and flee. My friend and I amused ourselves over coffee about this incident later and as he was an anime film fan he remarked on the assumption many people make that a cartoon equals safe child-viewing. I was a somewhat sheltered 18-year old college senior at the time, and I'd seen anime on the Sci-fi channel so I thought I appreciated the remark not realizing what I assumed was meant by the 'adult' film was not what he meant by adult film. That resulted in me coming home to stay with my mother that winter and as we enjoyed watching sci-fi together we rented some films, anime was in sci-fi at the time and one of our picks was a classic film called "Legend of the Overfiend". I believe I set a land speed record hurtling toward the VCR power button when the screen gave us both a first viewing experience of "Tentacle Rape" and caused me to later recall the South Park incident and with new empathy for the mother and son in the theater.

I'm curious what brings the reference to mind, random humor?

Yeah, pretty random. Just came to mind when I saw some f-bombs in the subthread and I thought of the censor chip and that of course led to the song. Nothing personal, of course

A whole generation has voted DNC twice. Dannymac - 07/10/2013 04:18:25 PM 745 Views
It voted RNC twice right before that, then DNC twice before that, then RNC thrice before that Isaac - 07/10/2013 05:18:31 PM 749 Views

When gerrymandering there is no tomorrow, just the current decade Isaac - 07/10/2013 07:29:39 PM 790 Views
I'm curious as to why you say "unpopular bill" here Larry - 08/10/2013 09:02:49 AM 817 Views
Force of habit or slip of tongue, "Unpopular set of laws" Isaac - 08/10/2013 03:05:18 PM 816 Views
Ha! Larry - 09/10/2013 08:37:25 AM 832 Views
Bad enough, no? Legolas - 08/10/2013 06:32:06 PM 659 Views
Certainly Isaac - 08/10/2013 08:23:34 PM 896 Views
give a coherent reason for the shutdown and the label of economic terrorist will go away moondog - 07/10/2013 08:11:27 PM 922 Views
Why should I try to discourage you from using a label that makes you look like a fanatic? Isaac - 07/10/2013 09:23:40 PM 801 Views
i guess i should have put the disclaimer you asked for so you would know to be offended, is that it? moondog - 07/10/2013 10:49:43 PM 787 Views
It's pretty fucking sad any of us think we need a reason to act civilly, courtesy is its own reward *NM* Isaac - 08/10/2013 07:50:00 AM 473 Views
So you mean I shouldn't call you "an uncle fucking horsefucker" then? Larry - 08/10/2013 09:04:06 AM 738 Views
That's correct Larry, that would be unproductive Isaac - 08/10/2013 04:04:39 PM 819 Views
Of course it would; I rarely use such words toward people who might be still involved in a convo Larry - 09/10/2013 08:39:22 AM 732 Views

hey, i've given plenty of reasonable alternatives, i don't see why you can't compromise with me *NM* moondog - 08/10/2013 10:09:44 PM 401 Views
Compromises? You've called my party terrorists and made it clear it wasn't hyperbole in your eyes Isaac - 08/10/2013 10:23:05 PM 812 Views
read what you wrote, direct it at your party, and look up "satire" if you still don't get it..... *NM* moondog - 08/10/2013 10:43:31 PM 501 Views
It's always painful when people think they're being funny or clever rather than sullen Isaac - 08/10/2013 11:33:36 PM 755 Views
remember that time when the Dems shut down the government to stop the iraq war? oh wait.... moondog - 09/10/2013 12:42:53 AM 798 Views
Probably a bad analogy pick, many of the Dem-initiated shutdowns were over defense spending Isaac - 09/10/2013 01:11:38 AM 715 Views
ok, henceforth instead of terrorists i will use "tea-hadists". is that more to your liking? moondog - 09/10/2013 10:26:36 PM 921 Views
No. Overdue, insincere, and half-assed attempts at marginal courtesy is not 'to my liking' Isaac - 09/10/2013 10:40:57 PM 777 Views
and here is the big picture, in a nutshell moondog - 10/10/2013 12:26:18 AM 857 Views
"Here's the big picture" remarks shouldn't start by complaining about your personal paycheck Isaac - 10/10/2013 12:37:34 AM 737 Views
i think 800,000 federal workers would disagree but YMMV moondog - 10/10/2013 12:44:29 AM 1035 Views
The GOP House already voted to give them back pay Isaac - 10/10/2013 01:21:27 AM 791 Views
the House is good at making empty gestures without actually addressing the causes moondog - 11/10/2013 05:17:34 PM 828 Views
How is agreeing to backpay an empty gesture? Isaac - 11/10/2013 05:37:58 PM 1138 Views
it's empty because the shutdown persists. end the shutdown and they won't need back pay moondog - 11/10/2013 11:02:20 PM 849 Views
Make up your mind, you complained early that you weren't getting paid Isaac - 11/10/2013 11:21:57 PM 745 Views
Clever. Did you make that one up yourself? I like it, will have to remember that one... *NM* Legolas - 09/10/2013 11:31:22 PM 422 Views
i can't claim to have invented it, but use it as you wish *NM* moondog - 09/10/2013 11:34:39 PM 420 Views
I do remember the time when some Democrats were tarnished with that pejorative brush... Larry - 09/10/2013 08:48:50 AM 813 Views

That schtick got old a long time ago. You need newer, better material. Larry - 10/10/2013 03:43:31 AM 767 Views
you'll be rid of me for good soon enough, don't worry about it moondog - 11/10/2013 05:10:00 PM 955 Views
I couldn't care less either way. Just make stronger arguments. *NM* Larry - 11/10/2013 05:55:05 PM 437 Views
you do realize you would come out a loser in said anarchy don't you? random thoughts - 11/10/2013 03:56:24 AM 801 Views
You do realize that when I say "there are moments when I..." that it implies something else? Larry - 11/10/2013 08:22:26 AM 863 Views
