I am not for caving into the PC police.

I simply fail to see whether a man is perceived as being femmy or not has anything to do with the quality of an animated tv show they work on.

Oh, I was just looking to say something dismissive and so that's the what came to mind.  Yeah, it ultimately has little to do with the TV show.  (If I disliked every TV show by a gay producer, I think that'd limit my options by half.)

I had a dream the other night that Earth was invaded and conquered by the Martians from Mar Attacks!. The Martians essentially turned the planet into one big concentration camp, and slowly began to exterminate the human race.

There were also Jedi in my dream. They weren't aliens, themselves, though; they were all Earth-born humans and they wore normal clothes. The Martians were targeting them the most for annihilation, so they had gone into hiding. Spider-Man - who was also a Jedi - was the only who was still operating in public.

The dream ended with all the Jedi coming out of hiding to defeat the Martians once and for all. They took out their plastic lightsabers - coloured yellow and magenta for the most part - which became real lightsabers, and pooled their Force powers together to drive the Martian invasion force from the Earth. This final action is only implied to happen, though, and isn't actually seen; the dream comes to an end with a weird light show accompanied by New Age music, and then the credits literally started rolling.

Freud says :

Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy.

That's a fun dream.  I always feel so refreshed when I wake up from any sort of vivid, dynamic dream.  Even nightmares feel cathartic.

There seems to be a ton of Star Wars references on TV lately.

Yes! I won the Faces Laserdiscs on eBay recently and today, they finally showed up. These look way better on my 42" TV than I would've expected, and my player is even a measly Pioneer CLD-S315.

So screw GOUT - now I can finally get my OOT fix (and a fair share of home video nostalgia) till Harmy and -1 wrap up their projects :)

Star Wars Random thought.... Um.... .... 'kay I'm just going to post some quick thought about Star Wars in this text when my real motive for posting in this thread is the pic joke below. So in order for my post to remain on topic small Star Wars comment. Han is cool. Anakin is hot. Luke is handy. Londo is secretive. Leia is bold. Chewy has fur. Padme what the fuck is wrong with you?

Soo...Spider-Man's costume counts as "normal clothes?"

DOUBLE STANDARDS!

Also, ALLOL at "Londo."

 

LONDO : Do you know what the last Xon said before he died?

BEHIND THE DOOR HAN SCREAMS IN PAIN

LONDO : Sounds like he's heard that joke before, no?

Some of these are nice.

What programs had references?  I've noticed a bunch, but I watch too much tv and am spotting them all the time.  Eastbound and Down, Whitney, Big Bang Theory, Chelsea, Comic Book Men, Colbert, Daily Show, Todd Margaret in the last month or so.

In response to the comment that it's best to (basically) just give in to the PC police, I'll just ape Joe Rogan's sentiment: You have to stand up for yourself and what's right.  You can't keep submitting to the media/political establishment's commands and further limit and limit and limit your vocabulary - but, worse than that, your thoughts, too.  Because even if you think that you've properly limited your vocabulary....pretty soon they're just going to change the rules, anyway, and still more words will be forbidden.

 Instead of being the brave rebel fighting the PC police who want to control your thoughts (ooooooooh scaaaaaary!!!) maybe you're being the guy who might step back and reevaluate his actions. Is calling Dave Filoni effiminate really "standing up for what's right?" If you think it is, perhaps a quick look at your values might be in order.

Why mention that Filoni is, in your opinion, somehow effiminette? Do you mention he's tall? His hair color? His nationality? His lacross stats?

Are you being "commanded to further limit your vocabulary", or are you being challenged to consider your predjudices? If Filoni has a lisp and you don't like how he walks, what bearing does that have on a cartoon he produces unless you consider being effinminette (and whatever else you imply) a bad thing that somehow rubs off on his work.

While I didn't read what you said on TFN that got you banned, I do notice a wide group that conflates rudeness and thoughlessness with bravery.

Maybe Vader's mask wasn't to help him breath after all, perhaps it was just to power his cell phone :

It will also work equally well as part of a Bane or Shredder costume.
