Probably why they didn't charge her for it. Some poor employee's head will fall, no doubt.

Truffles are a flavour enhancer. You wouldn't drink a glass of vinegar, or a spoonful of wasabi, unless as a challenge - and you wouldn't eat a whole truffle.

I know, it's just counting in presidents makes everything sound much older... especially since we've had so many two-termers recently.

Wait, Cher lived through eleven US presidents? Damn.

There is no meat in mincemeat, whatever Wikipedia might be saying, unless you're making some sort of Victorian revival Christmas. Even suet is not used as much these days, because it's both expensive and disgusting.

What about Lotteria and Mos?

There was an extra subtext to that final scene. Yes, ostentatiously Stan and Kyle agreed that maybe this is the future of entertainment... but only because Pewdiepie was watching them and they were afraid to insult the YouTube commentariat.

They have real life events in Marvel universe timeline, though- Cap in WW2, etc. The wuxia universe is just about as real as the Marvel one.

Now that I think about it, the Avengers have a guy with a bow and arrow, and another with a big hammer, running around in 2014 New York, so a flintlock in 1930s China is not that far-fetched...

Yeah, thing is, you'll find no anti-German sentiment in Poland or France whatsoever anymore. There's very little anti-Russian sentiment in Finland, and what there is of it, is fueled by recent events, rather than the war. My grandfather died in a death camp, and my home town was leveled to the ground by the Nazis…

The girl will go places.

An over-the-top wuxia fantasy is not the medium through which these matters should be discussed, though. There's a clear distinction between a propaganda show that has all the subtlety of a war-time Donald Duck cartoon, and, say, a historical documentary or Schindler's List.

Eh, I'm sure you'll find weirder stuff on Etsy.

Yes, but that was 70 years ago and is hardly relevant today. The only reason they're showing these things today is to fuel anti-Japanese sentiment because the government likes to use that to draw attention away from any real problems.

Eh, this is internet, I'm here to mock, not educate anyone. My issue is with ignorant people, whoever they are. And you're still using that word "Asian", which means exactly nothing at all, and just confirming lack of basic grasp of world knowledge. What's an "Asian temple" anyway? A temple in Iran is a mosque. I…

The plot of the series.

It's propaganda because it's just one of the many similar series shown relentlessly on Chinese TV. It's as if there was nothing else on US TV except Red Dawn rip-offs.

Yeah, no. There's no such thing as "Asian culture". Persia has more in common culturally and ethnically with Eastern Europe than with China. Iranians are white ("Aryan", even), Muslim, and speaking Indo-European language. (ethnic) Chinese are none of those. If you can't get that most basic difference, that means your…

And this probably isn't even the most ridiculous Sino-Japanese show on Chinese TV right now. Have a look at this compilation of awesomesauce - makes you wonder how they couldn't win against Japan for eight years with all this firepower and super-skill...?

The show is set in 1930s China. 1930s China looked like this:
