This is so bizarre to watch, considering how many cartoons from the time period were about food rationing. If everything was so wonderful, why was everyone borrowing a cup of sugar?

Yep.

I'll have to record one and bleep out the work bits. You have not heard it.

Well! I might have to start sending all my lady-bit bills to these folks. I'm not having an abortion—in fact, I'm preventing them! I'm helping stop abortion! They can surely get behind that, can't they?

You think those are terrifying? You've never met Randy.

I'm half-Slav and it bothered me.
