I remember the same hullabaloo over the movie Heathers when I was young. At least that movie was actually entertaining.

Like your Facebook friends, my husband, who is the same age and grew up in the same area as I, had zero fucking clue what I was talking about when I reminisced about Barbapapa.

Basically PARENTS YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF WHAT THIS SHOW IS ABOUT! PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE FOR TALKING POINTS BEFORE YOUR CHILD WATCHES THIS SHOW! PLEASE CALL THIS HOTLINE IF YOUR CHILD ACTS STRANGELY AFTER WATCHING!

Purely anecdotal, but I heard zero kids discussing this show before the school board sent out panicky letters to parents. Now they’ve all seen it.

I thought of it for the first time in 30 years, because they had some sketchy looking juice at the grocery store and the bottles were Barbapapa characters. Why this product is for sale in 2017 remains a mystery.

It was a French series of books and a tv show. I remember loving the books in the mid 80's, although I couldn’t for the life of me tell you what it was about.

The bottles immediately reminded me of these guys, albeit not as trippy and cool.

I actually paid money to watch Kuffs in the theatre. I also rented In The Name of the Rose for a teenage sleepover (I’d probably like that film now, but I still have too much lingering bitterness about how boring it was to rewatch it).

I saw them for free because nobody called in to my college radio show for the tickets (possibly because no one listened to my college radio show).

I mean, he has 2 eyes, why does he look so much like a cyclops?

It’s a BBC 2 series called The Plantagenets. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

I just posted the same thing. I am 99% sure Blink 182 has played state fairs.

Probably more mystifying to me than anything else about this, why were the majority millennial crowd shelling out those kinds of bucks to see Ja Rule and fucking Blink 182? I remember going to a Blink 182 concert, like, 20 years ago and being vaguely embarrassed because they weren’t considered cool.

Yaasss! The Emmy often goes to big, splashy performances. To be able to play someone as cold, calculating and composed as Claire Underwood, yet still make the character likeable somehow is a real tour de force.

I think they’ve actually loosened up the rules on how royals dress children, I believe it used to be that clothing had to be purchased or made by manufacturers who had a royal warrant. While I’m sure all the children’s clothes are made in the UK, I think all other rules have fallen by the wayside.

Was just watching a documentary on the Plantagenets last night. I’m happy that THIS princess won’t be shipped away to marry a mentally unstable 40 year old.

And I mean, they really chose the perfect demographic to grift. Grifting old people or families: sad. Grifting rich millennial kids: hilarious.

Don’t apologize Bella, after a tough week at work, sitting on my patio, sipping wine and reading obsessively about the Fyre festival has really made my weekend.

I have been thoroughly enjoying this thread. Not sure if the term is used in France, but in Québec, trou de cul is both commonly used and actual translation of asshole. If my dude meant to say asshole he had plenty of choices.

I am not against the right to a speedy trial, just think that prioritizing to ensure the worst criminals are tried may not be a bad idea.
