“I mean it’s one super limited edition sneaker injected with real human blood, Michael, what could it cost? Ten dollars?”

I think the Satanic Panic peaked in the late 80's/early 90's when people were literally going to prison because of the SRA madness... And the media treated these (more often than not outrageous claims where children said things like preschool teachers flushed them down the toilet) as legitimate events.

Stop acting like this is something new. KISS were just as guilty of packaging and marketing an image to sell merch. Right down to using the “made with our own blood” gimmick in one of their products.

Sex and the City did like eight episodes where Carrie was victim blamed for her expensive shoes.

It wasn’t just the people they were interviewing*. The hosts of their biggest shows like Carlson, Hannity, and Ingraham were also making the claims. They devoted entire hours to what they dubbed “the big lie” and the idea that Dominion was throwing out votes. It wasn’t even allusions, they said it pointblank. This…

I believe Dominion is also expected (if not already has) sued OAN and Newsmax and their pockets are nowhere as deep as Fox’s.

He signed the deal with Benioff and Weiss and HBO with the understanding the books would be done and they were not. It was then up to Benioff & Weiss to do the hard lifting for the whole entire series, something they were clearly not up to and something that shouldn’t have been thrown at them.

No my point was your point is moot and you were so quick to give your hot take that you wound up regurgitating a right wing talking point about something that’s not even happening. Just across the Kinja family, both Gizmodo and AV Club wrote articles on Disney making it so only adults could access (at most) five of…

The problem is Comedy Central has tainted what roasts used to be. It used to be comedians being roasted by their friends and contemporaries. Now it’s celebrities being roasted by comedians and D-list celebrities who don’t even know them and there’s no love. It’s just all mean all the time and trying to get a bigger…

Uh huh. And is that why you’ve made the choice to speak like a caveperson or is that its own thing, Oog?

Pedophilia. One of the producers even expressed his own worries that Jackson may have used the show to groom kids by gaining their trust.

Do you have reading comprehension problems? Peter Pan and Dumbo aren’t being removed, they’re being made available exclusively on adult profiles so parents can have a say in whether or not their children watch these films and set the conversation.
Seeing an offensive caricature of yourself is incredibly hurtful and if…

#34 Preparation H. And with that, I just became the king of ice cream.

It’s not just the last few years. A&E, CourtTV, Discovery Channel, Lifetime, etc. devoted daily blocks of programming to murder documentaries for decades. Discovery Channel even started an entire murder network and serial killer programming got the primetime spot.

Wasn’t there a Babar film in the early 90's where Celeste’s village is burned to the ground and her people enslaved by rhinos?

Yeah. I was hoping Gargoyles would be featured in Super 7's Disney line (or possibly even get their own line). This is disappointing. Not that Super 7 doesn’t have their own issues, but they’re nowhere as bad as NECA.
And they listen to their customers. When there were complaints about the Thundercats figures, they…

I don’t know. There’s a certain basicness to Karens, and Lucille and Mallory are anything but basic.

And the Treehouse of Horror episodes. Remember, Treehouse of Horror V (which is generally regarded as the best) was (in part) an exercise in seeing how violent they could make it since a congressman had called the show (at a time when the Halloween Specials and even Itchy & Scratchy shorts were relatively tame) “one…

And the show isn’t live, they could have edited that out. But they’ve also kept Nick Cannon’s anti-Semitic Hotep-ass around.

No. It’s pretty much the show, to the point that it seems like they taught the two actors who play the older siblings to yell like Jeff Garlin. It’s actually pretty strange, I’ve never seen actors match their style of yelling before.
