I was exposed to this at an early age, growing up in Fairbanks, Alaska. An establishment called Alaskaland had a little zoo off to one side. The moose and musk oxen were basically fine, but their one bear had gone completely insane years earlier. It had a sort of Mayan step-pyramid in its enclosure, and spent all of…

Quite frankly, pretty much all the new Futuramas seem off to me.

I almost always have this going on, when I'm moving around in a dream.

It also happens everytime there's an article about folks who think there are insects under their skin.

Myself, I mentally cover it the same way I do with folks playing pixie-type characters in a modern-supernatural RPG I'm involved in.

In a way, it's a lot like the pattern that goes on in Man Bites Dog — for every time the main character is presented in a potentially charming way, it's balanced out by reminding the viewer just how horrible the main character actually is.
