RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] saturday morning cartoons are evil

["Ross, Matt" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I know my mind has been poluted, but where is my 10 yr old brother getting
it?  Considering its a taboo subject in our home, there are two remaining
sources, school and cartoons.  Considering the school doesn't teach it,
we're down to TV, which does include the innuendo, or his fellow students
who are as much limited in their exposure as he is.  Also, it is not
perversion to notice perversion.  To ignore blatant innuendo is naive at
best, not innocent.

Which brings us to the very fun mind game of, lets act like what someone
said was lewd, and see how quickly they can make something out of it.
Seriously. You don't have to be a pervert, or think of any thing perverted.
If they have just the slightest bit of a dirty mind, you can make them think
you are a pervert by acting like every thing they said was dirty. Thing is,
trying to convince them that you didn't have a dirty thought in your head
when you did it. After all, your the pervert, right?:-)
I took the wing thing as being a very innocent expression of surprise,
myself. I could see how it could be taken as innuendo. I think some people
just have dirty minds. :-)

Yes.  The shows I hate the worst (from the perspective of trying to enjoy
them with your kids) are ones that leave either the parents or the kids
completely stranded.  The best ones are shows that can maintain interest
for everybody *for extended periods of time*.  All of the Pixar stuff has
done that.

Obviously it was a great idea for all of the space toys to be completely
convinced of their real-ness (gotta be a factory defect) when they are
first opened.  My favorite line from both movies is almost certainly
Buzz's "Years of academy training...wasted!"  I'd have *loved* to see the
punch up session that line came from.

What; I'm not part of the intended audience? :-)  Seriously, the
wing-schwing move is...interesting in that all non-innocent
interpretations basically require you to be non-innocent.  No kid I've
ever seen watch the movie has interpreted this as anything but (at most)
a gesture of surprise.
