I know where you are coming from. A few years ago I was vegetrian for about a year and broke it over.....a Bunnings snag or two.

^ The bit about Weinstein reminds me of that scene from the Kony 2012 video (pretty obscure cultural reference nowadays, soz) in which the white guy shows his son a photo of the black Kony and asks him if he's a good guy or bad guy (the son doesn't know him, but can magically just tell that he's a bad guy!). Weinstein, on the other hand, is fat and ugly, and so are Disney villains, so...

Anyway, god bless the kids at least for not being brainwashed about Woody Allen yet.

I think Woody Allen comes in semester 2, the one about old white / Jewish guys and younger Asian women.

I'm still waiting for the aha...got you; it all fake and you fell for it.

Did a quick google, and you're right: it's legit.

Insert something here about American "comedians" + "the resistance"...

(And I don't mean to say there's anything wrong about teaching children about political issues, or trying to do it in a """"fun"""" way. But trust Americans to make that concept as cringeworthy as possible.)

If it were Tim Allen, I might well assist in framing him.

OK, so people get weird about swimming in the Ocean in Australia because we have sharks (and crocs up north) and yanks and poms think Australia is Danger Island where all the fauna wants to kill you, but they have brain eating amoebas hiding in there lakes.

%$^ that, I'll take my chances with the sharks. :shock:
