White america dons a mask and patrols latin american alleyways looking for nazis expatriates in drag attempting to evade the hague war crimes tribunal. I don't think you need a mask, though, this one type of vigilantism is pretty much universally accepted. You caught hitler. Go get your face in the papers.

Plom Bar posted:What is the origination of this again? In August 2013, JRRose! did a fairly innocuous back-to-school cartoon:  One poster took umbrage with the idea of weak children having difficulty with the weight, and when confronted with the "holy poo poo, they're kids" argument dug in deeper and deeper, that heavy lifting was the only way to "get kids swole". He eventually did the "ha ha, trap spung, social experiment" defense and got a great custom AV. Looking back on it, If you have archives, ground zero is right here.

There's still probably a bunch of people who sit down to watch new episodes out of habit. I haven't actually watched an episode made within the last 5 years or so but I did catch a snippet of one and just couldn't stand the way it looks. It's hard to explain but everything just looks so god drat shiny now and it bugs me. Frankly I don't think going entirely digital has worked well for thes how visually.

While the US ratings are just slightly above-average now, apparently the show is still a huge hit overseas, and the revenues are strong enough to justify continued production.

I remember like...ten or more years ago when there was news that Groening said he was thinking about ending the show. It's crazy. Considering how the show is literally outliving its cast (the actress that played Ms. Krabappel died a few years ago  ), I was kinda hoping that would give them the impetus to wrap things up before one of the other big voice actors died so the show could at least have a somewhat dignified send-off. Guess it's zombie Simpsons from here on out.

It had already outlived Phil Hartman over a decade and a half ago. I don't think the voices of supporting characters leaving or dying is impetus enough to cancel a cartoon. That said, The Simpsons really should have been off the air for a long time for the sake of good taste. I don't think you can find a single fan who doesn't think it's a shadow of its former self.

For those who don't know me, I'm from Japan originally. Anyway, there's a cartoon there that's been running twice as long as the Simpsons, airing since 1969 with new episodes today. Some of the main characters voices got recast, although there are still others (including the title lead) that's been performing since day 1. Oh, and the creator's been dead for about 20 years, and the comic strip it was based on only ran for 28 years, which means the TV version ran longer. And the reason they avoid the "older episodes are better" trope from viewers is because they never, ever, re-released the older episodes. Apparently the creator saw it coming, so when VHS tapes became the norm, she put a clause in the contract forbidding the studio from putting out any episodes on home media (she had enough foresight to include any new medias that come after, including DVDs, blu-rays, and streaming). As a result, copies of episodes made before VCRs were invented are hard to find. Yes, none of the 2,500+ episodes were ever released on home format. Okay, enough derailing from me.

Just in case anyone was wondering, this is a reference to the excellent Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania, Australia. It's also done all the above to an out-of-the-way town like Canberra and has a penchant for disturbing art. I'm pretty sure the last panel is a reference to its gigantic wall of plaster vaginas. Thanks Pope! Oh, also, the Abbott government grabbed 100 million from our arts council and gave it to the sole discretion of their arts minister in a naked power grab so there's that too.

Yeah, Brandis (the Arts Minister) decided he didn't like the what the independent Arts Council was funding, so he made a new one. He's also the Attorney-General, and did a similar thing with our Human Rights Council.

LashLightning posted:That's George Osborne. He has a weird nose that sports a small amount of cleavage and looks a little like a bum, taken here to extremes. He's the Chancellor of the Exchequer, i.e. deals with the government's purse, and wants lots and lots of cuts to various social programs (like the NHS) to fund the backing up of various financial institutions wounded by the "credit crunch", and thus is depicted as a torturer/in lots of leather. A dominatrix called Miss Whiplash also posted pictures of Osborne in her flat a while back, claiming that Osborne used her services and took cocaine with her. Since making these claims Miss Whiplash has been arrested and questioned by the police several times on "unrelated" matters.

Pickled Tink posted:It wasn't that. It was that he didn't like them publicly rejecting Transfield as a sponsor because of their involvement in our offshore concentration camps. He made a huge stink about it at the time, and with the latest budget he finally got his revenge. This is why he used language like "breaking the monopoly" with regards to cutting their funding. This makes me appreciate the conciseness and quick with of Ruben Bolling.
