Radio Patrol




Actually that seems like a bad plan to me, but maybe that's because I'm not a criminal mastermind.









You know, there comes a time at the end of most Radio Patrol storylines where all the major plot points have been given and all that's left is weeks of chasing the bad guy around. And it never fails to remind me of the end of that MST3K movie Racket Girls where all the fun stuff is over it's just this interminable car chase set to an overly dramatic car chase. And whenever I see a Radio Patrol bad guy climb into a getaway car, I never fail to have the refrain "Ukrainia! My bitter homeland!" play in my mind.

Skip to 1:25:00 to cut to the chase. Skip to 1:26:35 to cut even more to the chase. Or just watch the whole thing because it's a great episode and Peaches is a delight.

PewdiePie was an LPer? It was never clear to me what exactly he did. His voice was so annoying I was always impatient for his ads to end. Also, didn't he participate in one of those stupid Hillary endorsement videos, or am I thinking of some other generic YouTube "celebrity"?

The anti-semitic stuff was apparently from a bit where he was being paid to say stuff his fans sent in or something. He may have done it in a bid to get banned so he has a reason to retire, but YouTube will never do it because if he changes his mind he could start up a genuine competitor to them with his 50 million subscribers.

In the newest controversy, he paid some Indian guys on Fiverr to dance around with a sign saying "Death to all Jews!", similar to the time he hired an actor to dress as Jesus and say "Hitler did nothing wrong!"

In fact, his "ironic" jokes have gone on well beyond this latest bit:

quote:

quote:
It would be really nice if people could please stop claiming that it took an antisemitic joke for Disney to drop PewDiePie despite all his prior racist and misogynistic content.

PewDiePie has expressed antisemitic and Nazi sentiments in his videos long before this incident with fiverr.

August 7, 2016: PewDiePie, wearing a Make America Great Again hat, begins his video with a swastika and other Nazi imagery, and uses a photo of Hitler as a segue between clips

September 24, 2016: In a video criticising YouTube policy, he shows a clip of Hitler giving a speech

October 15, 2016: PewDiePie posts swastikas drawn by his fans

December 8, 2016: PewDiePie wears a brown military uniform while watching a Hitler clip at the end of his video

Antisemitic website the Daily Stormer has also given PewDiePie praise for Nazi imagery in his videos, writing:

“PewDiePie is /ourguy/.

This latest video is unapologetically full-Nazi.

The guy has 52 million subscribers, compared to the number 2 YouTuber that has 30 million. He is arguably the most watched person on the planet.

And he is pushing hardcore GTKRWN materials.

In this video, he calls out the Jews for killing Jesus, and points out several times that Hitler did nothing wrong.

At the very least, he is making the masses comfortable with our ideas.

I hope he keeps doing this – staying chill, I mean. Not going too far. I think he’s aware that he’s eventually going to get banned – if he wasn’t ready for that, he wouldn’t be calling out the Jews head-on like this.”


So please understand that he’s targeted Jews in the past without major outrage or punishment. He’s used Nazi imagery as a joke in his videos before. The “death to all Jews” video that caused outrage wasn’t the first antisemitic video PewDiePie posted. He’s also racist and misogynistic and he should have been called out on these things and dropped a long time ago.

But his antisemitic content neither began nor ended with the Fiverr video.

So yeah, gently caress pewdiepie, but also I think this is funny because Blondie will never try to be topical or current ever again.

The WSJ wrote a dishonest article about Pewdiepie trying to make a scandal out of some of his bits, which kicked off a flood of similarly dishonest clickbait articles and op-ed pieces.

I'm not a fan of Pewdiepie, but what the news media did was clearly malicious and self-serving at his expense, and you'd have to be excessively spiteful or stupid to have gone along with it.

Command Ant wasn't the one who brought the subject up. Frankly the relationship of the PewdiePie story with the Blondie comic that provoked the discussion was tangential at best. Also unnecessarily cryptic. I was the first one to actually mention PewdiePie by name, to the point I was wondering if the thread was talking about some other YouTuber. The Wall Street Journal story broke a week ago.

The definitive Garfield experience is the old cartoon.

The Garfield cartoon and animated specials are one of the few adaptions that I consider to actually be better than their source material (another being the Dilbert cartoon).

Honestly though, when Davis applies himself he's actually capabable of some great stuff (Garfield: His 9 Lives for example). Problem is that nowadays he's more focused on the business side of things than he is the creative side (he is a pretty good sport about the whole thing though, such as embracing Garfield Minus Garfield rather than shutting it down and even releasing his own collection based on the concept).
