the year is 1996 Rage Against the Machine just released their sophomore album, Evil Empire
rebellion buzzed through the airwaves of america
Terror, the product ya push
Well I'm a truth addict, aww poo poo I gotta head rush
but if you were a young child, you weren't likely to know it. it's altogether more likely that you were being fed a conveniently whitewashed worldview. one full of happy endings and empty of conflicts except for those that could be wrapped up in time for your bedtime at 8:30 pm.
Lying always, sucking on a bottle of
That sweet indulgent fluid
and one figure was at the front of this campaign of complacency
meet doug funny, your sheeple in chief. after a two year hiatus, disney had just renewed the series for a new run. what's the matter, walt? were people starting to wake up? this new run didn't even feature the original voice of doug, billy west, an actually good voice actor (futurama), and one who apparently wasn't willing to play ball with the new regime. his brave act of defiance sadly wasn't enough, as disney stupidly got some idiot to replace him, and he couldn't even do the voice right.
Father's expectations
Soul soaked in spit and urine
the world of doug was a like a terrifying quaalude fueled haze. was there a topical issue that RATM took a powerful and poetic stand against? well doug was there to wash it over. go back to sleep, children, it was only your imagination. racism?
this is skeeter. a joke. a parody of a proud person of color. he can barely speak, and does so mostly in animal-like honks.
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown skin man
Since their grandparents bought one
the mental reprogramming has begun. but what about female representation? hosed again. here she is, children, the object of your desire, the apple of your eye. or should i say the candied apple?
patty mayonnaise. mmmm, feel like burgers, kids? i wonder why...
And while the gut eaters strain to pull the mud from their mouths
They force our ears to go deaf to the screams in the south
what doug did for the state of children's programming in america is akin to what bush did for public safety in iraq
it's a sickening piece of fascist propaganda and the writing is really hit or miss.
/ 5
And Disney bought the fantasies and piles of eyes
And ABC's new thrill ride of trials and lies
