I've been watching Seinfeld and there's this episode from where Elaine is dating a guy named Joel Rifkin, who shares his name with a serial killer who was caught the year of the episode. She convinces him to change his name, and suggests some sports players' names, one of which is O.J. She's very excited about this, begging him to change his name to O.J.

I like how quickly that one aged out. Was that commented on at the time, I wonder?

I also remember that people were willing to pay insane amount for so called "golden" telephone numbers (numbers that are easy to remember).

I'd pay a little bit to be able to say my phone number is something like STONE 0823-L as if it's 1925

He's done some cringey stuff but is genuine about it and people are forgiving.

The most recent thing was using "spastic" in a derogatory way in one of his songs. Was sincere in his apology and everyone moved on. Amazing what happens when you don't double down on poo poo and whine about cancel culture.

It's like people who accuse you of saying something ignorant are satisfied when you've learned something. I don't get it!

Song of the South might have remained somewhat more palatable if Uncle Remus had been telling his own grandkids the Bre'er Rabbit stories he grew up with, instead of spinning a yarn to a couple white kids.

This hasn't aged poorly, but seeing that cassette reminded me of a VHS that we had ("Stories of the Black Tradition") and I remember really enjoying this story about Anansi that involves the gum doll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLJ7PmeIBs8

It also had this amazing James Earl Jones narrated story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPd2jbnRqUo

This isn't super relevant, I just saw a chance to share some animations/stories I really loved.

Anansi stories are the best.

Tiger obviously moved out of Africa because he got tired of having his balls stolen all the time.

One time he even tricked Tiger into going to a blacksmith and getting his balls smashed with a hammer

Which honestly took far too little convincing

But either way, yeah moving is probably the best course of action

The whole goddamn point of the Fellowship was to sneak the ring into Mordor. Sauron is expecting an army, not a few hobbits and their pals. The eagles would have been eaten for lunch.

This is what kills me about this conversation every time. WHY did they give it to TWO UNIMPORTANT HOBBITS in the FIRST PLACE? Same reason! Because SAURON (THE GIANT, WORLD-SEEING EYE) ain't looking at them, he's looking at the assembled military forces of middle-earth. Big fuckoff eagles are like sending bombers directly at anti-aircraft artillery and going WTF when it doesn't work

I feel like you could have done the same movie with "mindless consumerism increasingly becomes people's only option in a capitalist society" sort of take rather than "man idiots pop out a lot of kids, here's how they'll gently caress up the world" and it wouldn't be as gross, maybe.
