Fox Fumbles

POST CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT : CLICK ONLY IF 18 OR OLDER
On the heels of the Penn State sex scandal Fox's newest cartoon "Allen Gregory" aired an episode of a homosexual father pushing an Elementary school dance into going gay. Again, an adult male pushed the dance theme to be boys asking boys and girls asking girls to the dance.

ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?

This third episode should have been canned in light of the recent events. The feel of this episode was an aggressively predatory homosexual agenda. The show ends with a speech that encourages the children to experiment sexually and then make up their mind.

After the speech the Principle does blurt out "Everything he said is wrong!" Funny thing about the show, if you consider it funny, is that all the  characters that portray any common sense in the show are ignored or belittled, constantly. Is this social commentary on liberal bias in the media deriding traditional values? Or is this thought to be funny because anyone that makes sense is ignored? It is the same joke over and over; it was not funny the first time in the show and it still isn't.

Why is this show on at 8:30? Probably because they are counting on a bridging viewership from "the Simpson's" at 8:00 to "Family Guy" at 9:00. I dare Fox to move the show to 9:30. They won't do it. Do you know why? Every local news station that follows Fox's animation block would be up in arms. Local news viewership for Fox would plummet. Review NBC's debacle with Leno, Conan, and the Tonight show. Local news suffered miserably.

I said it before and I'll say it again: "Allen Gregory must die!"

I know I can change the channel. You didn't have to read this blog entry.

Killing the Baby Seals

Way up north where the air gets cold
We're running out of money and we're running out of gold
So now I earn my living
Killing the baby seals

You can hit `em with a bat you can hit `em with a brick
You can poke `em in th eye with your eye pokin stick
That's how I earn my living
Killing the baby seals

You can slash `em in the head you can slash `em in the throat
Then throw `em in the back of your fishing boat
That's how I earn my living
Killing the baby seals.

Government Planning

Neat!

This is a protest in Bogata, Columbia. I do not know the overall arching ideal of the protest and whether or not I would be in agreement, but I have this to say: "Wow. You have my attention. Who came up with this? I wish I had a job for them. Magnimus splash!"

Protest signs according to:

Yahoo Babelfish: We must right to infuriate to us. Education of excellence and for all.

Google Translate: Have the right to be outraged. Excellence and education for all.

What would 99% do?

It is hard to believe that the people that expanded the country to the West did it without iPhones, the Internet, or protesting. They did it with a few tools, inspiration, and perspiration. The tools and opportunities that are available to us today are mind-boggling. What are your desires? Given the chance to fulfill them, would you?

Let us then forget desires.

Let us focus on something you really believe in. You believe in it so much you join a protest. You camp out in a park day after day, night after night, week after week. In this bad economy you believe a job is a right. You demand that Wall Street provides jobs.

Then it happens. Job providers come to you. They meet your demands. They come providing jobs.

And then you say...

Allen Gregory Must Die

POST CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT : CLICK ONLY IF 18 OR OLDER

Sunday, October 30^th, Fox premiered a new cartoon in the 8:30 prime-time slot between "the Simpsons" and "Family Guy." The style and execution of the animation is beautiful. That being said, that is not enough to give this show even one star.

I hope that the second episode is a cross-over with "Family Guy" and Stewie Griffin beats Allen Gregory to death with a baseball bat.

It is generally unfair to judge a series on the pilot episode, but the basis of the series has been set up. The series is set around Allen Gregory, an emo seven year old version of Charlie Brown in a gay Alex P. Keaton outfit. He has been home-schooled but is now being thrust into the public education system.

There are three points that are going to stick in the craw of those that do not like this show off the bat due to the feeling the popular media is trying to shove alternative ideals down our collective throats:

• Allen Gregory's parents are a homosexual couple. There is a scene of hubby petting his hubby while describing what he feels. Don't worry, he was petting his partner's stomach. It could have been worse. We learn during the pilot one of the husbands was (is?) straight and had a wife and kid(s). The other husband pursued him so persistently that he just gave up and accepted it as fate that he should be with the other man instead of his wife. This was the closest thing to humor in the episode. Was it social commentary on the feminization of men in our culture? Was it a reflection of white guilt portrayed as heterosexual guilt just as whites voted for Obama that straights try the same sex out of "equality guilt?"
• Allen Gregory falls in love with with his sixty-something female principal. Fine. In second grade I had a crush on my twenty-something teacher. I love the movie "Harold and Maude." When I was nineteen, if I met Maude, I probably would have fallen for her. This show portrays Allen's love fantasy as a visual sequence. Even though it is his fantasy, it is still a portrayed romantic and sexual fantasy between a seven year old and a sixty something year old, a pedophiliac episode depiction during prime time. They also did it to Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight." Try as you might, you cannot taint my memory of its use in "Miami Vice." There was no attempt at an allusion to true love but a thrust too gross the audience with overemphasizing varicose veins and the ravages of old age to the body.
• Remember "the Breakfast Club" and Molly Ringwald had a Sushi lunch? So does Allen. However, the seven year old Allen has wine as a beverage to have with lunch. Yes, the school punishes him, but the parents packed the wine in the first place.

So, if you are not entrenched in Amish prudishness, was this show still decent?

No.

There are several characters illustrated, the character development slims it down to fewer than what you see, and the dialog thins the cast down to two character types:

• A character that discusses the current topic of interest. No other character dialog is listened to. No other character feelings are concerned. Dialog is pushed forward in self interest.
• A character that discusses the current topic of interest. They understand what is going on. They wonder why they are being ignored.

Basically, writing dialog is extremely easy for this show. There are no conversations. Characters just bleat what they want.

Everything I complained about could be put together into a show and could be funny or it could be dramatically heartfelt and thought provoking. Unfortunately it was disjointedly awkwardly liberally pointlessly preachy and unfunny.

Yes, there is the general argument of parents should control what their kids watch, but I must stress that the promos I saw on FOX portrayed an overly intelligent kid entering public education. I did not see any of this grotesque humanity portrayed in the previews for this pre-bedtime TV show.

By now we all know "Family Guy" is NOT family friendly. When there is such a well defined change to adult programming, why would you put something more socially over the edge BEFORE it?

I wish I could recommend [ Adult Swim ] for this show, but everything about the show is boring or possesses an attempt as controversial while being meaninglessly offensive.
