[The Charnel Expanse]

So says French sociologist Antoine Bueno.

No it's Communist propaganda.

 

[Sledge]

It's clearly gay propaganda.

 

[Woolgatherer]

Clearly it's reverse polygamy or RFLDS reeducation.

No it's Communist propaganda.

Since they're "the embodiment of a totalitarian utopia, steeped in Stalinism and Nazism," apparently it's both.

*Shrug* It's not like 'toons haven't been used as sounding boards for authors politics before. Anyone here read Ariel Dorfman's Disney analysis before?

The SOB has a lot to answer for for unleashing that horror upon the world,,but politics has nothing to with it....

And let's not forget the famous study by renowned smurfologist Eric Cartman.

The Smurfs as modified for saturday morning cartoons were an saccarinne abomination of smarmy cuteness only to be exceeded on TV by the vile demon known as Michele (Played by the twin Antichrist known as the Olson twins.) on that piece of mega drek called Full House.

The only Smurfs I would ever watch on TV now would be an episode during which Gargamel is slowly masticating the Smurfs. The Smurfs would of course have to be alive while he does it.

Things like this makes me wish I could find the paper I once saw tacked up to the wall of the archaeology lab in college. It gave ten reasons why Scooby-Doo was a Marxist plot to indoctrinate our children.

Damn - our plan for world domination scuppered again!

You guys have become quite arrogant since that little riot after a night at the opera got out of hand. But before thinking of world domination, maybe you should first get a government for yourselves?

IMO these sorts of analysis tell you more about the person doing the analysing that it does about the subject they claim to be able to analyse.
