Mr. Rogers was Evil? That crazy FOX News

FOX News attacks Mr. Rogers?

Mr. Rogers is under attack from FOX News and this is bullshit.

Wow, just wow. Yeah, I'll admit that I used to watch Mr. Rogers when I was young. But, now he's getting blamed for the way kids of yesterday are turning up today. How do these FOX News people even keep a straight face when they make a lame connection between his 'You're special just the way you are' and entitlement. Just watch the video.

This is beyond stupid. I can't believe FOX would even attack Mr. Rogers…a dead man.

1. Mr. Rogers taught an entire generation to be nice to each other. What is wrong with that?

2. His “you're special just the way you are” gave kids empowerment. It meant that each of us is different and unique and we shouldn't change the way we are. Be yourself. Now where does entitlement come into play?

3. He taught us to change our shoes when we got inside the house.

4. Those puppets are real.

5. That it is a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

F’ you FOX News! You can go after Clinton all you want, but attacking my homeboy Mr. Rogers, thems fightin words.

Bush: “You look different in person.”

Mr. Rogers: “How so, Mr. President?”

Bush: “You look more like a big fluffy yellow bird on TV.”

Mr. Rogers: “That was a completely different show, sir.”

Bush: “You're not Big Bird?”

Mr. Rogers: “Never mind, sir..."

I want to see that report they are talking about... to see if it really blames it all on Mr. Rogers or if the personalities discussing it there are taking a snippit and blowing it out of proportion.

Of course, the fact that a) Mr. Rogers was one of the people who helped PBS get federal funding in the 1960-70's and b) that despite being a minister, he was all about tolerance for all faiths and sexual preferences.

He is one person I genuinely can't say a single bad thing about. He was a wonderful human being all around.

what is up with people attacking individuality?! i don't have time to see the report right now, but i'll check it out soon. it's seems anymore either far left or far right people hate individuality or those who preach individuality. if fox wants to attack people, there are plenty of good for nothing people that are living, not someone who lived his life with a good heart for everyone who is now deceased. maybe they are going through paris hilton withdrawal!

MC: I need to find that report as well. I have to wonder if they're joking about it or not. But FOX News has done this sort of thing in the past.

I have to agree, I can't say a bad thing about the guy. He'd done so much for furthering education in schools and for PBS than anyone else. We need more programing like this for kids and less purple creatures dancing to songs.

That is a great Link, I'll have to post it on the main page. I loved the stolen car thing.



Paul: Agreed, I've been seeing more and more of these type of attacks on this idea of Individuality more and more from the media.

If you get a chance, Paul, check out the link MC posted. The story about the car thieves actually was very touching.

And his support of PBS and the VCR has pretty helped with creation of the devices and multi-media we have today.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...

RIP, Chuck "f'ing" Norris

Image
  It feels kind of strange that Chuck Norris is gone.  Somehow, this movie has Shatner, Hasselhoff, Bateman, and Chuck Norris. I grew up watching Chuck Norris movies.   I wasn’t into the early kung fu stuff, but more of the shitty action movies.  The Missing in Action series comes to mind.  My favorite from that era was Invasion USA.  Norris single-handedly led an entire foreign invasion.   Norris and I would never see eye to eye politically, but he was part of pop culture's history.  The man was into everything.  Plus, we got the “long in the tooth” Chuck Norris jokes.  I still can’t believe people are still doing them.   In his later years, he was in everything.  He did that Wow of Warcraft commercial and had extended cameos in Dodgeball and The Expendables 2.  He was also in those infomercials that were on constantly at 2-4 AM.  You know the ones.   I can’t list everything here, but he had...
