Apparently Jolson was well know for his songs about "mammy," and also performed in blackface. Another interesting fact - the song, "Any Bonds Today" was written by none other than Irving Berlin if my memory serves correctly.

      As for the one about shooting the Japanese ("Bugs Nips the Nips"), it's your basic Bugs cartoon with Japanese soldiers taking the part of the antagonists. There's some pretty outrageous stereotyping going on; the Japanese soldiers all babble continuously in some unintelligible pidgin and all have buckteeth. At one point Bugs even calls them some fairly offensive names, though never uses the most ugly one-word slurs.

      There's Tom and Jerry Kids, Flinstones Kids, A Pup named Scooby, Tiny Toons and so on.

      I've a (much younger) sibling who watches all of these, and generally I couldn't agree more. But I must defend Tiny Toons. It had its ups and downs, but at its best it was a well-written, well-acted, risk-taking show. This isn't nostalgia speaking; I try to catch an episode now and again, and while the "downs" are more painful than I remember, the "ups" are as good as ever.

      Tiny Toons does capitalize on the old Warner icons, but it does so mainly for brand-recognition -- this was essentially Warner's entry into the television cartoon market. There are a few purely derivative characters that bring nothing new to the table, but overall Tiny Toons was its own show and made no pretense of being otherwise. People who insist on drawing that comparison are always disappointed. It's a spinoff, not a ripoff.

      The one true similarity between the two is their orchestral soundtrack. In fact, Carl Stalling's original studio was renovated just to house this show's 30-piece orchestra -- which would go on to provide music for Warner's other animated TV series. The composer, the late Richard Stone, remarked in 1999, "it's been unbelievable that we've been able to work with a full orchestra every week for the past nine years, which is unheard of for television in general, let alone animation." (paraphrased slightly)

      For those who keep count, Tiny Toon Adventures also won the Emmy for "Best Animated Series" twice out of three nominations.

    A quick paragraph, to teaze everyone, *snarf:



    "Hey," Wilycat said, "It's our old starship. Why are you bringing us here?"

    "Because," Wilykit said testily, landing her board on the large rock to the left of the main airlock. She jumped off and walked over to the door. "Come on."

    Wilycat shook his head and said "I don't like this."

    "You'll like it," Wilykit replied, turning on her electric torch. "Trust me." She led him through the corridors to the crew cabins, shoving aside one of the unpowered doors.

    "Hey," Wilycat said, "Why are we in Liono's room?"

    "Because he had the biggest bed, silly."

    "I still don't know what you're planning."

    "Come here," Wilykit said. "What?" "And take off your clothes."

    "WHAT?" Wilycat complained. "Oh come on, Wilycat! We never wore clothes until Jagua made us those armored uniforms. Take them off."

    "But that was years ago!" Wilycat exclaimed.

    "That's the point," Wilykit said. "I want to see something." "Okay, but only if you take off yours too."

    "That's a deal," Wilykit replied, eagerly stripping off her uniform and tossing it too the floor. Wilycat was a little slower in removing his own.

    Naked, he looked a little skinny, but then he was only fifteen, and he was on the same exercise regimen all the Thundercats were. They never knew when an enemy might strike out at them.

    Wilykit, on the other hand, was actually growing quite nicely, her small breasts budding out only slightly. She smiled at her brother and said "Come here and sit down."

    Wilycat walked nervously over to his sister. He sat down on the old and dusty bed, and when he did she grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him down. "Hey!" he shouted again. Wilykit threw her leg over his supine form, straddling him.

    "Now I gotcha!" she said. "Mummra?" Wilycat's eyes were wild with fear. She had even convinced him to leave his powerpills over there on the floor!

    "No, not Mummra, silly," Wilykit said. "Just me. I wanna try something." "Wha...What?" he stammered.

    "I saw Cheetara doing this to Tigra, and I wondered why." She slid down his body slowly, reaching his crotch. His cock was shrivled and retracted into it's prepuce with fear. She nibbled at it gently with her lips, sliding along the length she felt within his Thunderan sheath.

    "Wilykit..." Wilycat breathed deeply. "What are you doing?" "Does it hurt?" She asked, looking up along the length of his body.

    "Well, no," he admitted. "Then let's keep trying."

  115. What about the world itself? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    When I was a little kid, I believed that the worst
    crime imaginable was a bank robbery, nearly all adults were either caring,
    understanding people who acted proper, or at worst
    was grumpy, money was no concern, and there was no
    such thing as war, holocausts, etc. As I got older, I
    discovered that murders, assaults, unimaginable torture,
    among other things are a *daily* occourance in this
    world, and in the USA. Too many adults act like
    immature brats, go out and beat people up for
    whatever reason as well as neglect their kids or beat them,
    sometimes to the point of death. Companies, the government,
    and even society itself rip people off big time of
    their money, causing unnessecary drama for everyone
    else, often to the point families break up. This
    world almost always has a war going on som,where where innocent
    people are killed, tortured, maimed, seperated, among
    other things. Gangs roam the streets, we've had many
    school shootings in the USA and in other countries,
    kids are running away to places like Hollywood where
    they become drugged up zombies, and get raped and killed
    and do the same to others, we have gov't institutions
    that take kids away from their parents unjustly and
    fuck their lives up big time....

    I'm now getting angry, so I'll stop right here.
