I post anything and everything. Don't expect to see any consistency in my posting habits. I have a bad habit of forgetting to tag stuff because I probably have ADHD or something. I've been on this website since Superwholock reigned supreme.
So for about 7 years now, the running gag has been that my wife is the piggy princess. WE DO NOT have time to cover the stupid jokes and cute conversations that led us here, but the jokes write themselves, honestly.
My VERY favorite thing I do for her is that I make Miss Piggy Themed parody shirts of cliché goth band shirts. I am very, very proud of these, btw.
It would have been more accurate to reality if the girl wasn’t white.
The girl was called Marta Cabrera and played by a Cuban-Spanish actress, so I don’t think she was as white as you remember.
People just see non-black POC and go “WHITE!” Don’t they
Wasn’t there a whole running Thing where all the rich people thought she was from a different country in Latin America. How do you watch that and think the character is white
i really think part of the reason alfred comes off as so intense is that he’s not used to the fact he doesn’t HAVE to yell anymore. i’ve imagined he’s always had to fight for a seat at the table; to be a nation, to be taken seriously, to not be disregarded as a child who doesn’t know any better.. now that he’s grown into his power and definitely not that kid anymore, i don’t think he’s realized he doesn’t have to fight just to be seen anymore. he comes in intense and at 100 because that was the only way he was ever heard and struggles to dial it back when he’s passionate.
Apparently the dude who runs the crematorium is just fundamentally confused about how advertising works. He actually thought that the way you made an ad was you found a picture that got people’s attention … and then also included information about your company. He was genuinely surprised and baffled when people thought there was any relationship between the (independently nonsensical) captioned image and his cremation business. There were two more ads in the series that are equally, just… so much…
Petition for all advertisements to be shitposts from now on
“I was just trying to get people to stop for a second and see the
picture, and then my company’s name. That was it,” Oliver King tells the
Riverfront Times. “The two are not supposed to be related, except
that’s my daughter and my company.”
For some inexplicable reason, not everyone understood that distinction.
“I got people calling and complaining, like, ‘Are you going to kill
her? Is she going to kill someone?’ ” says King. “I couldn’t believe
that went somewhere in their minds that they thought that was what I was
trying to say.”
on the one hand, i guess ads for cremation services must be a tricky thing to keep on theme without being too depressing/morbid/etc, so I can see how “just grab their attention with anything, doesn’t have to be related” would be an appealing advertising strategy.
on the other, i am fascinated by how someone who runs a crematorium “couldn’t believe” that people would associate their business with, uh, death.
“Doomed by the narrative” is sexy and all but i think the narrative wanting to save a character who is utterly set on dooming themselves isnt as much of a thing and it’s so good as a concept
