Supposedly "great" movies that kind of sucked

[Kev]

I dunno man, were Bilbo and Frodo fags too? I'm sure JRR had all kinds of hidden meanings besides the Hitler = Sauron one. And let's not forget Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street.

OK, well if the cartoon writers are going to a lot of trouble to write stuff that the average joe doesn't pick up on, and the executivies are paying them to do so, and that they are probably going to deny anyway if anyone calls them on a specific case, then who's the fool?

You know I could do all kinds of creative stuff, put my own hidden meanings into it, and make things so obscure that no-one would ever pick up on it unless I explained it to them, and even then they would probably think I was full of shit, but that don't make me clever.

The whole point of the joke though is that it isn't obscure, it's hidden in plain sight.

Have you ever watched an episode of He-Man? This is a guy when not He-Man is a Prince called Adam who wears pink spandex and wears his hair in a bob. When he turns into He-Man his clothes fall off and he's left wearing some kind of bondage harness. His best friends are Fisto and Ram Man it's uncontrollaby gay.

And you can't tell me that his harness isn't emblazoned with some kind of sphincter logo.

ok man, obscure in plain sight it is then. Very often the stuff people miss is right under their nose.

No I never watched heman, but the example you gave is pretty obvious though. I guess they are counting on six year olds (or is that common people and morons) not picking up on the gay fisting thing.

So who is it exactly that they are trying to entertain with this stuff then? Themselves? Unlesss you are telling me that you are fan of heman for this kind of profundity?

Yep it's themselves. My guess is that these are all ambitious screen writers who dreamed of writing hollywood films and ended up making kids cartoons. It's just their way of coping.

Like the engineers who dreamed of designing planes and working for Ferrari and ended up working for Russell Hobbs making toasters. So they come up with settings that will not only burn your toast but your entire house down if you stick it on max
