The cultural appropriation thing always sounds like a cry from George Wallace or Strom Thurmond. Cultural appropriation was essential to ending segregation on the radio back in the 50s and 60s. White artists who recognized they could empower the black rhythm and blues music did covers to bring that music onto white radio, and bring down that separation. Bobby Womack would've died in obscurity if the Stones hadn't broken through covering him. It's not fair, but it's true, and necessary.
No matter where you click to in that video, it's creepy and weird. I clicked to a random spot and I got a lady pouring scrabble tiles into a food processor. I think it's meant to represent alphabet soup, but who can really say?
Ugh, you're right. I clicked a random spot and saw a real live mouse about to get killed by a mouse trap (SPOILER: the mouse turns into a computer mouse at the instant the trap triggers).
It's political. The TSA want's more funding and to hire more employees, so they're strategically delaying passengers to their breaking points to create an uproar.
I flew out of Denver about two weeks ago. On each end of the airport they have 5 body scanners with two lines feeding each (10 total scanners and 20 lines). They had 3 of the 5 scanners and on each end (12 of the 20 total lines) dedicated to pre-check customers which no one was using. These lines were fully staffed with dozens of TSA agents standing around twiddling their thumbs. Meanwhile, they had only 8 of the available 20 lines open to the thousands of regular passengers trying to catch flights. I waited in line for over an hour and then grab a newspaper in the terminal that has an article on the front page saying the TSA is warning passengers to expect long lines this summer due to staff shortages and no funding for overtime. I read this immediately after I just saw probably 50 TSA agents standing around doing nothing.
So instead of simply dubbing a cutesy, Korean cartoon...they decided to frame this foreign show by getting the creator of Cow & Chicken to set up this bizarro Captain Planet idea featuring Flavor Flav as Father Time.

Well, I can't say I was expecting that today.

Aaaaand you know WHY I have no AC? Because it broke. FROM IT BEING TOO HOT OUT. That is the what-the-fuckiest part of all this.
