from the 'why kids today are so f*cked up' files...

i was duped* into watching one of those new rudolph cartoons earlier today, and what happened? rudolph asked for a nose job. a nose job!!! in the original cartoon it was some innocent little 10 watt bulb blinking in his nose, that they colored over with black crayon - now they had to graduate from crafty little fixes to full-out surgery to fix his stinking nose. and people wonder why preteen girls ask for plastic surgery for their birthdays? if a lovable holiday cartoon character can have it, why can't they?!

ugh, this sort of thing vexes me to no end.


*duped by the television guide. this is the third time this has happened to me this week - flipping on a station because i was excited to see rudolph... written in the little box, thinking it was the original (which yes, we have on tape sitting there on our bookshelf, but everything is more exciting when you watch it live) and yet it is some longer titled recently-made knockoff. these second rate, plastic surgery-filled sequels would never receive any ratings if the stupid guide just showed the full title in the menu.

And coming Christmas 2009: Rudolph has breast augmentation!

oh my goodness - i hope not!!

he wouldn't be very aerodynamic with huge boobs - santa would probably be pissed if they slowed the sleigh down.

But for health and safety purposes they'd make marvelous airbags.

although i'm pretty sure i won't ever look at a reindeer the same way again.
