And where has this method gotten us?

They don't look at it when you show them.

You have to make them look themselves.

You show him: He doesn't look. Effort: Wasted.

He looks himself: It plants a seed in his psyche, creating lasting effects.

Yeah, I saw some surviving episodes of Definition and The Mad Dash on YouTube.

Both were a lot of fun. I wish we had them down here. Got to love Jim Perry, too, since I loved him on Card Sharks and Sale Of The Century, the latter being the second-greatest quiz show of all time.

Australian media does exactly ONE thing right:

Game show winnings are not taxable. You win ten thousand dollars, you get ten thousand dollars.

We need that here, among other tax obliterations.

It's not just black people, either--ever heard Liam Neeson in Ponyo?

Neeson is a wonderful actor, but MAN did he phone it in for that movie. He sounded borderline BORED.

This is why you get people who actually give a shit about voiceover, and who can act with JUST their voices, not people who only know how to act in front of a camera.

It's a very different set of skills. I know--I used to do it myself.

Oh God, Scott Freeman. What a disappointment to learn about that guy.

Most ironic name ever, at least.

Also, just to nitpick, he was convicted of possession of CP, not actually...yeah.

Rightly convicted, imprisoned, and blackballed, at least. Should've been worse.

One of my favorite dub actors, Bill Butts, is black.

But he can hide the accent. Piper can't--not yet, at least.

Yeah. That was so disappointing to learn. He's one of the best there is...and he fell victim to the woke mind virus.

I recently saw an anime called Astra Lost in Space.

In the dub, the character Ulgar is voiced by a relative newcomer named Christopher Dontrell Piper, and if you couldn't tell from his middle name that he's black, you could sure tell in his performance, as his blaccent (what a weird word) kept bleeding through into his performance. They really didn't have any other takes to use? His acting itself was fine...

Then again, that show's dub was pretty cursed to begin with. The character Luca is revealed halfway through to have been born intersex, and he's voiced by trans actor Ciaran Strange.

And the main character is voiced by the once-great Josh Grelle...just before he announced his transition and changed his name to Jessie James Grelle.

Reminds me of that time someone complained that Rami Malek was playing some ancient Egyptian.

Just one problem.

Rami Malek IS EGYPTIAN.

Is this about that fridge door? This sounds familiar.

Pozzing. As in infected with HIV. HIV-positive. Pozzed.

I saw a parody video about this once. It was only a few seconds long, spoofing YongYea:

"Microsoft bought Activision, there's the tweet, that's the news."

It's one thing to go "Yes, we know how the actual story/history went, but we did the plot of our game this way because it's more fun," which is what Dynasty/Samurai Warriors did for years.

That method is okay.

Pretending this IS the actual story/history is NOT.

Kirsche, huh? Thanks for the recommendation.

Pipkin Pippa and Mori Calliope I'm fairly sure are on our side, but your point still stands.

I looked all over her Twitter, searching for "vaccine" and "COVID." I couldn't find anything about her saying she got it.

In fact, in looking for it, I found the 2010 anti-vax tweet linked above.

But I see your point. Just five months after diagnosis? That sounds like turbo-cancer.

I was stunned to learn how young she was.

The Pokemon anime first aired here in 1998, days before the launch of the Game Boy games that started the nationwide craze. I was there for it--you have no idea just how massive it got unless you lived through it.

That means she was only 20 when the series first aired--and depending on when the dub was recorded, she may have been a teenager when she first performed her most famous roles.

(Correction: Nope, she was 29 when the show premiered.)

Strangely enough, I don't think Lillis got the jab.

I found a tweet from 2010 showing her skeptical of any jabs.

Regardless, she was only 46 years old. A tragedy.

(Correction, she was 55, not 46. Still far too young.)
