Your Humor Guy
is money

That would be Mr. Freeze to you….:)

Will do. Not a sci-fi fan as such. I Read everything I can get my sticky little hands on. Excepting telephonebooks and so on.

So going BANG! everytime you see a picture of Bambi, would be bad taste too?

Since you are a fan of Sci Fi, you definitely need to check out “A Boy and His Dog” by Harlan Ellison. Great black humor.

The movie with a young Don Johnson is pretty good, too.

So going BANG! everytime you see a picture of Bambi, would be bad taste too?
Since the poor wittle waindweer was abandoned by it´s parents, I mean ?
Aww, come on…

never considered it an intentional slight, theres bigger fish to fry (oopz)

So, it’s in bad taste if eaten raw, but ok fried? LOL

It wasn’t taken as an intentional slight, ray. You were right, it probably wasn’t in the best taste.

It’s an odd perceptual issue. I only saw the movie once, at someone’s house while other things were going on, so I really didn’t key in to any “messages” it may have had. From what I saw of it, I wouldn’t have characterized it as “reunification of father and son”, but more about simply a father’s love.

I didn’t respond to your comment other than to note it because what you said did have a point and I didn’t feel any need or reason to “defend” doing it. I really intended it as simply a throwaway post to break up what had become a string of some pretty heavy issues with a note of irreverent levity.

I regard anything that comes out of Disney as a cartoon first and foremost. They are sort of “entertainment junk food” to me and I don’t see them as major morality plays. Other guys had already picked up on the irreverence by talking about having Bambi for dinner, and I remembered the old classic of Bambi meets Godzilla.

Challenging sacred cows is a good way to force people to reexamine their assumptions and biases. Real deer are not like Bambi, and Disney’s method of anthropomorphizing everything leads to a somewhat distorted perception of reality.
