A Random Thought:

I've heard people defending comedy based on stereotypes by using "It's social commentary--it's striking at stereotypes by enforcing them!"

I don't get it, honestly. Maybe I'm just stupid or something, but isn't enforcing stereotypes supposed to be--y'know--not-nice? Aren't we supposed to avoid stereotyping? You know, you could exaggerate the stereotype, or play against it, and that would be amusing. But merely enforcing stereotypes and forcing people into those types... I don't get it. What's supposed to be so striking about it?

And if we're going to try and enforce old stereotypes, why can't we bring back those old Bugs Bunny cartoons where he would dress up in blackface makeup and fuck around with people? Because, y'know, that's enforcing stereotypes, and Bugs Bunny is funny, ain't he?

I dunno. Maybe I just don't have as good a sense of humor as I thought. Or maybe I'm just dumb.

At any rate, I'd like to see Bugs Bunny and the other Looney Tunes back on TV. I'm sick of watching what they've got on Cartoon Network now, and even Boomerang is starting to air not-yet-classic cartoons (Dexter's Lab--which, while it's a good show, isn't a classic yet--What's New Scooby Doo?, Pokemon, that kind of stuff). Bah! Bah, I say!

I really don't know where I'm going with this so yeah.
