      We had better things to do than watch TV. We were all being beaten and molested by relatives.

        The internet that we invented was a good internet. It’s only later on it became a place for misinformation and adverts.

          We see corporations fuck up this world more and more every day and yet the powers that be just let it happen. I dunno man. This capitalist democracy thing just ain’t working. Maybe it’s time to try something else.

    I made the mistake of watching the new Tom and Jerry. Let’s just say, I’d advise you forget it even exists. There is no new Tom and Jerry.

    100% boomer humor. The jokes are so dated, they literally changed the housekeepers voice to sound less racist than the original version.

        That’s just slapstick humor, something all cartoons back then had.

          We know Tom and Jerry because it holds up and is funny now. Look at the other cartoons and see the quality difference. They are unfunny by today’s standards and probably not great when they were released.

      Yeah there was a lot of racism, at least in the beginning. e.g.

            They’re cannibal cats.

            Jerry got chased by a cannibal mouse at the end.

            That’s just it, I think the show creators saw those people as “sub-humans” or whatever. Truly disgusting.

      Because as we all know, you can identify racists by the sound of their voice.

        No, the voice was a racist depiction of a black housekeeper. Read up on it, or find the old versions.
