[News] Bert & Ernie

[el punal]

Wasn’t there a hoo hah years ago about Big Ears getting into bed with Noddy? I guess it’s OK for them to be in bed together again these days?

Right then, I’ll come up with the old joke :

“Why has Noddy got big ears?”

“Because nobody would pay the ransom.”

Ay theng yoo!

Liberal elites? It's very simple. Nowadays, it has morphed into a phrase for anyone who assumes anyone who disagrees with them is racist, homophobe, xenophobe or other alt-right pondlife. Clear now?

P.S Wtf is 'alt-right'? Alternative right? Alto right? Altruistic right? Or just a term of abuse?

Liberal elite .... alt-right? Oppose each other on everything from immigration to which way to hang a toilet role. Personally I think they all sound like twats and so should be left well alone.

I don't think normalising homosexuality is a bad thing

Exactly my point.
If a 3-4yo child see two male muppets live together and everyone on the street where they live accepts it as normal, doesn't judge, doesn't suggest anything is wrong... then they grow up completely comfortable that two male humans (or indeed two female humans) can live together and it's not wrong, wierd or something to be avoided.

Come On! Liberal Elite or Alt-Right. Everyone knows you hang toilet roll paper out... anything else is just wrong!

So I am watching a BBC news programme put out across the world which is discussing the sexuality of Bert & Ernie from Sesame Street! And people wonder why the folks with more than 40 years under their belt really struggle with the concerns of the 'millenials' (sp), lefties, and the liberal elite, and especially the media luvvies of whom most fill the afore mentioned groups.

Couldn't make it up........well maybe you can, human rights of spiders anyone?

I reckon you probably struggle to understand a lot of what you see.

Oh! My bad, I misinterpreted the post.

This is a classic example of fake news.

Everyone knows they are bisexual swingers.

By default, if one proposes one way, the other takes the opposite point of view. Regardless .... a bunch of twats.

Here's the C4 News report on it from last night as well.

Wish I'd seen it. B&E (and Morecombe & Wise sharing a bed) raises questions over whether there was a sub-text by the writers/producers. I am not a millenial or a leftie and definitely not a media luvvie. I may be considered Liberal Elite but I have a genuine intellectual interest in whether or not someone was trying to send a message or make a statement, especially given that Sesame Street had a strong subtext over gender and race equality and is broadcast across the world.

"Dear Points of View, Can we please have more programmes like the interesting debate, broadcast today, on the subtext of sexuality and inclusion in Sesame Street? Mostly because it p1sses off Daily Mail reading dinosaurs who continue to want to live in 1950s."

It's funny how there were no explicit statements either way (that I recall or others on Twitter yesterday) until Sesame Street became a private concern.
