Completely fucked over The Weeknd because he chose performing at the SuperBowl over them  
Nominated Justin Bieber even though his latest album is bad  
The Strokes only got one nom, ok Grammys(who’s willing to bet they will shut out Rock this year as well?)  
Mac Miller’s circles didn’t get nominated despite its critical acclaim

Persian Sandy be thicc:
 

 
Yes, this IS real BTW.

@CaptainXtra  
No it can’t be real i refuse to believe it

@northern haste
 
It very much is.
 
It’s actually meant to be a big, female form hiding purple dress because their precious little fee-fees are hurt by seeing a bikini.

@Zincy  
Sadly, some Americans are getting too prude-ish about similar things too…  
Heck, people flipped their schmitz, because a new female Star Wars character has a chest bump in her spacesuit, and claiming it’s sexist for a female character to look female.

@Zincy  
Now im reminded of the UAE and their piss-poor censorship of MLP  
 
 
 

@icey wicey 1517  
Admittedly, the tights are kinda cool.

@northern haste  
I’ve got more to share:
 

 
The video this is from.

I’ve been watching various film versions of Macbeth for my Shakespeare class, including the 1971 film, the 2010 TV version with Patrick Stewart, and Akira Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood, an adaptation set in the samurai era.

The movie everyone was asking for  

@northern haste  
Just bury my post, why don’t you
 
Clifford looks… wrong, somehow. Even in terms of the schlock I knew it was going to be, he looks off. How do you make a dog not look cute, FFS?

@northern haste  
Cleo or I riot.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Your post wasn’t even there when I was typing

I think part of the issue is that he’s not big enough. Clifford is supposed to be kaiju-sized, bigger than a house, or at least that’s what he was in the show. In the trailer, however, he just looks mildly large.

Whenever I hear “Cleo” I think of the catgirl with 1980s leg-warmers from “Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats.”
 
Apparently, she had her own toy back then by Bandai.
 

@northern haste  
How much you wanna bet this movie will contain at least one bathroom joke? It seems like every live-action movie adaptation of a nostalgic property has toilet humor in it, and given all the jokes I’ve seen over the years about what happens when Clifford needs to go to the bathroom, there’s no way the filmmakers won’t pass on that opportunity.

@Beau Skunky  
Well. Something else I need.  
@northern haste  
For some reason I pictured Emily being black. Unless that’s not Emily.

@Background Pony #A500  
I’m pretty sure that would happen even if it was animated

I’m reminded that MAD on Cartoon Network did a Clifford and Cloverfield parody called Cliffordfield.

@northern haste  
He did have an animated movie,but I never watched it.  

@Background Pony #A500  
I think some do that to try to guarantee a PG rating, or to entertain older audiences. Though, let’s not deny kids like potty humor too.
 
Though, I wouldn’t get to upset, as I don’t care if they keep it to a minimum, like say the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, as opposed to say the “Cat in the Hat” movie.

@Beau Skunky  
Also adult humour can get More childish than child humour.  
I recall you even making a claim that I adult swim feels more like teen swim

@northern haste  
No argument here. Adult cartoons always feel far more childish to me than children’s cartoons.
 
I don’t understand why live action adult series are always allowed to be whatever tone they want, but with cartoons, it always has to be raunchy or gross comedies with little to no substance.

@northern haste  
TBH Clifford doesn;t look as bas as i thought he would.
