I think Zeon posted it because he thought it was funny and interesting. We all make mistakes. It's an adolescent joke, like something doodled on the back of a teenager's notebook, or scrawled across a bathroom wall. I did like the aesthetic of the stacked cows. The rest was just piffle, including the joke.
Can't really blame him. I'm sure he had aspirations at one point in his life. Funny where the radio woman asked "what if your daughter named her pet after you?" as if that suddenly made it relevant and controversial.
At the time, there were: - no Internet as we know it - no cell phones - severely limited hardware and software capabilities - no foreseeable need of a portable computer - no texting (ah... the good old days)
It's funny to see the old Star Trek characters from Next Gen to Voyager walk around and hand each other their computer pads ("Here's my report, Captain"). No concept of e-mail, wi-fi, or "cloud storage".
Maybe Tice needs to think about how his filming activities are received. Yes, it's a public place, but it doesn't mean it's polite to film total strangers. Plus, people who fish are especially touchy about anything that might "disturb the fish".
All they did here was make these women smaller-chested and fatter everywhere else. Admittedly, the tiny waistline is not realistic, but I would expect a "realistic" videogame woman to be way more muscular. After all, videogame characters are getting a LOT of exercise.
As for the bikini girl, she is totally realistic. There are plenty of women who sport that figure, and they're all over the beaches. Just as there are guys with perfect bodies all over the beaches, too. But they don't complain about that.
The male heroes in videogames generally fit into stereotypes as well. We don't hear about it, because it doesn't make anyone any money to complain about it. Whereas, whining about the "idealized" portrayal of women is a great moneymaker.
And I thought it was just a lookalike. It didn't seem to be heavyset enough to actually be him. I caught about 20 minutes of Sharknado 3 - 20 minutes that I will never get back.
Not much shaming going on. Seems that most of the people didn't notice them, or just ignored them. Plus the girl's attempt at ridicule was also kind of pointless - "There's some stupid people over there..." Yes, we know that already.
Should have put more thought into the musical selection to drive the point home.
Suggestions: It's a Small World After All Ebony and Ivory Respect I Will Survive Maybe a little reggae: Get up, Stand up So many possibilities...
Parents behaving poorly is not a new thing. I remember working in a restaurant many years ago. People with children often just didn't care. It seems that coming to a restaurant turns a switch off in their brains - suddenly, they're not at home, and the kids can run wild, throw tantrums, and create disgusting messes for the staff to clean up after they've left. I think parents may just be used to tuning it out or maybe they're really inconsiderate. Sometimes, they have no control, but that's where they have to learn how to control it. It doesn't matter why a child goes into screaming fits. It's a parent's responsibility to control it or stay at home. In this case, the owner should have acted with more decorum, and politely told the family to tend to the child or leave. I can't really blame her for her response, but no yelling. These parents were clueless as to how annoying their kid was, and will probably continue to inflict their dear child's tantrums with no remorse on other undeserving restaurant patrons.
