It's called anthropomorphism. People love to do it. Especially with their pets by assigning human emotions, intelligence, and behavior to them. It helps cure loneliness and is quite healthy in people. But save your life? I think it's just a dog man.
Wow, all of those blog's criticisms are about as shallow as it gets. You're just striking the same way everyone else does? What, did you expect them to put on a play or something? No witty slogans? Don't you think it'd be a bad idea if your protest slogan was funny?
I'm in support of these guys 100%. The companies don't want to pay them for internet use of the videos and they're right that it's going to be the future soon. I ditched cable years ago for Netflix, so their claims about the DVD makes sense too. How can you be angry at someone for wanting to ensure their financial future in the coming years?
And you can stuff the argument that they don't deserve any money. There is enough bad writing out there as it is, the only way to keep intelligent and clever programming out there is to pay the writer's well. Otherwise, they'd get better jobs.
Post above said it well. Writing is like playing music or painting, you get better with practice. A sitcom writer isn't nearly as good starting out as they would be thirty years down the road. The only way to give them that kind of development time is steady pay and proper incentives to keep writing. That way, they don't just give up and take a better paying gig.
Didn't someone already try to do this and get eaten by a bear? It's cool to think you're dominating a giant bear and all...but I don't think you're really fooling it.
As the Gandhi action figure would note, what good does hating them do? There are millions of them, they really love being arabic, and they really love their archaic never-had-a-renaissance religion. At this point the only solution I can think of is getting them used to being mocked like every other faith.
I'd go for variety. A perfectly cooked chunk of Greek chicken. A medium rare filet mignon. Pit cooked, Southern style BBQ. Biscuits, cornbread. Just one bite and moving on to the next dish until I finally fulfilled my ultimate goal and died of eating.
Y'know, a part of me wants to bitch about someone criticizing a cartoon like Exosquad that dealt with a lot of really adult issues like slavery, poverty, and socialism in a fantasy setting. Just because it is done so rarely these days.
On the other hand, I distinctly remember watching it as a kid and thinking, "Holy Crap this is violent" as a character unloaded a chaingun into a mech that had crashed into the ground. The pilot did not eject to safety.
*snicker*

We'll be lucky if we last the billions of years it takes to get to any of these stages.
More Prophet comics!
No it isn't, the point is to show how you'd react to death and attempt to compensate for that fear by eating something. What are you talking about?
