Nov. 10th, 2001 09:56 amStalin-ette says we shouldn't use my sister's cartoon in the newspaper because it is "in bad taste." Sis draws anime, so it features a Dragonball-Z like figure with a rapier preparing to slice a pillow in half. The cartoon reads, "Rule #47: Inanimate objects don't have feelings." Now, she finds the weapon offensive and thinks that the entire school is going to call us wanting to complain. I now believe this is NOT the case...
Last night I went to see our school's production of "Twelve Angry Men." It has two scenes, count 'em..TWO, in which one of the jurors comes *this* close to stabbing another with a REAL SWITCHBLADE KNIFE. I'm saying that the knife point is TOUCHING the other juror's heart. At the end, nearly half the audience gave them a standing ovation while the others cheered loudly and wildly. Now, do you honestly think that after that, they are going to be offended by a cartoon character slicing up a pillow?
