Old School Wednesdays: Social Food Chain

Sorry for the late post. Strip dated November 13, 2000. Think things are still the same?

The Hobbit Video Blog

I've been nerding out to behind the scenes footage of The Hobbit. This video blog with Peter Jackson is pretty sweet and the technical aspects of this boggles my mind. I like when Peter Jackson starts talking about the 3D, 48 frames per second filming and says it's like someone cut a hole in the front of the theater and you're watching reality on the other side.

Meme Killing: Occupy Cop Edition

I bet the music in his head was righteous.

Diversity Training

This morning while I was in line at Dunkin' Donuts I heard a couple of guys behind me lamenting the diversity training they had to go through. Having never taken anything like that it made me curious what it must be like. Anyone out there go through it?

I can see how some of it could be cringe-worthy. And the thought of diversity training conjured the image of a superhero group. There's the Amazing Wheelchair Man, Ms. Latina, the Mysterious Ambiguously Ethnic Lady and The Black Guy.

As I started to think about what the diversity training Danger Room would look like, I watched the two men get their coffees from Chinese Lady and their food from a Middle Eastern Man and wondered if they even realized the awkwardness of that situation.

Suburban Asian Man

Raking, mowing, clearing gutters. It all comes with the package. But I just keep telling myself "These are MY dead leaves on MY lawn. MY clogged gutters." Sigh.

Old School Wednesdays: US vs. China

From December 6, 2006. This was one of those strips where people were confused why SAM said "we'd" be outnumbered 4 to 1 thinking he represented China and was not speaking as an American.

Affirmative Action Poll Results

Looks like it's pretty definitive that most of you guys don't think affirmative action works or at the least, it shows unfair favoritism. There's a very basic logic that using race as a basis for any sort of benefit can be construed as racist. I think most people acknowledge that. But it's like while most people agree killing is wrong, many can justify war. Now that I've equated supporters of affirmative action with people who like war, I'll just shut up and sit in the corner.

Old School Wednesdays - Secret Asian Man on Anime

This one is from waaaaay back in December 3, 2001.

Herman Cain Sexual Harassment Charges

Anyone think this is purely a left wing attack machine in action? Did an anti-Cain right winger leak the story to Politico? Is Cain trying to derail his own campaign himself realizing he might actually and up the GOP candidate?
