Month: February 2005

I mentioned earlier how the U.S.’s new education secretary denounced PBS spending public money on a cartoon with lesbian characters. The producers of the show at WGBH, thanks to a great deal of public support, have decided that, despite PBS not distributing it, they’re going to release the show to any public TV station that wants it. OPB plans on broadcasting it.

I greatly respect OPB for airing this, however, they’ve decided to run the episodes on Sunday February 6 at 10:30pm and Tuesday, February 8 at 4:30am — two of the worst times imaginable for a kid’s show (the usual episodes of “Postcards From Buster” run weekdays at 3:30pm and Saturdays at 8am). I commend them for running the episodes, but it’s pointless if you’re not doing it at a time where a kid won’t even see it. Even with its brief exploration into lesbianism, it’s still a children’s show, folks.

Just a note: I saw this link last week, had it sent to me by a dozen folks, but really didn’t feel motivated to post it because I didn’t want to give Nazi’s any more publicity than necessery. If they want to clean up roads around Salem, that’s fine, just don’t expect me to publicize their good deed.

But since I’ve gotten that link a hundred times, there you go. The signs saying that the “American Nazi Party” is in charge of cleaning up that road have since disappeared, but not before someone put up a sign that says “only picks up white trash.” I also heard some folks saying they were going to dump all their garbage on that street if the Nazis were going to be in charge of cleaning it up.

Link from everybody, but I first saw it on Rob’s site.
