I wonder what the rationale was for the teats.
My guess is that the male alternative, when walking around on two legs, was pretty darn obscene.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From looking at the picture, it occurs to me that the bulls should have schlongs right there. Maybe they decided it was better for rubberised boobies to be exposed than alternative gender-related organs.
it's because male cows with teats are, and I quote, "fucking funny".
But aren't there bulls in the movie? That's just weird.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
demanding to know if there was a Transsexual Agenda Being Promoted Here.
Heh. That thought had crossed my mind too, in moments when I decided to charitably assume the filmmakers were being subversive instead of dense.

so what is Pluto?
Maybe not a planet anymore, according to the Science Channel show I watched last night.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I wonder if enough moviegoers will find male cows with teats "fucking funny" to make this movie its money back.
Alas, probably.

I don't think it's possible to feel worse based on an NY Times article.
The sinus headache!migraine part was interesting but didn't make me feel worse. The depressing part is the vascular involvement. Before I was in blinding pain. Now (well, not now now, but more generally now), I'm in blinding pain and can expect to die earlier of a heart attack or stroke, which is a little depressing when I think about it. Of course, with the blinding pain it can be a bit hard to think, so maybe that's not a big deal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I lost at least two grandparents to strokes. My parents and sisters have all been medicated at one time or another for high blood pressure.
Mine's distractingly low. I choose to view this as a positive thing.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
While I'm of course disturbed by male cows, I'm also dismayed at the tendency of Hollywood animation to characterize worker bees and ants as male. That just ain't right.

I'm just boggled at the idea of a Disney exec promoting one of their movies with the praise "fucking funny."
