Dude, I slash everything from M&M commercials to Disney fiilms. Nothing is sacred.
However, I do think programming like Everybody Loves Raymond is safe, because although I'm sure everybody does love Ray, I really don't want to see everybody love Ray, y'know?

Steph L.: Jaws update: they're gonna need a bigger boat.
DXM: Jumped the shark, did they?
Hec, about Emmett, in Bitches:
We walked through TFAW and Emmett's eyes bugged out when he saw the talking Sauron action figure. He had a huge internal conflict at that point between his Rampant Love of Money and His Insidious Attraction To All Things Evil. Evil won, and he parted with the $20 he got from my Dad for his birthday. This lead to the weird sight of my son literally skipping through the breezeway with Sauron intoning "Build me an army worthy of Mordor!"
And also this brief conversation on the train home...
Emmett (holding up Sauron): Does this dude ever sleep?
Me: I don't think you're allowed to call the dark lord of all evil "dude."
Betsy, in Bitches -
Daughter, Friday night: "So, what did you do all day? Anything interesting?"
Me: "Uh... wrote some stuff, talked to some people, went to some meetings, nagged some people about reviews, uh.... and defused the nuclear bomb in the trunk of the car."
Daughter, disappointed: "Oh. You noticed."
Son, to daughter: "Ah! Your evil plan had a fatal flaw!"
Billytea, in Natter:
IIRC, the Adirondacks got their name from the name of the Algonquins, and was supposed to commemorate them. The hitch was, it wasn't their own name, but what the Iroquois, which had rather a low opinion of them, used. It means something like 'bark-eaters', and referred to their supposed inability to hit any faster-moving prey even if it was tied down and sedated.
ita, in Natter (boy, has it been a great day, or what?)
Today's partner (in Muay Thai) punched himself in the jaw when he did anything wrong. Which sort of leaves me with nothing to do.
Alibelle in Angel:
This post has been brought to you by the people who like to agree. And me too.
Kat in Angel:
"I wonder if she had breast implants while she was on a higher plane?"
From Natter:
Alibelle: Do I know what that sentence that I just typed means? No, no I don't. But I think I've finally triggered the paper-writing gland in my brain which spits out long winded sentences that mean little to nothing.
Trudy: It's a delicate balance of sleep deprivation and caffine.
billytea, on anti-alcohold ads in Oz:
We also had ads with the slogan "If you drink then drive, you're a bloody idiot", which is, admittedly, not entirely inaccurate. After a while, and the slogan became part of the national consciousness, they shortened it on some billboards to read "Drink. Drive. Bloody idiot." A couple of radio wags noted that this ran the risk of being taken as a command, directed at the segment of the population no doubt least able to resist it. And, of course, if the trend continued eventually we'd be left with billboards reading simply "Idiot."
