I can't wait to see NBC's version of Hey Dad!
I know that would be hilarious if I had any idea what the show was like.
I'm watching Elisir with subtitles and laughing at how many ways I was wrong about the plot, watching from backstage.
Dawn: You're not fleeing. You're... moving at a brisk pace. Buffy: Quaintly referred to in some cultures as the Big Scaredy Run Away.
'Touched'
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
The Jackson 5 and Slavery: 2 great tastes that taste great together in one fabulous, luxurious themepark! Visitors will be able to see the route their ancestors walked, shackled together as they were whipped toward the "point of no-return".They can then retire to their five-star hotel to drink cocktails by the pool.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That's ... crazy. And seems horribly disrespectful.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We do have some local shows here, y'know.
Neighbors!

I've stared and stared at it, and I think that the only way I can understand it is that the Jacksons/whichever Jackson is behind this bright idea is so wholly self-centred that they really are seeing slavery wholly through the lens of themselves: ie, hey, look, we're a success story! But our ancestors were slaves, which was bad, and we should be sad about that for a few minutes. But look, there's a happy ending! We're rich!
Rather than taking on board that, you know, there was no happy ending for ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WERE MADE SLAVES.
boggles
I mean, afaic it's pretty much like building a Disney resort next to Auschwitz. With profound and melancholy theme rides like 'It's a Cruel World After All' demonstrating that this is a sensitive and educational luxury theme park. Because, really - Jackson 5 Memorabilia and merry 70s pop tunes juxtaposed with relics of slavery? In a slave port? Just...head go boom.

From the article, it seems like it's only Marlon Jackson involved in this. Your explanation seems as good as anything else I can come up with.

That's kind of how I feel about the torture museums at Medieval Times.

Don't know Medieval Times, but I'm right with you in theory - we have the same things in London and York, and it does blow my mind. Torture/=HappyFunTimes, people! Also? IT STILL HAPPENS. And yet it's a fun-filled day out for all the family.
People are INSANE.
