Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hi, Frank!
The whole awful thing with Bill Cosby, I couldn't believe it at first. Mostly I'm able to separate the creator from the work, but Cosby kinda is his work, and I can't watch it anymore.

I find the nature of the work has a lot to do with it. Like, knowing what we know now about Roman Polanski doesn't exactly interfere with the impact of a horror movie about a woman who gets raped by the Devil, y'know?

Hi Nora and Zen! Been a weird time and I should write it up for the apocalypse thread. Long story sort of, got called on the carpet at work for cyberloafing (guilty as charged) but also have had some health issues. Managed to fix things at work, but I just can't keep up here like I used. Also, and I hate to say this because it's a major downer, ita passing really put a damper on my board enthusiasm.

I know. It's almost impossible to not think of the Noah bit he did and I now feel guilty every time I do.

Man, fuck Bill Cosby and his hypocritical self-righteous preaching. Fuck the cartoons and the pudding pops and the Huxtables.
This is not a new thought, I'm just reminded of it. Not only does it tarnish memories of him, but anyone who defends him is pretty complicit at this point. And I'm angry at him for taking away things I loved.

This. SO much this. Records I used to borrow from library as a kid, tainted forever.

I'm with you, but this seriously made me LOL.

Does Jell-O even still make pudding pops any more? That product was so strongly associated with Cosby I can't imagine anyone looking at them in the store without all sorts of unpleasant connotations coming to mind.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I haven't seen them in the store in years.
According the internet, Jello licensed the name to the Popsicle company in 2004, who put out an inferior version until sometime around 2011 when they stopped producing them. [link]
