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.

Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
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 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.
Fuck the cartoons and the pudding pops and the Huxtables.
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.
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]
When I was in 7th grade or so (late 80's) my friend's parent's worked in a pudding pop factory! There were so many weird flavors they brought home to try! I think it is weird that there was a pudding pop factory in western NY, but there used to be a lot of factories here.

Do you know if the facility was in Dunkirk? If so, I know the family that owned it back then!
it wasn't- it was near Avon, NY. So that means there were at least two of them!
