Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well, there is also the whole, "I can love him and his kids even though his kids are bi-racial" plot as well.
Okay fine, racism is also bad because sometimes two unbelievably privileged white people might break up and feel sad for a few weeks.

The thing is, however progressive South Pacific may have been for its time, it's still, to me, unwatchable in 2010. The racism is only a part of it - there's also the fact that the tragic love story between Joe and Liat begins with him raping her (with her mother's permission, of course).

Today is feh. And I don't know what to get for lunch. What I really want is a big bowl of mashed potatoes. And a nap.
