Wanted! A sense of humor for liberals

 Yesterday, it was announced that Pepe Le Pew has been cancelled. He will not appear in any future Warner brothers projects. This came a few days after New York Times writer Charles M. Blow wrote that Pepe Le Pew had "normalized the rape culture" in his cartoons. Where do I even start to discuss the stupidity of these statements and actions against a cartoon character skunk?

First, the easiest shot is the writer's name. Is Charles M. Blow's name a palindrome of sorts? Does Charles M. Blow work in reverse as Blow Me Charles?

So a cartoon skunk after 75 years has been outed as "normalizing the rape culture". If you believe this crap, you need to get out and get some fresh air and some unfiltered oxygen. 

Did Dick Tracy normalize police brutality?

Does Sergeant Snorkel cause drill instructors to abuse recruits like Beetle Bailey in boot camp? Did Beetle's buddy "Killer" promote the "rape culture".

Does Hagar the Horrible encourage people to join the Vikings in looting and pillaging? Is Hagar responsible for the looting in Minneapolis? Was he the inspiration for looting in New Orleans after Katrina? Was he the guy in the recent "storming" of the Capitol?

Did Little Orphan Annie cause mothers to abandon their children?

Does Wile E. Coyote cause us to all search for Acme dynamite to blow up speeding birds?

Did Zonker in Doonesbury inspire the name of this blog?

This whole thing is raging out of control. Let's all take a deep breath and examine the real issues. A columnist or politician making a claim is not the same as stating a fact. We are a nation rapidly losing our collective sense of humor.
