Yeah, but check out the droopie eyes.

Now, again, think of Cheech.

Surfers may say dude a lot. But they are not spaced-out and do not display droopie, drug-addled eyes.

wow...

ok, it's obvious that you're so completely convinced of this... and it seems as if you're the only one who really sees it.

just... wow...

Welcome to the Nedaverse.

The trick is to realise: there is no logic.

Q Cubed, maybe I've been around this drug culture too long. But I hardly think the Cheech-like, surfer-dude, turtle was intended only to be a surfer dude. There would have been no need to have his eyes half close and his brain addled.

[KrazyHorse]

maybe I've been around this drug culture too long

That certainly would explain a few things.

[Ned]

Krazyhorse -- believe me, hah hah, I didn't inhale!

[Q Classic]

I'll just agree to disagree about the whole turtle thing.

Now, about the other allegations:
Where is the leftist propaganda?
Where is the anti-americanism?
How is Disney anti-american?

[Ned]

Q Cubed, take out the Spirit movie from the equation, we get down to one thing: the anti-American jibe.

[Q Classic]

which was a one-line throwaway joke, and honestly, it seems as if calling the movie anti-american based on just that is making an everest out of a paramecium.

You kow, Ned, people in high school used to say I was big dope fiend. They based this on my always being tired, and having dialated pupils. I didn't try pot until two years after I left high school.

I know straight edge surfers. (Yes, people in Florida surf) Yeah, I imagine a lot of surfers smoke dope. Given the size of the waves I see some people surf, I know there's know way they smoke dope. No one at say, Mavericks could smoke dope and live. They'd be killed by the monster waves. There's a reef off of San Deigo where they recorded a 66 foot wave. You wanna tell me that a pot-head could surf a wave like that and not get killed?

Ned, can you laugh at yourself? Can you make a joke about Ned? Can you make a joke about L.A.? California? The USA? Does it mean anything besides being a joke?

What offended me most about these films is that I did not expect to be assualted with leftist propaganda, racism and glorification of drugs at a kids movie.

Why not? You're obviously smoking something really strong.

Glorification of drugs? It's a ****ing surfer! Are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles glorifying drugs?

Che, to you, an extreme lefty, having a fish crack an anti-American joke was probably offensive only because it was insufficiently harsh.

Jokes always attack something. SO WHAT?! The point is to be funny. Or are you of the opinion that America is perfect in all things, and therefore it must be impossible to make jokes about it?

Ned has lost his ever-loving mind.
