    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    That seems to be a good explanation. Thanks for that. That's the biblical scholar rationalization rather than the "it's written there, do it or else." Still seems more like a suggestion than a sin outright. More like a "you really shouldn't drink soda before you go to bed because it rots...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    I LOVE posting this article whenever Kirk's brought up. Long story short, Kirk was an atheist that became a born again Christian while the show Growing Pains was on the air and completely acted like a dictator (or if you want, take off the word "tator") and forcibly took control of the show to...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    When it comes to Chick, someone SHOULD have said "Hey, Chick Fil A! If we want your opinion, we'll ASK for it." Kirk Cameron said what he said, because they made the mistake of asking his opinion. But the main point isn't so much Chick Fil A said something, they spend their profits...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    To me, the word "Family" in any organization's name is code for "freeze the world's progressive agenda and bring us back to a Stepfordized time that didn't really exist." At best. At worst it means " we put a manipulative name in there so we can do terrible things without anyone getting wise...

    Fads and Obsessions

    No. The fad of goofy, pop culture infused, parody fairy tales dried the heck up. Also, again, I hate "Hollywood is out of ideas." They have plenty of ideas... they just hide those and trudge out tried and true and similar things because that's what makes money. Producers REFUSE to make...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    I don't see why Henson comes off bad at all. There's no reason for them to. It's a corporate move, plain and simple and they don't want to be associated with someone who they disagree with. That happens ALL the time in business partnerships, I don't see anything that should make them look bad...

    Fads and Obsessions

    This is coming from someone who quite dislikes Pokemon... I dislike card games, I'm no fan of RPG style gaming (I'd rather do the attacking myself), and I find the anime to have too many tropes of superior anime we'll never get. I mean *&^% Great Britain! You get the live action Yatterman...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    Can someone explain to me why it's so blammed important to impose one out of thousands of Christian teachings like it's the most important thing? It isn't. Did God really speak of it? Because I seem to recall someone who wasn't God said it and mentioned it in the bible. What, is it the...

    The Muppet Christmas Carol coming to Blu-ray November 6

    I hate to go negative on this, but... Yeah. Why do you think they did MCC over the other 4 movies? It's not so much that it's a Muppet film, but it's a Christmas film first and foremost. They just want to get the Christmas movies out there so they can sell them during that period between...

    "Jump the Shark" Thread

    Yeah, but that's the problem with everything... Winnie the Pooh, Pokemon, Power Rangers, Elmo... Nick already did that with Rugrats. When a show is that popular, they always edge out everything else. I hated Power Rangers for years because Fox would continuously give the cold shoulder to...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    I'm going to say something that I hope doesn't erase everything else I've said here. I don't believe in boycotting companies because of their views. I don't consume all that much, so my tiny amount of money won't matter one way or another in the long run, you know how crap poor I am. But...

    "Jump the Shark" Thread

    Spongebob is the ONLY show Nick's got. They refuse to let anything else get the attention and episode count to even come close. They pretty much screwed Catscratch, that thing about the Luchadore, and I'm sure they're screwing TUFF Puppy as we speak. Sure, Penguins of Madagascar is doing...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    Oh, yeah... that's clearly the case. I'm pretty sure that picture was taken after that as well. But they found the most believable lie they possibly could because these toys Su-diddly-uck! They aren't even worth tracking down and buying on e-Bay. Especially since there's 40 something years...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I rewatched the old Ocean Zone episode again, and I really have to say, it was styill terrible. Very generic, any gang of kids could have been used in that story. There wasn't even the loosest understanding of characters (no one had a microcosm of a personality), and Ratburn's random...

    Shooting at showing of 'Dark Knight Rises'

    Trying for the insanity plea when it isn't the case does happen indeed. But this character clearly had some issues that would make him want to such a thing. I'd hate to see the "sane" person who wants to shoot up a theater. I don't think one even exists. When a supposed sane person kills...

    Arthur - What Did the Kids Grow Up to Be?

    They all become the President. Every single one of them. Every time. Such delusion of grandeur, those kids have.

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    Yes to all of that. I really hate this idea that God is the kid from that Twilight episode (that I'm sure none of us actually saw) that they parodied in that Simpsons episode (which we probably all saw), and we have to think happy thoughts out of complete fear so nothing bad happens to us...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    Which is what's WRONG with religion. There's no spirituality, there's no greater relationship with God or Christ... just the constant fear of a giant hand swatting you and sending you to "fiery place." I'm glad I was brought up with the Christian belief of treating others the way you want to...

    Henson issues statement about Chick-Fila-A

    I mean no disrespect about this, but you basically said you had an agenda pushed into you by someone else, but it's not right for anyone to push an opposing agenda into you. You can see where I find that confusing.

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    The larger poster with all the characters and Gary and Mary standing in front of them was fine. There's a lot of Photoshop fail in it, but it's so crowded and expansive that you don't notice. No, I really dislike the one that looked like the Toy Story 3 poster. Too many characters layered under...
