The Chipmunks' Triumphant Return

[wwfpooh]

They prohibt hugs between friends just because of school rules, they take away Bibles that could reform convicts, and a bill was just drafted to allow the phone companies who were spying on law-abiding American citizens' private phone calls reprieve from lawsuits...Seriously, what's next?

Freedom of expression. That's why a lot of schools FORCE kids to wear godawful "uniforms". Let me tell you, it's a good thing no school I went to enforced us to wear uniforms, otherwise, I'd be in trouble all the time!

But getting back to the Bible subject, I remember watching on Yahoo! News a while back that an art student was expelled from his school because his independant art project was religious-themed (it had a cross and the Bible verse John 3:16), MEANWHILE another kid in that exact same art class got away with a Satanic piece or artwork.

What the H-E-L-L? They let the devil walk free among us in artwork, but resent what many people consider a guiding spiritual force (and the very reason many North American ancestors came to settle where they did)? This is beyond idiocy.

Tell me about it!

I'm not going to add more fuel to this particular fire, but this further confirms my suspicions that religious people (not just Christians) are becoming a minority.

Honestly, I would not have minded uniforms. Then I would not have been made fun of for the type of clothing I wore . There are two sides to that debate really...
But then, I never put much of my energy of expression into clothing anyway..blame it on having to get too big awful looking shoes to fit my leg braces I guess .

But the whole idea of PC thinking is always a bit one sided, you please one side but you make another mad :\

Yeah & during it all, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle class gets squeezed, for everybody's got a price. But when exactly will we grow backbones again, stand up, & say that the price is too much for one to pay? How many more have to suffer--or even die--before the human race gets itself back on track?

This has gone a little out of the way of a chipmunks discussion.

No, because the boys were CGI, semi-realistic critters in the first movie. Thus, the girls would have to be just the same. The problem? How do you capture animals with human-esque qualities & anatomical parts without offending someone? That's part of what I worry about in the Fraggle film, because with the Fraggles being pantless, the PC police could think that the show send the wrong type of message, if you know what I mean.

As Boogerman would say, Snot a problem.

You CAN have suggestive female curves on an anthropomorphic character that doesn't wear clothes...

Look at this (official) picture of Princess Sally from Sonic.

There are some others, and I'm embarassed as a cartoon fan to not be able to name more G rated ones.

But then again, how curvey do you expect the Chipettes to be? they are pretty much 10-12, so they'd have a kid's body anyway.

 

[D'Snowth]

Actually, The Chipettes are eight, and they HAVE had "suggestive" curves before... I don't what happened, but I've notice in any of the "Go to the Movies" episodes, Brittany ALWAYS has breasts.

And believe it or not, I've seen some girls as young as 12 that have "blossomed" physically if you know what I mean, so...

Ya know.....in the cartoon, the Chimpunks mom looked like an actual chipmunk with no clothes, while Alvin and the boys still wore their oversized shirts.
The most diriest performance I've seen the Chipettes do .... "Getting Lucky" from "The Chipmunk Adventure"
