Disney's Dipping Sticks: Sleeping Beauty Vanilla and Tiana Watermelon

http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/disney-stereotyping.jpg

fucking disney

okay lol

I am cracking up just as hard at Sleeping Beauty vanilla

Realizing the error of their ways, the canny and racially sensitive Disney Corporation scrambles to replace the current vanilla and watermelon flavors with Wonder Bread and fried chicken.

they're going to replace "vanilla" with "default"

lol

many xps - Abbott you know very well I would stop any class to hear a story about a sexual encounter with a ghost.

BIAMNAP...

you'd think they could have done some sort of 'green' flavor for tiana... like, she turns into a frog? there was an easy way around this choice, is all i mean

WHO is this professor with so strong an interest in ghost fucking?

That's one of the many reasons this joke is so dumb and doesn't work.

Dig 'n Dips

I'm with elmo -- dunno why they didn't go with flies or algae flavor

WHO is this professor with so strong an interest in ghost fucking?

original first line of the Spongebob Squarepants theme song

they're going to replace "vanilla" with "default"

They're just going to call it "skin".

there's a great bloom county about that

tho iirc it was about band-aids and not crayons? could be wrong

i occasionally wonder what affect it has had on my brain that bloom county was my favoritest comic strip for a good couple years ~10-11yo (i read Classics of Western Literature maybe x10000)

xp - it was bandaids iirc

hahahah you guys, if Disney release skin-flavored candy my desire to catalog terrible marketing decisions will forcibly compel me to buy a shitload of it

note the band-aid

'prussian blue' has taken on a whole new lol connotation since that comic was written

'flesh' crayon was changed to 'peach' in 1963

apparently the comic was kind of controversial!

Is there an online archive for Bloom County? I'd pay a fee to have access to the entire run, just to be able to post relevant toons.

Also, I wish Pareene use would use this one when needed:

Dammit.

"snow white vanilla and princess tiana chocolate? THAT'S RACIST!"

"you're right, we better change it to an inoffensive fruit flavor"

I like how his dad's hand claws up in the last panel

Is there a Bloom County thread we can bump?

yes

Christ, how did I forget about Loco Toledo?

this shit is old, but there's so much of it and it's just showing off the worst in everyone: http://hungergamestweets.tumblr.com/

never read the books but it seems like it's at least ambiguous if not pretty clear that the characters are black. and if they weren't? people still shouldn't complain, seeing as whitewashing happens fifty times more often.

the reaction to the lenny kravitz casting makes me hate people, but the reaction to the rue casting is mindboggling. she's very clearly black in the book.

sorry that's kind of unreadable. there were hilarious/depressing images of tweets about the casting that am0n had posted that are missing there.

the rue character is black in the book, the cinna character is not recognizably raced, but if people are going to complain about a black actor being cast as cinna they should probably not misidentify lenny kravitz as a rapper. also they should stop sucking.

kids these days are bombarded with negative media depictions of rappers like this:

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/images/izod-center-lil-wayne-live2.jpg

I can understand them calling Lenny Kravitz a rapper how would they know the difference, we need to educate ;_;

#DEWEEZY

oh hey that's likely not made the rounds yet but mountain dew and lil wayne are teaming up on an ad campaign pimping the awesome #DEWEEZY hastag and i'm serious and it's not racist but maybe we could pretend it was?
i sometimes wish someone would tell lil wayne that he's won already and it's time to start over

http://www.laowaicomics.com/10.html

i like to learn about cultural differences so i find it too bad that this comic is so clumsy and douchey. for most of the pages i would have been tempted to call it divisive instead of racist but then there is shit like the " member of lao tourist industry".
