rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

me neither.

never had cable. really only wanted it so I could see Yo! MTV Raps, which I would have to go over to friends' houses to watch

I watched rap videos after adjusting rabbit ears to tune in The Box

i started getting cable in 1990 i believe, we also stole it. for years and years and years!

THe only Nick shows I remember people talking about were like, Doug, and that one where the girl can turn into water

Still weirds me out when I go to other cities and see that CBS/ABC/NBC etc. are all on different channel numbers

That's fucked up man

i have any number of local celebrity newscaster anecdotes that are now sadly moot
"but you don't understand, HE WAS WEARING A SNOWBIRD T-SHIRT AT THE MALL!"

had a weird thing as a tween where i hated kids shows with people in them. only really liked cartoons. i just found kid actors and sets of homes and schools really fucked up and condescending, idk.

now i'm kind of animation-averse. but i guess my attitude toward that kind of show is the same, now that i think of it.

We didn't even get UHF as far out in the woods we were. One kid in junior high had the big satellite dish taking up his entire front yard and would come in talking about the cartoon with the spikey-haired boy that the Little Rock Fox affiliate played on Ch. 38.

Only Nickelodeon programming I ever watched was Pinwheel at my grandmother's house in Memphis. (She'd tune it over to that so I would calm down after discovering that there was a Channel 5, what the hell is a Channel 5?)

Channel 2 was PBS.
Channel 3 was for the Atari or VCR.

Any other way and you lived in Soviet Russia, for all I knew.

i have fond memories of watching nickelodeon (a lot) as a kid but i suspect most of that nostalgia would be ruined by actually rewatching most of those shows, except some of the animated stuff.

Did we ever figure out if Nickelodeon is racist?

yeah, this thread took a weird turn

i just found kid actors and sets of homes and schools really fucked up and condescending, idk.

yes, i hated that shit. same goes for disney channel shit that i sometimes saw at friends houses. just seemed so distant from what i experienced as a kid that i had a hard time understanding why kids liked those shows

Well, the Canadians really did never tip.

was supposed to be an image from my fave nick show are you afraid of the dark xp ^^

that one where the girl can turn into water

Alex (Alec?) Mack? Or something....

nick for me was double dare, ren and stimpy, YCDToTV and i barely remember anything else
it's always surprising to me what a cultural impact the programming i skipped had on people.

One kid in junior high had the big satellite dish taking up his entire front yard and would come in talking about the cartoon with the spikey-haired boy that the Little Rock Fox affiliate played on Ch. 38.

my parents wouldn't let me watch the Simpsons either

oh man I forgot about All That. That show ruled. loved watching it.

"All That" can't be racist they had Nas!

it's incredible how this guy wrote a fucking book about the history of nickelodeon and from the start 100% of everything he says is wrong. all of it. millions of age 25-35s who had cable grew up on nickelodeon, and this guy, who considers himself some sort of expert, knows less than everyone else. these shows were all popular! 4 seasons for a kids show is huge! dan schneider, literally the biggest behind-the-camera figure in nick's history, makes sure his shows (with some exceptions) don't exceed 60-65 episodes. and the nostalgia thing lol. me and my brother and sister and everyone i went to school with were waxing nostalgic about it as soon as we were old enough to be too old for it. we'd have the same exact conversations over and over again.

dude is literally just a pete and pete/ren and stimpy megafan who decided to write a book about it

also he's racist

i obv didn't realize it at the time but the recurring orange soda gag on kenan & kel is pretty o_O

i can't believe i'm saying this but zachlyon otm

don't worry buddy "israel is genocidal -- zachlyon" now u can rest easy

i am amazed by this dude's responses in that interview

Has anyone mentioned his erotic fiction yet?

stimpy/pete slash?

Oh, if only

holy yikes

is slime or gak involved

Book Description
Publication Date: August 17, 2013
From Mathew Klickstein comes a new classic of erotic horror: Oliver Maxwell is demented, depraved, and disturbed. He's also one of the most caring young men you could ever hope to meet. In his own words, he both loves and hates women with equal intensity, confessing, "Some I hate so much, I have to see them naked." If you think Oliver Maxwell is complicated, just wait until you read about his sex life...

When this conflicted milquetoast discovers a stranger sprawled out and unconscious in an alleyway one night, he decides to take her home with him to "nurture her back to health and consciousness."

Oliver soon realizes that in order to take care of his mysteriously cataleptic housemate - the sudsy bubble baths, the muscle massages, the incessant combing of her silken blonde hair - he will need to indulge in extracurricular sexual diversions to keep from inflicting himself on her tender, vulnerable body.

There begins a litany of progressively perverted episodes for a man whose fantasies might be others' nightmares... and vice versa. For Oliver Maxwell (and the various paramours he comes upon during his nocturnal meanderings), experimentation is only the beginning. He craves the fear as much as the fantasy, and knows he's not the only one. Along the way, Oliver finds his lost angel in a coma might not be as innocent as he presupposed...

Publisher's note: "Rag Doll," is a work of fantasy containing horror and erotic themes that some readers might find disturbing. All characters in Rag Doll are of adult (18+) age.

yiiiiiiiikes

And if you LIKE what you read, also check out Mathew's other lesser-known books such as: Rag Doll (not for children but his best work to date), My Dog Forgot How to Read (talking eBook for children, no joke), Daisy Goes to the Moon (for children if your children are weird, but probably more for you), Back to Hollywood (if you can find it) and This Book is Called Counter (which you almost assuredly won't be able to find). Also look out for some of Mathew's short videos, stories and the like scattered about the Internet and library archives. Enjoy. America.

there it is.
