Firefly's Jayne Fears Equality For Monsters

quote [ The Public Broadcasting System's taxpayer-funded "Sesame Street" has, at cursory glance, presented young American children with what colorfully appears to be one of television's few safe havens of educational fun.

Yet, embedded in its visually intoxicating muppetry and otherwise innocently entertaining educational content there lurks highly controversial political messages designed to promote multiculturalism and global citizenship ]

Rage against the Muppet, Adam Baldwin!

What next, "Monsters are entitled to their opinions and those opinions deserve equal respect to humans"?

NUTS!

This guy has a thesaurus, a decent education, and is crazy.

Well, he is the crazy sheep of the Baldwin family, yes.

Just kidding, that's Stephen. Adam is apparently not a Baldwin Brother™, but it sounds like he'd get along somewhat with Stephen.

My friend used to refer to him as "the Baldwin who's not a Baldwin."

Adam or Steve? Oh my, this isn't the gay thread. Sorry! I think I crossed the streams.

Republicans and conservatives have been attacking "Sesame Street" for years. It never ceases to be hysterical when they do it.

I don't see the problem. I was thought we are all one world and everybody is the same.

Then I grew up and my views changed.

Naruki said @ 3:28am GMT on 9th Mar
I do not know what your views are now, but a guess would be you don't dislike the idea of multiculturalism, you just don't think it exists.

Adam here seems to actively work against better cultural integration. I think he prefers war and strife for some reason.

willrogers said @ 8:44am GMT on 9th Mar
See, I don't get how some Americans are so against multiculturalism.

Multiculturalism created American culture, which is a blend of the cultures of all of our immigrants.

At the Founding, the country had mostly British, French, and Spanish cultures and traditions and it evolved as more immigrants from more places arrived with their natives cultures. Back then, the WASPs made a big deal about other foreign cultures destroying American culture and it was blatantly racist with things like "the Yellow Peril."

Complaining about multiculturalism today is just as xenophobic and, often, racist as it was two hundred years ago. Culture is an organic and non-exclusive thing. It changes over time and we can have more than one culture active in a given area at one time.

I left a message calling for revolution because God created America for Whites, not Blacks or Mexicans, but that pinko commie liberal Adam Baldwin didn't approve it.

Whenever I hear people rant about the horrors of multiculturalism I always want to ask whether they would prefer apartheid or genocide because barring those two options a multicultural society is pretty much a given, at least in most countries.

In the same sense that Ann Coulter is, yes.

I still can't tell. I don't care if Baldwin's conservative but it would be sad if he turned out to be bat-shit crazy too. I mean, that shit makes Rosie O'Donnell's demented ramblings look positively lucid.

One of the interesting things about the internet- specifically Twitter, in my experience- is that you get a really fascinating look into the personal lives of some celebrities. For some, this is fantastic. Nathan Fillion and Neil Gaiman, for instance, seem to be just as awesome as I could have hoped.

In other cases, this is awful. I followed Adam Baldwin for about three days before I decided it was best not to ruin stuff like Firefly and Chuck by associating his real world views with his characters. On the other hand, my mom thinks he's great.

The Chuck Norris meme was ever so much more enjoyable when I had no idea he was a lunatic.

Without reading the rest of his blog, I'm going to guess it's satire.

"As Orwell deconstructed: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”"

That has to be satire...I don't think anyone can misunderstand Animal Farm to that extent.

balzac said @ 12:05am GMT on 9th Mar
I was thrown by that, too.

willrogers said @ 8:37am GMT on 9th Mar
Orwell was criticizing the descent of communist regimes into oligarchies (which is a very accurate and prescient observation) but he was still a democratic socialist through and through.

Khafra said @ 10:36am GMT on 9th Mar
Also, he shares a name with the Muppet drummer. Although in that persona he did say "all niggers must hang," so maybe it fits.

This isn't his blog, it's Andrew Breitbart's website, dedicated to destroying Hollywood.

And because he's appearing on Breitbart, I'm sure we'll get a posting from him somewhere about "oooh, I can't get no actin' jobs 'cuz I'm a CONSERVATIVE," if it hasn't happened already.
