Cash money and drugs are a better inducement.

Do they have a proposed solution for this crisis of involuntary celibacy? Like some sort of lotto, or mandatory blow jobs?
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I have access to neither :cry:, and nono, there's no solution proposal to that problem, nobody will have me... why do you think I'm so thoroughly depressed all the time, damn, when have I been NOT depressed in the last 30 years... well, I could quote times, but those are a tiny minority.

The solution is to kill the guys who get girls, so there's more chance losers can score with girls.

Yes, by all means, we must scrub comedy of any piss-taking of people's accents and heritage.

It's a tough one. I can see how it could easily lead to bullying and negative stereotyping. But on the other hand, it's fucking funny. I don't know what the right answer is to these types of issues.

I was watching The Wright Stuff (UK TV) this morning and this subject was mentioned. It was pointed out by one of the panel - (British of Indian origin) - that this appears to be an American problem. Over here we don't care and can see the humour in the situation. We certainly wouldn't use it to bully someone.

There's probably far more Indians (proportionally) in Britain that the US. Perhaps that plays a part.

Indians are not generally subject to bullying here in the States, not in any greater proportion than any other nationality. Indians are an admired minority, if anything, being that they tend to gravitate demographically to lucrative careers - business owners, doctors and other medical professionals, and the like.

Indian-Americans of the Apu variety have median annual incomes of $115,000 per year - the most of any ancestry group. These are not bullied or discriminated against people in general.

Yes, of course, if one is making fun of an Indian person, one might use the Indian accent as a go-to joke, because they can sound funny (which is the appeal of Apu). But, that's really no different than when northerners go down south and make fun of the southern accent because it can sound stupid to the northern ear.

It's all much ado about nothing.

Bullying does occur, and it does occur toward Indians and other nationalities. My parents are of European dissent, and I remember people laughing about their accents when I was a kid. They sounded vaguely like the Muppet's Swedish Chef. Accents sound funny sometimes. People can be dicks sometimes. But, are Indian people have a particularly big target on their backs? I don't see it.

Yes, there was a wave of children being bullied because of Apu. It's amazing. For the past 27 years, children throughout the United States have been mercilessly bullied by imitations of the character Apu on the Simpsons.

Any compassionate person knows that we cannot have humorous characters in adult comedy cartoons. Cartoons must be accurate and serious in all respects, which means they cannot have immigrant characters with funny accents.
