Gotta be quick at lunchtime.

This is two days old, AFAIK, so "quick" isn't a factor. I've been laughing about it at armchairgeneral for a while now.

Certainly some classic american media, at first I thought it was an Onion spoof.

Excellent, it took less than a week for someone to make my piss take become real.

[Coito ergo sum]

It's a grand conspiracy...

Ernie and Bert are trying to convince your kids to be gay...
Oscar is there to glorify homelessness...
The Cookie Monster is desensitizing our kids to drug addiction...
Frog and Pig sex is teaching our kids that interspecies romance is acceptable...
Communism is just a drop in the bucket...

Have movies based on how the big guy wins over the small guy may be highly realistic but don't make good entertainment.

Hey I'm Rocky the poor person with a shit job , hello Apollo super rich sportsman.

Ding Ding, Apollo knocks out Rocky with one blow

Rocky ends up in hospital can't afford medical bills (he should have saved more) gets kicked out and dies


No Rocky II,III,IV ..........

Oh maybe there is potential to this idea

Also, haven't seen the movie, but Sesame Street has definitely started pushing lefty politics, while simultaneously marketing to children like crazy. I really wouldn't put it past Disney to be hypocritical enough to do this again. The people who think children's entertainment isn't full of propaganda are the ones fooling themselves.

Disney has gone int the war business. It's subtle, but the reference to "Mars" here are obvious:

What a way to cherry-pick movies He pulls out four movies, two of them kids movies, supposedly against the oil industry and then says they don't want to tell the story about what the oil industry has done for America...

Using the same format of tenuous linkage I'm going to say off the top off my head... Armageddon. A buch of oil drillers go into space to drill into an oncoming meteor to plant a nuclear bomb within and blow it up saving the day.

Go America!

Even that was about the small(er) guy triumphing over the larger organisation NASA/Goverment/Miltary/Large Rock

Movies only work if its a case of someone having to overcome obstacles
