    Modern Day Grinch Ruins Christmas (Cartoon)

    Cartoon showing Dr Suess Grinch holding a list of Christmas songs and why they should be banned including Baby its cold outside."

    There are some modern day Grinches (and not the Dr Suess Grinch) who once again are trying to take away the spirit of Christmas and the holidays.  First we were told to stop saying “Merry Christmas” because it was insensitive to non Christians and then we were told to stop saying “Happy Holidays” because it was insensitive to Christians.   Well now this year the big debate is around songs like “Baby it’s Cold Outside” or “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” which apparently are trigger songs for rape and bullying.

    I agree that both of these things are terrible but unfortunately a one-sided viewpoint has gotten people arguing up a shitstorm about whether the songs mean what has been interpreted.    I can understand not wanting to listen to particular songs because you have a personal sensitivity to it or wanting to discuss rationally why the song may create issues for you.  But I cringe on all sides when the start off point is “I am offended, so ban this” or “I am offended, so you have to start/stop doing something”

    So give it up to the Grinch who instead of stealing Christmas from the Whos down in Whoville, has created a whole list of potentially offensive songs that he will tweet on twitter in hopes we will do the rest.

    I hope you have a Merry ChrismaKwanzikah.

  • Trump the Grinch

    Is Donald Trump the Grinch?  His continual fear mongering to win support for his Presidential run garners a lot of press and quite a few supporters.  However, his current rants against Muslims, including barring any Muslims from entering the country and starting a database on those who are already here, reminds me of Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950’s.    McCarthyism created unsubstantiated claims that certain people were Communists causing the accused to lose their jobs or careers.

    So what better time of year than to mashup Trump with the Grinch.  How the Grinch Stole Christmas has a great song called “You’re a mean one Mr Grinch” which you can listen the first verse here.

    I came up with the first verse.  Anyone want to take a chance at a second?

  • Guest Cartoon The Lamest and Xmas Cheer

    Occupy North Pole Editorial CartoonThe Christmas gifts keep going. Before getting his site hacked earlier this year, Dr Faust ran the site http://www.thelamest.com/.   His site was full of funny lists and lame things people do.  But I didn’t know he could draw.   Blown away by his Occupy North Pole guest cartoon.  (Click the image to see all the detail)  Hurry back and keep drawing J.

    The next day I checked my email to see some Christmas cheer from Dawn at Zorphbert and Fred Comic.
