Things that just ain't right:

So, I have some things that just ain't right, right here:

Family Guy to Go on Without Seth McFarlane Okay, what's up with that? He does major voices in addition to being the main creative cat behind the show. I can get they want the show to make money--but if the quality is played? They will hurt the show because quality counts. Now the damage will be short term, probably--but still--where's the respect for a writer's creative control? It doesn't seem right.

Vintage whiskey may be poured out --even nicely aged, non-harsh-so very smooth, bottles of Jack might see the long dark tunnel that leads to the sewers if somebody doesn't just one time understand--it isn't the contraband's fault. Now, here is where law might just be an ass.


And the last thing that isn't right--but in a very very different (worse) category of wrong: Orangutan shaved and used as sex slave . This is so wrong on so, so many levels. It's quite obviously abuse of an animal, but it's also, in a weird way, sexism and slavery. Pony is a female primate. She was captive, made uncomfortable (I'm sure the shaving made the poor girl itch, awfully) and trapped, and used for sex. By and for humans. Although a different species, she was way caught up in human drama--and I find I feel for Pony almost like I would for a human in her situation--maybe even more *pity*--because she couldn't possibly understand why it was all happening, couldn't say anything about it, could only hope some nice people would make it stop. And yet the madam referred to Pony as her "baby". What kind of weird dynamic was that? It's acknowledging the orangutan had maybe the sentience of a small child? Then was the madam pimping the moral equivalent of a child?--that's sick.
