Title: Stupid News
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-12-10 15:37:46
I've noticed out world news section has funny and stupid news sometimes.  Maybe a topic focusing on stupid news you find would be good found here.  If not, we can merge this topic.

Swedish SJW's claim snow plowing is sexist (http://www.thelocal.se/20131211/snow-plowing-should-be-gender-equal-greens).

An interesting idea. I say we see what others think.
It could be, one is serious and the other is silly. But maybe some people like having the mix?
Who knows, we'll see :)

But wow... I hate SJW's. And Sweden seems to be full of them.

Uuuhhhhhhhh. Damnit Russia.
And Numbers, it's Russia. Also wait, why is this in stupid news?

From what I read in the article, I get the vibe that they're not exactly encouraging it, but are just saying "yeah all bets are off dudes, do what you want to win". Again, if these are openly stated rules, then the people doing the games know what they're signing up for. So... If they do decide to play in this reality tv show, then they are the stupid ones.

That they make it equal for both sides, it's true that men in Sweden has been the priority to hire when it comes to snow removal.
Sweden is all about equality.

We kinda thought they were saying snow plowing ITSELF is sexist. Not that they only hired men to do the job. XD
Title: Re: Stupid News
Post by: Wolfwood on 2016-12-16 14:42:50
You can't call an occupation sexist if it isn't by nature.  Snow plowing isn't exactly a job most people think about wanting to do as they grow up.  Fact of the matter is, more men apply for snow plow driving jobs.  It isn't sexist, it just is a fact.  You sit and a truck and drive around removing snow.  They'll hire anyone who wants to do that.

Another job that isn't inherently sexist is, but SJW's label it as one, is airplane pilots for commercial liners.  93% of commercial pilots are men, yet most women who do the course to become a pilot, become a pilot anyways.  Studies by British Airways has shown women at a young age don't see being a pilot as a top job for them.  Over 1,000 young people asked, no females said they wanted to be a pilot, yet some male children did.  The British Airways study concluded that females might not choose to be pilots because of the time constraints and commitments to being a pilot, and how it takes away from family life.  They also used data on their own pilots and found many female pilots had to take time off for child bearing and raising, and many didn't come back after that.  So it came down to time and perception.

There is also debate with car mechanics.  Most are men, but I don't have any data on that one.

I agree that priority roads that are main arterials need to be removed first.  I disagree with the article saying that roads need to all be plowed the same.  That makes no sense.  Why would you plow a road with two homes on it before plowing a main road that connects people to business and services like a hospital?

The article becomes ridiculous because equality becomes a detriment when taken too far.

I'm going to play devil's advocate.

So lets say this girl is REALLY good, and she feels playing on the female teams is not a big enough challenge for her... should she be allowed to play with a higher league team?  Boy or girl league?
Title: Re: Stupid News
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-23 22:48:02
What? But that's... Not what's happening. The girls basketball team wasn't formed because there wasn't enough interest in it. So because she still wanted to play, and school is CLEARLY the only place to play basketball, she wants to play with the guys.

But then the whole thing about fairness comes in. She's going to be playing with boys if she does get her way. And they'll either destroy her, or not want to hurt her because "she's a girl" and thus not actually ever give her the challenge of playing. They'll be soft on her, or as rough as they are with normal boys and could hurt her.

There's a reason there are boy and girl teams, and I know there are mixed teams, but in that case, both teams are mixed.
Title: Re: Stupid News
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-12-23 22:50:06
She can go play with a non-school league.  I did that with soccer.

As well, if she does end up on the guys team, what will they do about locker rooms?  Do all schools have girls and guys locker rooms?  She'd live like a champ having her own locker room, own showers, own 14 bathroom stalls.  She could poo in a diff stall for two weeks every day!
Title: Re: Stupid News
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-23 22:52:47
Exactly my point. the dad on the news was all "she has te spirit to play, and that's what matters. she wants to play basketball, and the school is just crushing her spirit, and that's not right!" Like, man, if she wants to play that bad, find some intramural basketball team. A YMCA basketball team. Stop making a stink about nothing.

Lol, I can tell ya from when I was in swimming, the girls bathrooms would occasionally be used by non athletes. But yeah, most of the team the two teams are the only ones using it.
Title: Re: Stupid News
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-12-23 22:55:07
Schools don't have unlimited money, and it sounds like they even tried to make a team, but the kids didn't want one.  Sorry girl and her family, but the school tried.  Now you can try and play on a community team.  Things don't always go your way.  Suing certainly isn't going to help... oh wait, that was your goal, to make money off this.  It really isn't about the girl is it?  Sue the school, they lose even more money which could go on helping set up a team.

I got to go into the girls locker room once in high school.  It was with the coach and some school staff.  They were showing off the new installations to us for some reason, lol! 
Title: Re: Stupid News
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-23 22:57:56
Actually they're not suing the school. They're suing the Diocese of Newark. But yeah, there was not enough interest in the girls team so one wasn't formed. Tough luck. Go find somewhere else to play soccer. I'm sorry if I sound old fashioned and not progressive, but a girl just doesn't belong on an all boy team against an all boy team.

Haha, well isn't that something APD.
Title: Re: Stupid News

Title: Re: Stupid News

It was tied in by locker rooms. 

Yeah, lets say I wanted to be a LaCrosse player... or extreme Shuffleboard player.  If my school didn't have the sport, I couldn't blame them for that, especially if there was no interest in the amazingly young sport of shuffleboard. 
Title: Re: Stupid News
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-23 23:03:53
Haha. Shuffleboarding. I mean, yeah, you can't blame the school. You can't force the school to do something because it didn't work for you. If you want something that much, then go find it someplace else.

I thin you're getting carried away APD. There's a difference between state marriage and church marriage. State marriage really has no sanctity. It's a piece of paper saying your married. And we have laws against marrying your children or anyone underage.

One shouldn't use slippery slope fallacy. It's iffy sometimes to use.

Didn't stop that Mom from marrying her daughter (http://kfor.com/2016/09/07/oklahoma-mother-daughter-arrested-after-alleged-incestuous-marriage/)....

I guess what I am saying is... where do we stop with marriage?  Do we define it and let it have value? Or do we allow it to grow and have no meaning?  If marriage breaks down, family breaks down.
Title: Re: Stupid News
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-12-23 23:12:25
Well, that woman, who probably could easily have a boyfriend if she so choose, is feeling what so many people feel now days.  They don't want to be told what to do or held down, and have someone/something that won't judge them or realize their weaknesses and insecurities.  She can probably find joy with that thing, but never leave her comfort zone.  It is a growing thing in the world.  Japan is having an issue with people not dating anymore or getting in relationships and just doing their own thing.  They are worried about the future.
Title: Re: Stupid News
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-23 23:14:51
But she was arrested... So it was illegally done. It's not like people are allowed to do it lol.

It has whatever value you let it have. If you start basing value off what other people are doing that's just kinda dumb. Does it mean a lot to you and doing it is special? Then yeah, it's special to you.

And honestly, marriage has kind of been on the decline. Divorce rates going up. People haven't been respecting marriage for a long time. Marrying robots isn't going to make it worse or whatever.
Title: Re: Stupid News
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-23 23:16:10
Japanese people aren't marrying and having kids because they are literally working themselves to death and not leaving room for doing things. They're just working and working. No time for relationships and love and dating. And it's sad. Because I think as of this years census, Japan's population has actually shrunk.
Title: Re: Stupid News

People spend more money on their pets than on themselves. But I'm not complaining. Better business for me. And there's not really a problem with viewing ther lives as valuable as humans. They are sometimes worth more honestly, to some people. Animals don't judge, they live unconditionally. They're better.

And hey, if a Robot can have feelings, can think for itself, and so basically what a human can, then what about it is different than a human? That it doesn't have flesh?

*rolls eyes* I think you're all being really over dramatic. What's "wrong" exactly morally about marrying a robot. Sure it's stupid and weird, if it doesn't think for itself and what not, but morally. Nothing really.

And what's morally wrong about loving your pet as much maybe not more than you would another human? Let people choose what they want to love and what they value more. If they detriment because of it, their loss.

If someone marrying a brick "ruins" marriage for you, maybe it didn't mean that much to begin with. It's the same thing I say about shows or movies or sequels. If anything those things should make you cherish yours more.

Yes, it's as stupid as it sounds.  The teacher is saying that students saying "God Bless you" when someone sneezes, is offending her and she is calling it harassment.  Hey lady... get a life.  She called out the student by calling them "little cretins" on her Facebook.  Of course, the local Atheists organization in Florida is standing up for her.

Best Selling Book On Amazon Is Blank Pages!

Source (http://www.king5.com/news/nation-now/book-filled-with-blank-pages-tops-amazons-best-seller-list/421709135)

SEATTLE — A book "written" by a conservative author and filled with blank pages in a dig at Democrats is the top selling book on Amazon.

"Reasons to Vote for Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide (https://www.amazon.com/Reasons-Vote-Democrats-Comprehensive-Guide/dp/1543024971/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489293143&sr=8-1&keywords=Reasons+to+Vote+for+Democrats%3A+A+Comprehensive+Guide)" consists of 266 pages. It has a table of contents, chapters and a bibliography, but no words on the pages other than the book and chapter titles. It's billed in the description as "a political treatise sure to stand the test of time."

As of Friday morning, it was Amazon's best-selling book. The paperback is available for about $8.

Author Michael J. Knowles tells Fox News that when he took a look at the Democrats' "record and reasons to vote for them," he thought "it was probably best to just leave all the pages blank."


Even funnier the book currently has 4 and a half stars out of 5!  It was released on Feb 8, 2017.  Within a month of Knowles book releasing, Democrats tried to do the same thing and released, "Reasons To Vote For Republicans: A Captivating Interpretation (https://www.amazon.com/Reasons-Vote-Republicans-Captivating-Interpretation/dp/1544288999/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1489293143&sr=8-2&keywords=Reasons+to+Vote+for+Democrats%3A+A+Comprehensive+Guide)." It was released March 9, 2017. It too is blank inside but is not being bought at all and has one and a half stars.  It was released by liberal writer, Char Daley.

If they are mad about how Apu represents and Indian man.... why aren't caucasians mad about how Homer or Peter Griffin represent white people?

Is it because he's been the focus of an number of episodes that makes him such a target? I mean, Cookie Kwan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_recurring_The_Simpsons_characters#Cookie_Kwan) is an even more agregious stereotype of Asians, and no one's complained about her because she hasn't had a real DIL (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ADayInTheLimeLight) episode in the twenty or so years since her debut. Also, "Kwan" (and its various spellings) is usu. a Vietnamese or Korean surname, not mainland Chinese, but we have yet to hear the Simpsons writers taken to task for that.

Personally, as a man of Scots-Irish extraction man myself I'm looking to see Groundskeeper Willie step up and fill the breach left by Apu's absence. We've only had two Willie-focused eps in thirty-odd seasons, and it's a tragedy.

His blase, smarmy attitude is both sad and chilling. He acts as if he's a celebrity getting a police escort to some A-list event. As I said here (https://www.deviantart.com/haggismccrablice/posts), I really don't think Chris understands the seriousness of the charges-- or maybe now it's starting to settle into his fat head that this isn't like talking his way out of a parking ticket; he's really in trouble. He illustrated this point perfectly during his bail hearing by actually stamping his feet like a petulant child (https://www.newsweek.com/chris-chan-interrupts-court-proceedings-over-incest-charges-stomping-feet-1616880) there, before the judge's bench, when denied a chance to go home and get his stuff.  I think the last of his illusion of "well, it'll all blow over soon, and I'll be home by supper" will finally dissipate when they lead him into the back room, hand him a pair of stripey p.j.'s, and show him where to go to strip off his street togs.

Reality will set in when he realizes he isn't being let go to go home and has to sit in a jail cell.

Wow.  Amazing how their life has changed.  It started rather innocently and ended in incest.  Well, I take that back.  It hasn't ended yet.  Except more charges then just the one so far.  I can see elderly abuse, assault, and much more.

The officers did a good job and followed all protocol too.  Nice job on their part with hecklers all around.

Further details on Chris Chan... and how this horrible woman baited him to doing this. She is insane and her ultimate goal was to have him end himself.  You can read/watch it all here.  This doesn't make what Chris did right, but he has mental issues and is easy to manipulate.  He listened to her.  This woman has killed someone else before, I am more sure how she is not in jail.

All this fuss about he/she/it pronouns... besides it trying to mitigate the real crime(s) here, is it advisable to give regular doses of potent female hormone injections to someone with a documented history of mental instability? I mean, look what it did to Bru--er--Caitlin... Jenner.  She reported wild mood swings and seeing her sex drive go through the roof-- from what I've heard, she became a perfect bitch, set off by something as simple as trying to use the telephone with those new long fingernails. And she's, by all accounts, fairly normal and altogether. It's no coincidence, perhaps, that some of Chris' more bizarre antics have happened while he was transitioning--steep an already-diseased mind in a brew of good strong lady-juices, and:
(https://bestanimations.com/Military/Explosions/atomic-mushroom-cloud-explosion-2-2.gif)
For my money, someone really should have stepped in when he took a kitchen knife to his gooch (https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Self-inflicted_taint_wound) in a half-assed attempt to become a real girl.

His social circle has become a lot more... interesting as well. Besides this sociopathic young woman, he's been hanging out with a pack of troubled, dope-smoking layabout teens and a group known as the "Idea Guys" (weren't they, like, bad guys on The Tick?), whose input actually made the last few issues of Sonichu even more incomprehensible, disjointed, and deranged than before.

I rather like Chris' court-appointed attorney's take (https://www.newsweek.com/chris-chans-lawyer-says-mental-health-issues-contributed-incest-charge-1617388) on the whole matter: basically, even in this, the information age, "innocent until proven guilty" is still the law in this country, so we shouldn't rush to judgement.  "Mental health issues causing misguided attention-seeking and often provocative engagement with others" is one thing, but does it wash?-- yeah, Chris doesn't handle "success" and "fame" well, but after all, you can be an asshole online and still not (bleep) your mom's (bleep). :-X  ::|

Of course, there's still over a month to go 'til the actual court date-- this is all just preliminary-- and I expect Chris is already anxiously climbing the walls. He'd do well to hunker down and come up with some sort of strategy to at least mitigate his almost-certain impending sentence.

I am concerned about this woman who provoked a lot of this, and it's concerning because there are ZERO sources online that even mention her.  That makes me think either the media doesn't know about her, or she is getting away scott-free with doing horrible acts here and in her past. She is partially responsible for Chris Chan's actions, but she also needs to face charges for the other crimes she supposedly committed.

Izzy Janke isn't locked up (not yet, anyhow) but she's banned from her college campus for two years. It's described as a "suspension", not an outright expulsion, which seems awful lenient to me-- in my day, you got your transcript flagged for a hell of a lot less, and you can throw around as much money as you like, if you got it, but no school wanted a known troublemaker in their hallowed halls. It's a distinction without a real difference, really...maybe her well-connected parents pulled a few strings to keep Texas Tech University from freezing her records; Janke could transfer her academic credits to another school, and it's very likely within a year, if she hasn't leaned her lesson, we'll hear how bad she acted out over there.


Artists on Superman comic getting death threats over Man of Steel's sexual preference; police called in (https://www.news10.com/news/police-rush-to-protect-comic-book-artists-after-threats-over-bisexual-superman)
Okay, this is wrong on so many levels. One, no matter what you think of this decision, there is a little something called the First Amendment. If you don't like this new direction DC's taking with Superman, cancel your subscription and quit reading the book.  Secondly, leave the damn artists alone. Many pencillers and inkers are freelance laborers, and their work may be seen on several books published by the same company. Your really good ones get commissioned for work by other comic houses or even TV shows. Each one probably cranks out so many pages a month I bet they blur together after a while: one day you're the guy or gal working on Spider-Man; the next, they got you on, I dunno, the Muppet Babies. It's, ultimately, an editorial decision; the scribblers have no say on Supey being a little light in the knee-high red boots. You may as well beat up the grocery store checker because of the high price of a top sirloin.

NY Post (https://nypost.com/2022/01/04/tv-star-stephanie-matto-stops-selling-farts-after-health-scare/)

Woman Who Made $200,000 From Selling Farts In Jars Suffers Scare Caused By Excess Gas

She had a fart attack.

A reality TV star who launched a gassy venture peddling her fancy flatulence to strangers Stephanie Matto, 31, blew away people on social media when she recently announced that she makes more than $50,000 a week selling her farts.

The Connecticut resident had gained international recognition after appearing on the reality show “90 Day Fiancé” and later started her own YouTube channel, wrote books and founded an X-rated subscription site called Unfiltrd.

She then really made waves with her olfactory business by capturing her emissions in jars and selling them because she “thought it’d be a hilarious publicity move that would get a lot of people’s attention.”

But after making $200,000 in sales, the influencer has announced her retirement when she passed one too many and got the wind knocked out of her, Jam Press reported.

Matto was rushed to a hospital with chest pains she feared were symptoms of a heart attack, according to the outlet.

After undergoing a battery of tests, including blood work and an EKG, Matto was told that her pain was the result of her steady diet of gas-inducing beans and eggs.

“I thought I was having a stroke and that these were my final moments,” Matto told Jam Press. “I was overdoing it.” 

The self-proclaimed “fartrepreneuer” had squeezed out up to 50 jars’ worth of farts a week to keep up with demand – and even added protein shakes to her diet to make them more pungent.

“I remember within one day I had about three protein shakes and a huge bowl of black-bean soup,” she said.

“I was advised to change my diet and to take a gas suppressant medication, which has effectively ended my business,” she said.

Matto explained that she decided to launch her butt business “on a whim” after getting requests.

“As luck would have it, once I put the jars up for sale, they began to sell like hotcakes,” she said.

“I honestly could not believe the demand. I think a lot of people have this fetish in secret. I began this venture by eating mostly protein muffins, shakes and also hard-boiled eggs,” Matto continued.

She said she “decided to branch out a little bit and try some new recipes to keep it exciting.”

The natural-gas manufacturer’s menu also included black-bean salad, onion and ham-and-pepper omelettes.

“I think that certain foods produce better-smelling farts,” Matto said, explaining that she put a heavy emphasis on smoothies.

Despite her financial success, the reception to her unique business has been mixed, according to Jam Press.

“I have a lot of people praising me, calling me a girl boss, telling me that I inspire them to be unashamed of who they are and what they do,” Matto said.

“But on the other end, I have been getting a ton of negativity. I have even received death threats, people telling me I should end my life and so on,” she added.

“I try my best to not react to these people and give them what they want, which is attention,” Matto told the outlet. “In this day and age, we need to stop tearing people down for their choices.”

She added: “I think my family is relieved [about my retirement], and honestly so is my colon. The diet was never sustainable and there was always an expiration date.”

The newly retired fart peddler said she plans to donate a portion of her income to charity that supports gastric disorders.

“Even though I got backlash, I think it has opened a new door for me. I’m working on digital fart jar artwork at the moment,” Matto said.

“I think everything happens for a reason, and although my fart-selling days are ending, I am going to save the money I’ve made and will put some into crypto,” she added.

USA Today bashed for naming Rachel Levine 'Woman of the Year' (https://komonews.com/news/nation-world/usa-today-bashed-for-naming-rachel-levine-woman-of-the-year)

Dr. Rachel Levine, the nation’s first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the Senate, was named USA Today’s “Women of the Year” Sunday, sparking outrage from her critics. USA Today has been lauded by some for giving Levine the honor, but criticized by others.

A lot of the criticism stems from her decision making during the pandemic while serving in her role as Pennsylvania’s health secretary. Levine reportedly oversaw the implementation of guidance requiring Pennsylvania nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients discharged from the hospital – a move critics argue directly contributed to the more than 13,200 nursing home coronavirus deaths in the state. Data on COVID nursing home deaths in Pennsylvania was often missing and incomplete, and Levine often gave contradictory answers when pressed on the issue.

Nonetheless, she was still tapped by President Joe Biden for her current role as Assistant Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), where she has helped oversee the federal response to COVID-19.


Title: Trans Players & Sports
Post by: Wolfwood on 2022-03-18 19:20:22
So here's the deal.  The latest issue is Trans sports players (men transitioning to women) are joining women's sports leagues and absolutely crushing the women competition.  They are setting new women's records, not by seconds, but in some cases by minutes.  Men have a different body structure obviously than women and it allows them to excel in certain sports over women.  The issue is, how is this right to all the women athletes being beat by men who now say they are women?  How will women's records ever be taken seriously if there is always going to be an asterisk next to it saying "by trans players" meaning it wasn't a biological women who made the record.  It would therefore mean women's records don't exist and you'd have to look down to the first player without an * next to their name to see the true winner.

A lot of these players who originally played as men saw middling to no success in the men's side of sports, which leads many to think they are transitioning just so they can be considered excellent players on the female side of things.

Is this right, wrong?

Right now the big one everyone is talking about Lia Thomas (who was a man and now they say they are a women).

Meanwhile, the political left, Democrats, and the ACLU say that trans players in women's sports is good.  Here is their complete argument presented by the ACLU: Argument (https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rights/four-myths-about-trans-athletes-debunked/).  For the left it comes down that sex is fluid and can be changed at anytime.


So how do we solve trans-players in sports, whether male or female? 

My answer, have sports leagues that accept male, female, and anyone else into the league.  That way it isn't just a male or female record being kept.  Male and female leagues of course would still dominate and exist, since they are the majority.  But anyone who wishes to play in co-ed leagues can.

Woman Rescued After Falling Into Toilet Trying To Get Her Phone (https://komonews.com/news/local/woman-rescued-after-falling-in-toilet-trying-to-get-phone)

"A woman who accidentally dropped her cellphone into the hole of a pit toilet and fell in while trying to retrieve it had to be rescued by firefighters in rural Washington.

Brinnon Fire Department Chief Tim Manly said the woman, who was at the top of Mount Walker northwest of Seattle, had been using her phone when it fell into the toilet on Tuesday, The Kitsap Sun reported.

Manly said she disassembled the toilet seat and used dog leashes to try and get the phone and eventually used the leashes to tie herself off as she reached for it. That effort failed and she fell into the toilet headfirst.

"They didn't work very well and in she went," Manly said.

The woman was alone and tried to get out for 10-15 minutes. Reunited with her phone, she called 911, Manly said.

Responding firefighters passed her blocks to stand on to reach a harness, which they used to pull her out of the vault. The Brinnon Fire Department said the woman said she was uninjured.

She was washed down and "strongly encouraged to seek medical attention after being exposed to human waste, but she only wanted to leave," the department said.

"I've been doing this for 40 years and that was a first," Manly said.

Is this is an actual screencap from G5?  Impressive. It'd be a pretty fast turnaround, given animation lead-time. Chris' arrest was barely ten months ago. If it's homebrew, equally as impressive.  Seamless edit,  and they've got the empty eyes and sullen sneer spot-on.

 It seems, for just over two months now, Chris(tine) has been at an "undisclosed location", which is a nice way of saying (possibly) in the booby hatch.

Yes that was an actual screen cap.  From months ago.

This is pretty funny and it even comes from a funny source, the Huffington Post.

Is it the legendary Chupacbra?  Some people having fun with a prank?  A FURRY?  This mysterious being was caught on an Amarillo, Texas security camera!

Never thought we'd see news like this...

Democrat Senate Hopeful John Fetterman Uses ‘Simpsons’ Clips To Undermine Republican Dr. Oz’s Campaign, But Without Permission From Disney

Article (https://www.cartoonbrew.com/politics/john-fetterman-dr-oz-the-simpsons-221836.html)

"Pennsylvania Senate hopeful John Fetterman has enlisted the help of a popular Simpsons character in his latest political attack ad against opponent and tv personality Mehmet Oz, in which he unfavorably compares Oz to Dr. Nick Riviera, a snake-oil salesman and charlatan on The Simpsons.

Fetterman’s ad was tweeted out by his verified account and quickly pinned to the top of its feed.


The way Fetterman uses copyrighted content in the ad feels like a very modern play in a very old game. One can’t help but wonder about the legality of using the scenes from The Simpsons in such a way. Sources close to the situation have said that Fetterman didn’t reach out to Disney to ask to use the character. So, why hasn’t Disney had the video taken down? The video was posted more than 20 hours ago (at time of writing) and Youtube strikes have certainly been issued much faster and for less in the past.

And what rights to artists have to refuse the use of their creations by politicians? For years, musicians have been demanding that politicians not use their songs while campaigning. What kinds of rights do visual artists have in protecting the use of their original creations?

If, however, this type of use is protected and legal fair use, might we see similar strategies used in the future? Will Spongebob and the Minions start promoting political causes without authorization from their IP owners? Certainly the comparisons between animated characters and real-life politicians don’t start and end with Dr. Oz and Dr. Nick."

I think people are upset not because of copyright issues, but because Dr. Nick is a foreigner, and it comes off as very xenophobic/racist.  It would be like using Apu to mock Dr. Sanjay Gupta (who is a joke, but certainly not owing to his ethnicity), or Bruce the Performance Artist from Family Guy to represent a LGBT-XYZPDQ candidate. "Oh, noooooooooo-ooooooooooooo."

Oh no.... I can't imagine his Grandma is living on her own anymore.  She is probably institutionalized and I would assume Chris will be too.  He can't live on his own.
