Wait, I have an indoor wedding scheduled in exactly 2 months and from talking with vendors the wedding business is booming right now (people who deferred their wedding plus normal wedding business is creating a crush). If Fauci actually said that it seems he is living on planet make believe.

[Habbaku]

Yeah, but eating from the bag? That feels like giving up on life.

I can agree to that. 

[Valmy]

A true man of culture would at least get Cool Ranch Doritos.

Wait...so you don't find this crass American stereotype of French people offensive?

The weird part about this one is that, just as with Speedy Gonzales, nobody was asking for this. Companies are just being pro-active in finding what might get them in trouble in the future I guess.

He was based on the character from a famous movie of the late 30s, wasn't he?
I've never seen him as more French than any other, since all my cartoons were speaking French anyway...

Best one in a long time.  Take that, Cancel culture! 

PS: Pepé le Pew for the win!

The French dub had either a Marseille accent or an Italian one.  Even the original US dub would have some random Spanish or Italian at times for the Latin Lover parody angle.
The whole rape culture angle by the woke is hilarious from this side of the Atlantic. Perfidious Albion may differ though. 

I wonder what will happen when they will discover a certain anime called City Hunter (let us not mention the racier manga) and its hero, Ryo Saeba a.k.a Nicky Larson. Mono probably knows it, since the live adaptation starred Jackie Chan. 

As for nobody asking, I beg to differ:

'Space Jam 2': How Cancel Culture Came For Pepe Le Pew, Speedy Gonzalez And Looney Tunes

Warner Archives is releasing some classic Tex Avery cartoons on blu-ray but I guess the somewhat "problematic" ones are not to be released as per the botched DVD release of some years ago.

PS: latest Pépé le putois appearances

Wiki:

Pepé also appeared on the 2006 direct-to-DVD movie "Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas"
Pepé Le Pew has appeared in The Looney Tunes Show episode "Members Only" (2011)
Pepé appeared in Looney Tunes: Rabbits Run (2015)
Pepé also appeared in New Looney Tunes (2015 - 2020)

I guess you in theory one could note dirtying a plate is more wasteful.

You won't hear that argument from me though.

When my son had volleyball tournaments, tacos in a bag were a best seller at the concession stand.

Huh - I signed up on Twitter just to follow some people.

I started answering some legal tweets, and I'm up to 20 followers!

Anyone else use Twitter?  I've got Syt, but that's the only one I know of.

Tim posts tweets all the time.

Just be careful and mindful of your career prospects.

I'm posting under my own name and keeping it very professional.

How so? You think Fauci can give exact dates for when individual states decide it's okay to have indoor weddings?

Gaining followers on social media can be addictive - I post my pictures on Instagram, I'm up around 6.6K.

Yeah it seems kind of pointless to post stuff on my own - I have no followers and nobody will see it!

So I just reply to other people's tweets, and sometimes those people find interesting enough to give me a follow.  If I get some more I might start up with original tweets.

Actually, Fauci was talking about having "normal" weddings "like we used to" with no masks, no social distancing, etc.  There may be selfish people having such weddings now, but then there have always been selfish people.
