BS: The truth about Tom & Jerry

Here's a link to a clip from Iranian TV that reveals the truth about Tom & Jerry.

The clip plays in Windows Media Player.

Peace,

I do hope you realize I was being sarcastic when I referred to the clip as "the truth."

Can any of ya tell if this is really what it appears to be, at all?
I opened it fully expecting to see that Jerry Falwell had now proclaimed Tom and Jerry to be gay propaganda. If this guy is in fact getting his political analysis from Tom and Jerry cartoons, at least we can take comfort in the fact that America doesn't have all the whack jobs.

Especially since "Tom and Jerry" wasn't produced by Walt Disney. Rudolf Ising produced the first one in 1940 and the rest were either by Fred Quimby (1941-1955) or Hanna/Barbera (1955-1958).

Hoo boy. Wonder what this guy would make of "Itchy & Scratchy." Is this really an Iranian profesor's lecture? Or is it a brilliant piece of satire?
And now that I downloaded the video clip, will the FBI come knocking on my door?

You beat me to it, Rap: I think the REAL message hidden within the cartoon is that Jerrys are far smarter than Toms.

Well, that's it then. Let's just go and kill all those awful Iranians and other Islamic nutcases and everything will be much better, won't it?   (sarcasm)

The propaganda goes both ways. With similarly nasty intentions on both sides. That clip will be shown to one side to make them hate Jews, and to the other side to make them hate Muslims and support an attack on Iran. Clever use of mind control on both sides, I'd say.

You can easily find similar video clips of anti-Muslim American speakers with which to infuriate Iranians. It's a great way to get people ready for a war.

Got anything to show that might encourage mutual brotherhood and peace?

The twaddle that the idiot spoke in the film was delivered as if it were a well reasoned peace of analysis. That is what makes it so easy to trick the students into believing that they are being educated rather than indoctrinated. It is so much easier to recognise stupidity when the speaker is ranting and raving.
The lunatics of the religious right in our own countries cultivate the same affable, reasonable manner. Presentation is everything.

Tom and Jerry is an alcoholic punch my grandfather used to make involving warm water and gin. Grandaddy did make it in the 1920s, but he didn't use bathtub gin. He got his booze from a bootlegger.

Probably from someone's bathtub in the middle east.
You know, if the Immams in Islamic countries stopped censoring media from the western world, they'd find a lot more stuff to talk about than Tom & Jerry. Then we could have some real fun. Why should the Danes have all the limelight?

Islam Targets Porky Pig
Mark Steyn reports a trend in modern Britain to clear the countyside of all references to our porcine pals.

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (Tory-controlled) has now announced that, following a complaint by a Muslim employee, all work pictures and knick-knacks of novelty pigs and "pig-related items" will be banned. Among the verboten items is one employee's box of tissues, because it features a representation of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. And, as we know, Muslims regard pigs as "unclean", even an anthropomorphised cartoon pig wearing a scarf and a bright, colourful singlet.

Cllr Mahbubur Rahman is in favour of the blanket pig crackdown. "It is a good thing, it is a tolerance and acceptance of their beliefs and understanding," he said. That's all, folks, as Porky Pig used to stammer at the end of Looney Tunes. Just a little helpful proscription in the interests of tolerance and acceptance.

as many farmers named teams of horses Tom & Jerry.

Tom & Jerry...very popular in the Old West....

1 oz. Dark Rum
1 oz. Brandy
1 Egg
1 tsp. Sugar
6 oz. Hot water milk, or coffee

Seperate egg in two bowls. Add Rum & Brandy to the yolk and beat together until frothy. In the other bowl beat the egg white until it peaks, then add sugar and beat until stiff. Fold into the liquor mixture. Pour into a coffee mug and top with the water, milk or coffee.

I've only just found this thread; hence the late reply.

That video clip is just marvellous. If that had been a stand-up comedian doing that, I'd have laughed my socks off.

I wish I could say that that kind of silliness masquerading as political insight was rare in the Middle East but unfortunately........

And what religion/race do we think Yosemite Sam represents? I have my own ideas on that but I'll hold fire for the moment!

I certainly don't remember Tom & Jerry as a Disney creation.

Hitler certainly didn't start the persecution of Jews in Europe. The yellow star idea actually came from the medieval French (along with a horned cap, both of which had to be worn in public at all times).

So Jerry the mouse is Jewish. You know, I've never trusted that mouse!

I guess we kind of got a glimpse into the crap that went around Nazi Germany disguised as scholarship. Pseudo-science and pseudo-history.

I'm surprised he didn't mention that the sound fx man for the Hanna-Barbera series was Todd Dockstader who did some extremely freaky, weird electronic pieces with tape manipulation and oscillators. In fact, he was creating these flipping bizarre pieces in the early 60s while doing the sound for the cartoons--his day job, I suppose. He's pretty much regarded as a highly innovative and influential early electronic musical pioneer among the avant-garde set--he's virtually a god. He could be said to have been engaged in decadent experimental Jewish arts that subvert traditional values although I don't know if Dockstader was Jewish.

"certainly didn't start the persecution of Jews in Europe."

Funnily enough the main impetus for the whole racial bigotry thing grew rapidly in fertile soil in the USA and spread around - that's where the Germans got their books with those ideas from.
