I am ever amazed at what messages people can add to a story.

CG was my favorite book as a kid. I read that thing untill it disintigrated.

It's time like this I wish we could slap some sense into people.

Could I hope it's a publicity stunt?

I heard that Curious George gives you cancer.

I thought you meant George Bush at first...damned Internets conditioning.

HMmm that would be interesting to see how many people think this is about shrubby. ;)

Sdaeriji: You forgot AIDS! :p

Curious George is currently supporting the career of Will Ferrell, and that is a terrible enough deed for me.

you probably dont want to see the movie then. im sure they had to change many things about it. times change and what was acceptably funny in '41 is just wrong today

kinda like in "the cat in the hat" where the mom left the kids home alone all day, in the movie they had to add in a negligent babysitter. (not that i saw that piece of crap, i just read that added the babysitter)

Curious George is a Republican. A well-known Republican.

That's it. What paper work do I have to fill out to disown the human race? I want out.

Chuck Norris could cure it.

Sending George to jail "just raised too many questions," O'Callaghan said. "Why would you send a monkey off to a human jail with other humans? In the '40s that was probably OK, but not now. It would involve too much explaining."
Cus people in the 40’s were stupid?:confused:

Chuck Norris could cure it.
Too bad he doesn't cry.

I think you'd have to own it first...

Too bad he doesn't cry.

Maybe he could roundhouse kick right in front of him and scare away his cancer.

Are you kidding? He’d just end up killing him with the shockwave.

And the shockwave would kill anyone in a 5-mile diameter.

That goes without saying.

What rubbish. I read a similar story here in the UK about the beloved pink cat, Bagpuss. Some people apparently interpreted this as an allegory for a communist dictatorship.

yeah, my friend, my friend did that, and ten years later. . .
BOOM herpes

i'm just saying. . .
curious george. . . is curious in other things too.

shame on you. you thought i was smaking a homosexual comment. but i wasn't. he was curious about prison life!

harharhar

Question: how could a little kid conceive of something complicated, like imperialism, without being explicitly taught it? Sometimes a story is just a story.

If the parents stop parenting, I guess, and leave it to "somebody else" (who seems to be doing everything these days). Then the young skulls full of mush can be molded into anything. Hmm... [plots takeover of public education systems worldwide]

Roth, a high school English teacher in Los Angeles, writes on her animal rights Web site that "Curious George" reveals "the sinister side of a corrupt wildlife trade with perilous roots in Western imperialism." When the mischievous George is sent to jail, "the picture of the forlorn little primate alone in his cell conjures haunting images of countless monkeys lingering in laboratories, suffering silently and alone."

And people still start threads asking why kids aren't getting a good education.

Anyway, this broad's a mental defective.

BTW, I saw the movie, it's pretty damn cute. And a pleasant change from the usual slightly unsavory rubbish that passes for kids entertainment today.

Now, I'm speaking as a polite little lefty who hates to hurt people's feelings...but this is disgraceful. >_>

"...the sinister side of a corrupt wildlife trade with perilous roots in Western imperialism..."?! Do you know of any normal child that even has the slightest inkling as to what imperialism is? Can't a story just exist for the sake of simple enjoyment?

It could be a highly political story, Alice in Wonderland was.


The little kids who want to see it wouldn't give a shit until they're older.


Politicians suck.



(I never read Curious George, by the way)

No, left/right-wing whackos and "Animal Rights Activists" hate the children. They want the children to die/be unhappy if they don't convert to their cause.

Which is why PC is actually the Devil's Handy Work.

Curious George killed the cat.


No, wait. That's not how it goes....

I thought you meant George Bush at first...damned Internets conditioning.
Why would someone make a thread about something everybody knows by now? (Well except the last one, I doubt That George has enough time to abuse animals. Though I bet PETA would say otherwise.)


Though it's people who write stuff like that garbage about a kids movie, should be left on a small island in the middle of nowhere.

Theres a porn called Curious George. Maybe they got the two mixed up?

So did I, and was going to add that he wasnt actually curious, as that would make him a higher life form, but now my chance to strike is gone.....

NOw ther's something. I thought he meant George Galloway, maybe because I'm Scottish.

In case you didn't know, George is the guy who blasted the Senate committee when they tried to link him with receiving gifts from extremist muslims before the Iraqi invasion

i dont even want to know. especially how they get the imperialism into porn and the animal ab[OMG!!] nevermind.

nevermind

Hey, if Harry Potter turns kids toward Witchcraft, then Curious George must obviously make them imperialist animal abusers. :rolleyes:

ROFL! You got that mental picture didn't ya?

Unlike the literary George, the celluloid George doesn't smoke from a pipe or take a hit of ether. While T-shirts depicting George laid out next to an ether bottle (from "Curious George Takes a Job") have been a popular seller in Haight Street novelty shops for years, O'Callaghan was leery of including the scene in a G-rated movie.

Am I the only one who wants one of these t-shirts?

Hell I want one with the man in the yellow hat spanking George (you know, spanking the monkey).
