So, who watched Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer tonight? It was on CBS at 8:00pm EST. I've been watching this movie ever since I was little, it's become a Holiday tradition of mine. I do have a few comment.

1. I may be reading too much into it but for most of the movie, Rudolph and Hermie is Out casted, and they seem to make a big deal out of it. Is there an underlying message? My dad thinks Rudolph and Hermie are supposed to represent gay people.

2. Is it me or does Santa comes off as a real bastard in this movie? Jeez, give boys and girls all around the world a toy, and treat your own reindeer like crap.

3. Cornelius is looking for Gold and Silver, and yet, when Rudolph goes to separate himself from them to protect them he says "Goodbye Cornelius, I hope you find the Tinsel." It's not Tinsel, it's supposed to be Gold and/or Silver!

This is the first time I ever realized these things, and I still enjoy watching it tonight.

That elf always was an odd one...dentist... pah!

In before fundies saying we should protect the show from liberals, atheists, and homosexuals...come on, I am sure its out on the internet somewhere.

When I was little I watched it. Now that my brain has developed, I hate it. *nod*

Why do you hate it?

Why do you hate it?

Because he hates freedom, and 'Murica. Duh.

I shall be the first (and hopefully last) person to suggest that Rudolph's nose is a phallic image, and that the movie is about a man coming to sexual maturity by accepting his erections (blinking/whistling red light). In the end, a man must learn to use his antlers, which are also phalluses (or, as Firefox would rather I spell it, phalli), to defeat the Snowman, which represents the Oedipus complex, by forcing it into a chasm, which represents the birth canal.

The important thing to take away after reading this analysis, of course, is that Robert May had three penises. Also, Fiddlebottoms need sleep.

Sleep is for the weak.

His companions of course represent the traditional orientations.

The bearded dude (forgot his name) is the manly man, representing his heterosexuality.

The elf is a stereotype of feminine homosexual male, representing his homosexuality.

Meanwhile the island of lost toys and it's inhabitants represent his repressed sexual urges.

Rudolph is female. As are all the other reindeer, for that matter. Male reindeer lose their antlers during winter.

The fundies haven't said crap. Only the perverts who fantasize about having gay sex with reindeers and elves have.

I watched it, every time his little girlfriend came on screen the kids and hubby and I did our best Hannibal Lecter voice and said "hello Clarice"

yeah, we are that weird.

I'm in denial about it being nearly Christmas. So as far as I'm concerned, we're months away from having that Christmas tripe on our TVs!

Since all the reindeers are female and everyone who commented on them is male, then how do you suggest we would go about having gay sex with them?

Wear a dress?

Wear a dress?

Interesting. If I wear a dress I become a lesbian......

Or a man in a dress. *Shrug*

This will require a lot of scientific experimentation.

Rudolph is a boy.

Rudolph is a boy.

he sex may be male, but that doesn't speak to his gender.

Rudolph is a boy.

Male reindeers lose their antlers during the winter.
Rudolph is always shown as having antlers, even in winter(not that he's shown much any other time of the year)
Thus Rudolph is female.

Hmmmm... gay reindeer sex, now that's a seller! :)

Santa and the North Pole are magic, therefore the laws of biology do not apply.

Also the song clearly says he's a boy.

"Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call "him" names,"

Santa and the North Pole are magic, therefore the laws of biology do not apply.
Clearly they do, since she's referred to as a reindeer, something which is defined according to biological laws.

Also the song clearly says he's a boy.

"Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call "him" names,"

Probably just a typo. And wasn't it "All of the other reindeers", since there wasn't one called Olive. And 'the other' implies that Olive is the only other reindeer.

Santa and the North Pole are magic, therefore the laws of biology do not apply.

Also the song clearly says he's a boy.

"Olive, the other reindeer, used to laugh and call "him" names,"

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.

There is no "Olive", it's "All of".

it's possible that Rudolf's gender was unknown, and the pronoun "him" was used because in proper grammar that's the one you use when you don't know.

One of the names they called her was probably 'butch'.

This was disproved in 1999.

There's an Olive.

Again, 'Olive, the other reindeer' implies that Rudolph and Olive were the only two. And clearly there were more than two.

Actually, if you read on further in the lyrics I provided, you'll see that it goes on to say...:

They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.

So, it becomes apparent that it's not a singular entity but rather multiple.

unless Olive has MPD then it's really insensitive for you to ignore it.

Then how do you account for: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen? Especially when it's apparent that there are many of them unless Santa is seeing shit.

Besides, with all the magic dust floating around I wouldn't put it past Santa to be seeing things....

ROFLMAO! /Thread! You win a piece of Cheesecake Smunkee.

So, who watched Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer tonight?
I don't think I ever watched that (besides the fact that I don't receive CBS over here).

I watched the Big Red One (The Reconstruction) instead tonight.

In Soviet Russia, the reindeer ride you.
