-- I saw it in Barnes & Noble last night -- called "Keep Chewing Until It Stops Moving."

Are you saying Atlanta is filled with Blacks and Gays?Me, 9/24, 02:36 AM
Well, Atlanta has been a Black American Mecca for a long time now. And it has gained a reputation, maybe unfairly I don't know, of being a haven for closeted gays. At least this is what Wendy Williams would have us believe, but an old friend of mine down there has me wondering if there's something to it after all. And on the commercials the cavemen do seem rather... genteel...(Not that being genteel is a bad thing.)
They could easily have put the cavemen in NYC or LA. Remember that the Men In Black series put the aliens in NYC because they said it would be the easiest place to blend in
and in LA, the cavemen could pass themselves off as "practicing for a part."
But the show's synopsis says the cavemen are supposed to be trying to make their way in the face of prejudice and stereotypes.
The moderator at the Jazzyville forum where I had originally posted this thought it should be posted in a blog so more people could see it, and maybe comment... ?
I think it is stretch to think the Cavemen represent Black males.
ReplyDeleteIf the Cavemen are walking around with modern-day humans, then perhaps they represent a minority...nothing more. Nothing less.
My 2 Cents.

"Cavemen" is the latest in the ever declining wasteland of television. It's so bad the Washington Post, hardly a braintrust, is poking fun at it with an absurd list of commercial to TV show spin-offs.
ReplyDeleteMy wife said the show was funny. The reviews from MSN were not so good.
