The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Where we draw the line is the tricky bit. I used to watch Pepe (yeah, I'm old). I also remember seeing some cartoons that were...less than flattering...in their depiction of black people. Stereotypical of the era. The latter would be verboten today. They wouldn't dare air it. Is Pepe going too far? Maybe.

Canada several years ago banned a Beatles song because it's lyrics were a bit cringy today ("Run for Your Life").**

The point about GTA is well-taken. I've never played, but I have seen snips from the game. Though GTA is for mature audiences, and Pepe was aimed at 7-yr olds, which factors into the appropriateness of each.

**"run for your life, little girl...catch you with another man, that's the end, little girl".
