Vincent Bolloré caused the end of Les Guignols ! | "Hands off 'Les Guignols'"
L'Année des Guignols 2014/2015 "Je Suis Guignols" - Bande-annonce + Lien...
Les Guignols fan account gets shut down by Canal+
Les Guignols de l'info fan account on YouTube called " Generation Guignols " is getting shut down by Canal+ tomorrow. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn-R1gBlR3hu8-bzF7Y2dLg So enjoy the videos while you still can. #LesGuignols #LesGuignolsdelinfo #GenerationGuignols #JeSuisGuignols Similar thing happened with a Spitting Image fan account on YouTube called The Complete Spitting Image when ITV ( and or BritBox ) had it shut down.
Both political satire puppet television shows were Leftist leaning. Like Les Guignols and Spitting Image, both are uploading clips on their official social media. However even though they own the original master footage and films, Fandom uses saved recordings if recorded from a VCR or DVD Recorder or Internet capture or just found. Generation Guignols is a collective of fans who gathered footage together for this account to be shared. Attacking fans with Copyright Infringement, ID and Matching ( Especially when fans are not profiting off of this and it is literally being shown for educational / historic purposes, isn't that one of the purposes of what the internet should be used for ? The information age ? Remember ? ) is a violation of fair use because Fandom and fan accounts help preserve for history / educational purposes when copyright owners refuse to supply the demand. Vincent Bolloré bought Canal+, fired the writers of Les Guignols de l'info and the original producer in 2015 and they were replaced from 2015 - 2018. Canal+ / Vincent Bolloré didn't care that Les Guignols de l'info still had a strong fanbase and perhaps stronger than the surviving Spitting Image fanbase maybe.

You could either be passive about it, shrug it off and mind your own life or BE THERE IN SOLIDARITY FOR YOUR LIKE MINDED COMMUNITY ! SOCIAL HIERARCHY IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE !
You could either be passive about it, shrug it off and mind your own life
or BE THERE IN SOLIDARITY FOR YOUR LIKE MINDED COMMUNITY !
SOCIAL HIERARCHY IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE !
There's many different kinds of cultures and communities out there in the world. Many influence one another too.
Culture brings liked minded people together and it's a very beautiful thing and creative expression of life.
Good ideas are not hierarchical, however it's good for people to learn and know the history of it's origins.
However what is hierarchical is when someone wants to exploit it for their own selfish gain and of course there are many ways people can manipulate, decisive, and even intimidate for their own self-centered purposes. Social Hierarchy. A poser who dresses the part, learns the lingo, but doesn't truly care about it at all, they fake it to get in the door so they can get whatever they want out of you through exploitation and leave you feeling anything but happy when they are through with you. Again, that is hierarchical and that shouldn't ever be accepted.
Again, inspiration of good ideas isn't hierarchical. Capitalism is much more than promoting the idea that it's the only path to prosperity because everyone conforms to it, the end. It divides people, it funds Authoritarianism, divide and conquer, and all sorts of things that most people aren't aware of because of course mainstream media and politics won't dare talk about class consciousness.
Cultures can be respected, but at the same time there's more than one and more than one variation. We need to learn to get out of this "here and now is all I need to know about life" mindset and get woke, get awake, this is the internet age, knowledge at our fingertips. Community brings people together, capitalism divides them and have them compete and have conflict with one another ( divide and conquer ). Another world is possible ( if you want it ).

Statler and Waldorf heads from Muppets Tonight auctioned at Prop Store. Video with MythBusters' Adam Savage.
I'm guessing that these Statler and Waldorf heads are from Muppets Tonight. At least from the mid-late 1990s era.
At this time whenever people find things like this, I don't know why people can't just donate them to the Jim Henson / Muppet exhibits at the museums.
The Museum of The Moving Image, Center of Puppetry Arts ( Atlanta, GA ), Smithsonian, Birthplace of The Frog Museum in Leland MS, or the traveling Jim Henson exhibitions.
It just makes sense for someone to do that.

BritBox Spitting Image Series 2 ( Official Trailer ) ( Review )
I don't know if BritBox Spitting Image Series 2 will be any better than the first or if it's one of those situations where the trailers look better than actual new series of BritBox Spitting Image.
This does look funnier than anything I've seen in most of series 1.
And of course, bringing back Spitting Image's traditional " headbutt " .
Hopefully the new series will be closer to the 1980s Spitting Image and not just a modern day version of 1990s Spitting Image ( minus the satirical music parodies ), especially how the official Spitting Image social media has been uploading all of series 1, most of series 2, and a few episodes and clips from 1980s Spitting Image.
But of course because of the capitalism of the entertainment industry, it's mostly likely than not to have doubts and be skeptical.
So for now, I think it's just going to be another BritBox Spitting Image Series 1. But surprisingly decent clip. Though again, not as energetic as the original. And as before, there's that feeling that something is toned down a little bit.

Thoughts / Opinions on Anarchists against New Age Spirituality
It's not uncommon to hear Anarchists / Leftists reject New Age Spirituality and vise versa. This is why I have talked about New Age Spirituality from an Anarchist prospective in terms of Anarchist Spiritual reform aka Spiritual Anarchism not only on blog articles but blog videos as well. There was even a recent sketch on my satirical show " The Erica Crooks Show " on how many Anarchists can be very ridged in terms of the " proven by science only " mindset that it can violate the liberty of Spiritual Anarchists / Religious Anarchists.
There was even a comic that I did with both an Anarchist and New Age Spirituality person arguing and my point again was why not both ? And of course Anarchists would be more willing to reject it not only as pseudoscience but also as just another hierarchical religion which explains why most Anarchists are Atheists. I've heard that Anarchists are skeptics and not believers, but what about those who are both ? I think the point of Anarchism is more on the lines of making sure that there's no hierarchical power over others. Anarchists tend to go after Spirituality like Religion and any other hierarchical doctrine written by the capitalist ruling classes in order to expose on it's real purpose which is to use brainwashing technics to keep us obedient, divide and conquer, etc. However I do believe that going towards Spirituality in such a way is again coming from an Atheist / proven by science only mindset and the point I was making in my satire is that if people don't use critical thinking, empathy and sympathy for others then they could get extremely caught up in it. If Anarchists want to be Atheists and believe that there's no afterlife, fine but that's just as much their liberty as an Anarchist that believes there is one at least. An Anarchist Society should welcome knowledge including knowledge from the past. At least in my opinion.

30 Years of Spitting Image joining Phil Collins and Genesis with The Land of Confusion music video in 1986
30 Years of Spitting Image joining Phil Collins and Genesis with The Land of Confusion music video in 1986.
Yes, Spitting Image is a show ( 1984 - 1996 ) ( 2020 - current )
And the Genesis Land of Confusion Spitting Image music video happened because Spitting Image satirized Phil Collins https://spittingimage.fandom.com/wiki/Hello,_You_Must_Be_Going . And that didn't stop Spitting Image from doing it after the music video either.
The other puppets for the band members of Genesis would be recycled as stock puppets through out the rest of the show's original run.

Pepe Le Pew has been retired / fired / CANCELED by CANCEL CULTURE ( satire )
It's sad that Pepe Le Pew has been officially announced as retired / banned by Warner Bros. He's a satirical character. He's a romantic who's probably watched many romantic movies and read many romance novels but lacks experience in relationships and no one ever told him about boundaries, consent, respect, etc.
Today's culture seems different. Satire & Slapstick Comedy doesn't seem to be as popular as it used to be.
I love it because I feel artistically and creatively that it relates to this quote.
" Art Should Disturb The Comfortable And Comfort The Disturbed. "
I don't think any of this reinforces crime and abuse. It's satire. But culture is different now. It's very commodity focused rather than about life in my opinion.
Not everything is for everyone, not everyone can find this kind of humor healing. We all heal differently. Spiritually, through music, etc.
The world needs love, but we live in a world of hate, fear, sadness & pain unfortunately.
I don't think reform, commodifying, trusting people in power is going to solve anything. Fred Hampton talked about Class Conscious. The root cause of all political problems has the same pattern which is hierarchical power over others. If people got along horizontally socially, the world would be a better place. And when people live happier lives, people can laugh more. :)
Still, satire sometimes needs to do it's duty because that's what satire does. And satire is often a misunderstood art form.

Cancel Culture on Pepe Le Pew & Miss Piggy
It's been an interesting week. I was wondering how would Miss Piggy & Pepe Le Pew respond to the Cancel Culture controversies surrounding them. ;) I'm very happy that the originals are available on the streaming services but unfortunately there's people reacting to them negatively. There's this strong demand for "positive media representation" in characters. And to me, this explains why many favorites in pop culture history aren't as good as the originals in my opinion. Many comedy characters were satirical. But today, people think such characters are negatively reinforcing crime & abuse. And unfortunately, it's nothing new because satire has always been controversial & misunderstood. And the thing is satire and slapstick comedy has been apart of cartoons and puppetry just as long as the art form's existence in history. To me, it's artist tradition. I wish there was more cultural appreciation. But instead, art is looked at as a commodity, instead of what art and entertainment really is about. A reflection on life and the hard working, creative and talented people behind it as well as the fun and love they put into what they love to do. :)
