Anarchists are against HATE & FEAR ( Hierarchical Power over others )


Anarchism is about Liberty - Equality - Solidarity - Peace - Love - Harmony & Unity, not Hate - Fear - Chaos - Violence and Division !
It's a political philosophy on world peace knowing that the root cause of political problems is Authoritarian hierarchical power over others. Controlling others with Hate & Fear for the sake of hierarchical control over them is emotional / psychological manipulation, that's Social Hierarchy, and NOT acceptable in Anarchism or even Leftism !

Also be aware of Class Consciousness because Hate & Fear is often used to divide masses by The Capitalist Ruling Classes.

Vincent Bolloré caused the end of Les Guignols ! | "Hands off 'Les Guignols'"


Vincent Bolloré caused the end of Les Guignols ! #LesGuignols #VincentBolloré #LesGuignolsdelinfo #GenerationGuignols #JeSuisGuignols #SpittingImage #puppetry #caricature #caricatures #politicalsatire #charliehebdo

L'Année des Guignols 2014/2015 "Je Suis Guignols" - Bande-annonce + Lien...


The final season of Les Guignols de l'info which Vincent Bolloré was going to cancel the show but instead fired the original writers / producer ( later ) and the show would last ( while cutting budget little by little, letting go more and more people and making the show shorter from 10 to 5 minutes long ). Vincent Bolloré literally was canceling the show slowly. #LesGuignols #LesGuignolsdelinfo #GenerationGuignols #JeSuisGuignols

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 ). #culture #community #creativity #fandom #popculture #humanity #spirituality #motivation #narcissisticsupply #narcissism #narcissist #anarchist #anarchism #anarchistmeme #anarchistmemes #anticapitalist #anticapitalism #leftistmeme #leftistmemes #anotherworldispossible #divideandconquer #toxicmasculinity #arts #peace #directaction

The Great Muppet Caper - 08 - Night Life


Not a lot of people know that Joe Raposo did a couple of Non-Sesame Street Muppet Show related music composing. For example...

The Great Muppet Caper ( 1981 ) : Miss Piggy Fight Scene


Muppet Treasure Island was the other movie where Miss Piggy beat up multiple people at a fast speed where in The Muppet Movie it was pushing off a whole group of villains. The Muppets Take Manhattan featured that awesome pose of her in that scary pose screaming / roller skating out of a bush and going after someone who took her purse, and in The Muppets Go To Disney World - It's just awesome to see Muppets in Anti-Fascist action ( Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! scene ) . Then of course there's her smashing up the studio in The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show ( special ) . She's changed a lot in the newer stuff however.

Happy 40th Anniversary of The Great Muppet Caper ! " If that's The Happiness Hotel, I hate to see what the sad one looks like. " lol

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.

Rude Britannia – Spitting Image | TateShots


Almost 10 years before BritBox Spitting Image. #rogerlaw #spittingimage #caricature #caricatures #satirist #satirists #puppetry

Omnibus: Luck & Flaw's Illustrated Guide To Caricature


I'm still amazed on how there was more of a presence of the Spitting Image James Gillray puppet than I thought. The puppet appeared in 1985 but didn't appear on the show until the late 1980s as a stock puppet. Roger Law did mention that the James Gillray Spitting Image puppet did exist in 2010 which was also on display in many of his exhibits. There's many things that Spitting Image has done and most of it is RARE ! Some of the footage from this documentary has been seen in the 2014 documentary " Whatever Happened To Spitting Image ". #spittingimage #spittingimagepuppets #rogerlaw #caricature #caricaturist #satire #satirists #puppetry

Scooby-Doo meets Courage the Cowardly Dog


The first Courage the Cowardly Dog movie and it's not only just a direct-to-video modern Scooby Doo cross-over but ( even though most of the original Courage the Cowardly Dog cast will be featured in the movie except Eustace ) there is no involvement of the Courage the Cowardly Dog creator John R. Dilworth and Stretch Films. :( The animation according to the trailer already looks slightly different from the animation seen on the original Courage the Cowardly Dog series. #couragethecowardlydog

BritBox Spitting Image Series 2 : Promo 2


These promos are better than last year. And even though the official Spitting Image has been uploading classic episodes / clips which is great , I have a strong feeling that BritBox Spitting Image Series 2 is going to end up just like Series 1. As I've mentioned before in my video essays, BritBox Spitting Image is closer to 1990s Spitting Image rather than 1980s Spitting Image, but still lacks in comparison to 1990s Spitting Image. But there are a few things to appreciate. Cartoon violence being one of them which is something that was shared by all three versions and even the French inspired Les Guignols De L'info. #SpittingImage #SpittingImagePuppets #RogerLaw

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.

Sesame Street - Five Jive


5 more days until Street Gang : The Documentary becomes available on digital. 

According to Muppet Wiki, this is from 1991 ( Season 23 : 1991 - 1992 ). The 1990s ( when the show's seasons were in the 20s ) was around the end of Classic Old School Sesame Street and the start of the change of the show's entertainment quality. Jim Henson's final season was Season 21. Richard Hunt's final season was Season 22. Tough Pigs mentioned how Season 25 was the indicator of the show's change in format as well as season 30 due to trying to keep up with the competition of other educational shows for kids like Barney & Friends which took a different approach then Sesame Street ever did. Elmo went from just one of the monsters to becoming a main character. When he first became a character, his personality was very similar to the short lived girl version of Cookie Monster named " Deena " who just wanted to play all the time to the point of being impulsive and causing problems to other characters. lol Then by the early 1990s, he became more Big Bird, child-like. Maybe it was around the time of Tickle Me Elmo but he became a younger character afterwords. It's true that Sesame Street is an educational show for kids but there used to be this great entertainment quality aspect to it. And as a fan of Old School Classic Sesame Street, I'm very excited about seeing this documentary. :) In my opinion, this is WAY better than the current one which seems to me like "Play With Me Sesame" level now, sort of. But I'm just expressing this as a Classic Jim Henson Muppet fan. :) I agree with Frank Oz who of course prefers the original version, where it used to be hip for adults. Often the original Muppet crew would describe The Muppet Show as being Adult / Family and Sesame Street as Kid / Family. And that's something The Muppets tried to revive which was Family Entertainment with quality entertainment. Jim Henson grew up in the 1940s / 1950s when entertainment and cartoons didn't have such a strict rating system and audience division like there is today with the entertainment industry. Unfortunately most people have that consumer mindset. Even YouTube has that COPPA law thing where people need to separate their videos for kids or for adults. Anyway, I'm very excited to see this documentary. It looks AWESOME ! :)

Spitting Image (1984) - Series 1, Episode 12 | Full Episode


The legendary final episode of series 1 of Spitting Image ( 1984 ) has been uploaded. This was originally intended to be the last and final episode of the show. The show would continue until 1996 with 12 years and 18 series, and then returning in 2020 with two series. The second series of Britbox Spitting Image starts this fall. Britbox Spitting Image is even more distant from 1980s Spitting Image than 1990s Spitting Image is. 

This features Sting singing the Spitting Image parody lyrics for "Every Breath You Take" which they called "Every Bomb You Drop".
This would be one of the biggest highlights of Spitting Image history.

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. :)

Remembering Emma Goldman on International Woman's Day


One of the most inspirational political philosophers, and feminists in not only American history but world history, and she's rarely ever talked about. Probably because she was thrown out of America. Probably because she was an Anarchist. Probably because she was a truth teller. Probably because she was a woman who spoke out her mind because she knew in her heart and in her intuition that it was the right thing to do even if she was standing alone at times. Remembering Emma Goldman.

Jim Henson is an INFP

 One of my favorite parts about Jim Henson : The Biography by Brian Jay Jones is how it mentions that Jim Henson took the MBTI ( Myers Briggs Personality Test ) & resulted as " Idealist " ( aka INFP ) . As an INFP myself, I find this accurate. :)
