While the characters are supposed to be human, humans don't have such grotesquely bugged-out eyes, typically; and the characters all seem to have jaundice, but there is no mention of this. I really hope someone got fired for this blunder.

Also, it appears that the whole show is a cartoon--hardly realistic AT ALL! I'm going to alert the scientific community at this year's Big Science Thing. I hope they listen.

Can anyone translate that cartoon? Is it even translatable?

Sigh!

Here we go again. No Xino, it is not SUPPOSED to make sense. That's the point......

THAT WASN'T THE QUESTION!!!!!!!! DID YOU READ MY POST? IT IS QUOTED ABOVE!!! There is a yes or no question, and if you know nothing of the languages of Eastern Europe, THEN YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION AND SHOULD BUTT OUT. I'm not asking if it makes sense. I already know it doesn't at least to an English speaker.

BTW the question is 100% on-topic and as far as I know has not been discussed before, so there is no reason at all for you to harass me about it.

I will answer any question I wish, Kiner. Don't try and tell me what to do on a public forum.

an English speaker.

And therein lies the gag. Once again, you are trying to read too much into every detail. Are you actually *trying* to troll, or can't you help it?

It's very easy to disguise trolling as on topic, particularly with a subject like TS.....

No.

How's that for an answer?

Depends whether it's true or not and whether you actually know if it's true or not, or if you're just being a pompous ass. (as usual).

Which Eastern European languages do you speak, or by what other authority are you able to answer the question?

I speak Russian and a little Polish.

If the characters in that cartoon are speaking a real Eastern European language, I sure as hell can't make any of it out, and neither can any of my friends (and yes, dickhead, they can all speak Russian as well.).

No its just taken the piss out of eastern european cartoons which from what i've seen are really that bad. They're just stupid and they don't make sense.

Your not spose to get it, if cartoons were meant for adults they'd put them on in primetime

Yes. Xino, if you are going to change your email name and address, at least try not to use the same first letter in the old and the new. Especially if the letter is 'X'.

Aaron, Xpeeple and I are not the same person. Rather he is simply trying to get me all riled up again, but I'm doing a great job of just ignoring him. I'm sorry if he's bothering you, but remember it's somebody else... not me.

Besides, you should know that he's been posting here for a LONG time.

XPeepleXino Kiner

Don't flatter yourself, Xino. I couldn't care less if you're "riled up" or not, I'm just a big absurdist.

Yeah, seriously, Aaron. That hurts.

Let's make litter out of this literatus! Oops, I am one of them!

Absurdist, eh? Whatever happened to "big kid". As in "Aaron, you're just a big kid.". Women say that to me all the time.

Well, I for one, welcome these new absurdist leaders, and accept my fate of being forced to toil in their sugar caves.

A cartoon can have different means to anyone, but if your concern is that the characters don't appear realistic enough, then you are not actively participating with the show, instead being distracted by logistics.

Just say it in the ng approved way: "IT'S A FRIGGIN' CARTOON!".

Also, Mr. Media Spectator, if that is your real name, it appears that you are not actively participating in this ng, just being distracted by logistics.
