Today's Unsolicited Opinion

Whoever came up with using CG to lip-sync live-action animals to their voice actors deserves to be gnawed on by big vicious dogs with long muzzles, in order to learn that their mouths don’t work that way and goddamn it looks just WRONG when they try to animate it.

Snow!

I got my wish. It's A Christmas Miracle.

It's the last panel that gets me laughing.

I honestly think the idea of the War On Christmas has a lot in common with the garbage about how gay marriage will destroy marriage--both reveal a very narrow, ethnocentric worldview. The Christmas kerfuffle especially shows no appreciation for the similarities between cultures. And, of course, the assumption that one's own culture is the default is always in the foreground.

Anthropology, folks--it's not just about Those People In Forn Parts. (And as long as we have winter and cabin fever, we're going to have winter holidays.)
