OT Thanksgiving

Patti -- is a parody of M.C. Hammer, who wrote and performed the song
"Can't Touch This." He wears glasses, had (at the time) a square-top
haircut and wore big, harem pants.

I think it could correctly be called a parody. Just my opinion,
however.

Becki,
Your explanation makes me feel a bit better, but I still would not
send the card to anyone.

Patti

OH GOSH - Becki
Staying Alive would be a great one --
start now - then see if you can get AG
to buy the rights!
Whoooo!

Jerri -- it is not. Which is why I want the old one so badly now.
LOL. I sent that one out to my friends a few days ago and some of them
loved it, but I thought it a bit stupid.

Becki

Did anyone else think the new card is a little politically incorrect?
I think it borders on racist, but maybe I'm taking it too seriously?

Patti

OMG
they must have put it back due to demand!

LOL

Did anyone happen to download a copy to their computer of the
thanksgiving card of of the turkey singing the Gloria Gaynor song "I
will survive?" It is no longer available on the American Greetings
website and I really wanted to show it to some people at work. If
anyone has it could you email it to me at yahoo? (beckibead at the yoo
hoo site).

I know Cheryl brightened up my life with that last year and it was a
big hit. Would love to see it again.

Thanks for your indulgance!!!

Becki

I don't know how it could be termed racist, since it's a near-exact
copy (as much as a simple little cartoon can be) of the video of the
original "You Can't Touch This."

Sooz -- I can see exactly how people would think it was racist. If you
don't know MC Hammer, you totally wouldn't get it. It is
understandable.

He is from Oakland -- not surprised that you might know who he is!!
East coasters might not.

I, of course, love black men and hip-hop music so I get it even though
I am from the East Coast but most white people my age? It would
totally go over their heads.

Much love -- Becki

I LOVE YOU GIRL!!!! Thanks for taking care of me at Thanksgiving!

Becki

You may be right, I may be crazy. But it just may be a lunatic you're
looking for!
