Unladylike by Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin
In the ladylike matrix of parochially shitty patriarchy-ridden standards, girls next door are luckily far more likable than
The #MeToo revelation has already impacted Hollywood a few years back, but what about the epic and (almost always) endless systemic blowback which is primarily, but not always, the ruthless gulf between teen starlets and their bosses?
And according to a Guardian reporter, that gulf is technically the film system itself.
Here are the rage-ridden ethnic stereotypes popularised by that same old shitty film system, if not totally created by them otherwise.
Thankfully, despite the horrid virtual signalling, almost every kind of malignant bias is (kind of) diminishing its presence in Hollywood due to healthy

Australian SeaWorld vs American SeaWorld
1. The American SeaWorld means 'world-profit-hungry, sea animal lifespan-shortening centre', while the Australian contrast means 'sea animal lifesaving, family-friendly theme park'.
2. The dolphins at Australian SeaWorld are mostly local Australian dolphins, even though they can be unhappy in their shared pools. The dolphins at the American contrast come from different seas, yet have fared much worse!
3. The trainers who work at Australian Sea World are more like lovers of nature and sports. Those who work at the American contrast are more like mainstream entertainers!
4. The founder of Australian Sea World was a trustful lover of nature and sports. His counterparts of the American contrast were greedy and corporate profiteers.
5. Most animals at Australian SeaWorld are rescued creatures, while most of those at the American contrast are captive-bred or have been kidnapped by greedy profiteers.

Chic Chat, Kiwi cousin of Peppermint Park
Hello fans.
It's controversial but important at the same time that I want to define what is unintentionally creepy and disturbing even by today's standards!
Chic Chat: one of NZ’s less well known kids shows has been a permanent television archive resident for a long time.
Therefore, the only good videotape of it is known to exist in the archive itself.
This is because it probably has a current reputation for being awkward and gross to Kiwi kids with the host's puppets speaking in pirate accents!
Even though it has many differences to the equally notorious Peppermint Park, particularly the Scottish accented rodent star Willie McNabb and the show's decent puppeteer host Chic Littlewood, it shares something in common with it, gross and awkwardly embarrassing puppetry!
It probably ran for two years in the early 80s, when dad was a model. Peppermint Park came later, in 1987.
Peppermint Park was set in a defunct American theme park of the same name, while Chic Chat's setting was a fake afternoon backyard.

The digital tweens and teens war unmasked!
I noticed a big explosion of teen web-series and teenage everything in the past decade alone. I also thought that from 2014 onwards, Dora already went to aim at elementary school kids and tweenagers.
Netflix's "Tarzan and Jane" romance/adventure web serial would have been competing with Caribara's own Astro Boy comedy/adventure show (I really hastily nicknamed its titular character the "Euro Boy", because my Dad currently noticed that time's running out for the European Union to get fixed! I guess that this French Astro Boy will be much different from the innovatively beloved 2003 robot nicknamed "Boxy Boy" and his 3D/anime/tokusatsu relatives from 1959, 1963, 1980, and 2009)and of course, Nick's Dora and Friends.
Oh yeah! In the future, I wonder if fans will be bringing up (and also expanding) the Disney Tarzan film franchise for years to come? I guess that Euro Boy (unlike the older relatives which model on different characters, except for the well remembered "Boxy Boy" which is partly inspired by comic icons of the old West and East blocs like Hergé and Zhu Zhixiang, which had been animated by Shinji Seya!) would also be a robot adopted by a human family who loves to treat him as a person, as Disney’s classic Tarzan is to his fellow gorillas!
Awkward!

Marsupilami voice actors through time

Marsupilami family history unmasked!
He came back into the Amazon a week before being met by Frazella! He met her and gave birth to their two litters of babies (the latter in a short-lived spinoff called Marsu Kids)! Although Mars and his middle bro named Razor ain't conjoined twins, they act like each other because they shared an egg before their hatch-day)! Their older brother (from the first litter) is a pet of Spirou and Fantasio who also bears that nickname, plus he has a similar wife and similar kids too!
A melanistic older cousin (and sometimes the classier rival) named Black Mars (who has a wife named Venus) did appear in some comics though, but it's sad news that he's now fainted! Biba is a possible "paternal cousin" of the triplets because Mars possibly has numerous siblings! But did some of them bear young? I guess it's poor Razor being her father, who knows!
The two most popular (and official) theme songs for the franchise are "Marsupilami The Superstar!" (from the Disney show) by Roy Braverman and the intro of "My Friend Marsupilami" (from a tv show of the same name) by mambo legend Lou Bega, of "Mambo No. 5 (a little bit of)" fame!
Don't you think that the "Dance like an African" song (the song that MFM's intro is based on) is also seen in (Dreamworks hit) Madagascar's first sequel! As it spreads, will the medley (of both) cross into the Sonic Team line during its future making of "Candomble Talk-in?Tarzan Jungle Tails"!?
There is also the almost instrumental "Houba Houba Madness" from "The Classic Marsupilami", two versions of the cuddlecore "Houba Houba Hop/Ma Ma Marsupilami", and the derogatory "Houba Dance" from the film adaptation.
Other songs are included: Gil Slavin's "Houba Houba Song" and "Beatbox song", Dennie Christian's "Houba Houba Hop/Wir Sind Zwei Freunde" and "Houba Rock", "La Danse Du Marsupilami" by Sax Pustuls, "Marsupilami" by Cristina D'Avena, "La Chanson du Marsupilami" by Annie Cordy and Charlelie Couture, and "Geia sou Marsupilami".
Similarly named "Le Marsupilami": Bob Azzam, Ordures Menageres, Les Champions, Anne Meson-Poliakoff, and Rob Hoeke Boogie Woogie Quartet. The original song, you may notice, was made by Danyel Gerard.
