This cracks me up.

But which one is the free space?

[yeloson]

I think: It's just a cartoon probably will be the winner on that.

Thank you for editing to include not just the bingo card, but also the link roundup. I hadn't seen all of those.

"But they have blue eyes!"

You know, Storm has blue eyes, but I'm pretty sure no one suggested casting a white woman in the role when they made the X-Men movies. (And if someone did, I don't want to know.)

I think my favorite moment of stupid was the comment about how they wouldn't be able to find a Japanese child who could speak English and also act. Because apparently there are no children of Japanese descent in the US. Or something.

"Well of course not, that's why we have laws keeping those people out of the country!-"(friend whispers in ear), "-oh, what's that? Not for 4 generations? Oh bother, isn't that why we're building a fence across Mexico these days?"

I guess they'll be celebrating 1709 this New Year's...

Wow. You're gone for a bit an miss a lot of fail which feels even more fail when it's one of your favorite things. I knew they would do this with the casting when they first announced it'd be live action. But to actually see them do it... *smh*

[yeloson]

Well, I expected general fail, but I also expected one POC or at least hapa as a token concession. The complete lack of POC is pretty over the top.

I figured we'd at least get Katara as our Sexy Asian Jailbait. What do you mean, kicks ass? Pfft, nobody wants to see a girl kick ass. We'll make her a Geisha...

[delux_vivens]

i was wondering where you were!

[ali_wildgoose]

Working on it, just give me a few <3

[yeloson]

Awesome. I might grab food in a bit, but yeah, whoever tosses it up first, I'll just paste up in the main post.

Thank you. It's posted and superawesome.

Because snark is the only thing which can save us from fail.
