Small thought on M.A.D.
Apr. 30th, 2005 08:29 pmIn the scene where we meet Seth, Tad-the-Cad is trying to insult him.
Let's think back to high school. You're a jerk. In fact, you're the sort of guy who takes videos of his girlfriend doing obscene things to food objects while she's drugged, and then uses it to blackmail her into staying with you - and when she dumps you, you send the video to the whole world! Hard to be more of an asshole than that. Oh, and you're a bit homophobic. How much, we don't know, but you certainly aren't signing up for the next Pride parade.
So here you are, trading insults with The Gay Kid, and he's insinuated that you're gay because after all "isn't joining the Navy gay enough to get you kicked out of the Navy?". And what's your reply? Well, uh, the prom is for traditional couples?
WTF? Tad-the-Cad couldn't come up with a better reply than "traditional couples"? If I were in the mood to just randomly insult gay people (not likely, but let's pretend), I could come up with some better insults than that! Traditional couples. Who the fuck even *says* things like that, outside of Concerned ParentsTM?
And Tad-the-Cad is the guy who's twisted enough to take dirty videos of his girlfriend without her permission, and keep them hanging around for over a year, just in case they come in handy. He can't come up with a better insult than that? Weak, really weak.
I need a different icon. I love this, but I can only use it so much....
