Fuck GWR.
The other day, I showed my kid (8 y/o) a picture of Bugs Bunny (it might have been the FL saw one).
She asked “who’s that”?
And that is the moment I know I have failed as a parent.

Thing is, car logos, bad cartoon characters, what kind of crap are they shoving down this kids throat?
Honestly, I didn’t watch the whole clip. The kid looked and sounded too unhappy to me.
This one leaves me queasy.

I demand a recount - he clearly said “Leghorn Foghorn”
I say I say I say etc.

My guess having not watched the clip is this is a neurodiverse child. It’s unlikely the content had to be pushed down his throat, just made available with a caregiver willing to put in the time to teach the names. He’s got a unique talent at quick visual recall. Unfortunately this is probably a talent that will leave him socially lacking and leading to punishment by his peers.

I noticed that too. However, I was impressed that he got Shaggy’s surname.
