Major deja vu from the 1st video.. swore I saw his video before.. like almost as if it came seconds before his initial complaint.

btw We're just as bad as the news groups and women's activists concerning the explicit nature of the Mary Jane statue. Instead we're complaining about them complaining about our beloved MJ statue. Awww Such a vicious cycle we weave.
 
Did you find that pause button yet? LOL


Good video and I agree with you.

I have to strongly disagree. What they are doing is attacking our culture. Like Bill O'Reilly, these are self proclaimed cluture warriors. They want to dictate what people collect and view and how artists express themselves. They do it on purpose. They aren't saying they don't want something (in this case the Sideshow statue of MJ) in their house. They're saying they don't want it in other people's houses. And when they do that it's nothing short of thought police censorship. In this country we have to protect our rights or we lose them. What P!tu is doing, in his own youtube P!tu way, is standing up and saying, don't tread on me.

I don't think you should be fearful of losing your rights concerning the subject matter. I am definitely secure that this little hiccup in which is not even well acknowledged by the major populous will die off sooner rather than later. As it seems to have already. I constantly ask people around me if they heard about the whole "Mary Jane statue fiasco", and a constant reply is followed with a resounding, "N-O." This won't be the first time an individual(s) will be offended by such a frivolous and irrelevant topic/matter, nor will it be the last. I can not even fathom the thought that simply because some statue has fallen out of graces with some, it should not be made available to the consumer. A small select few that is.

Seriously, how can you disagree with me? For starters we agree on the principal being down right silly. I have two of these puppies coming to me... Well, hopefully. More potential than anything else. If my waitlist doesn't convert then hopefully the Godfather has my back. Either way, I think it's fruitless to give these goofballs the power to even acknowledge their idealization of what's proper and improper in today's pop culture and the merchandise that comes with it.

Trust me, the Mary Jane statue will go ahead and be released as planned. Come next year it will be as though none of this had happened. It's so downright silly and stupendous, not to mention so small in the big scheme of things, that this will become a distant memory. Easily forgotten amongst the MUCH more significant world issues and topics that deserve the attention.
 
In the end of the day this topic should be laid to rest by both sides.

Leave such nonsense banter where it belongs, swept underneath the rug with all the other needless things.

It WAS fun *****ing about it when we all first heard about the mess. That seemed like eons ago. Lets move along people! :D

awwww Shaddup P!tu! Rodimus Prime was the real TRUE leader of the Autobots!

*bolts for the door*

Nah, I can't lie. He wasn't. Stupid Rodimus always crying, "I can't lead the Autobots! I am no where near the leader that Optimus was!"

NO ***** SHERLOCK!

I actually don't think it's silly. But the statue isn't the issue. (I think it's a great statue but I don't collect them and I don't have her on order.)

The issue is their call for it to be banned in the first place. The only people who should lose their right to free speach are those who use it to danger society, like crying "fire" in a croweded theatre. Well, calling for someone to be censored can be just as damaging.

There's a rule in political science. In a democracy, a small group of vocal people who really want something will win out every time againt a non-vocal majority who don't really mind that much. Everytime they spark up and get national attention without being demonized for it, it legitimizes their agendy. The more complacent people get, the more people dismiss them without confronting them, or worse the more people pacify them just to shut them up, the more in danger our liberties are.

We need more P!tus who are vocal enough to stand up and call them out on it.

EDIT: Ok just watched the news story. Now im incredibly pissed off. I think gdb pretty much summed my thoughts up as well. People now days, its just tragic. And to think that THAT was what they note as 'news worthy'. Stupid Hollywood Gossip and tripe like this should never broadcast. Its like this is what the hard hitting news items are now days.
And then at the end of it, after going off about womans rights, the domestic roles the statue is putting them under and the inappropriate clothing, she goes on a random tangent about the superhero guy shes interviewing, talking him up like eye candy. Not to be hypocritical or anything...
Sheesh.
