Several months back, I did a post about "Highlights For Children," the magazine that, for so many of us, was our first, and very own. I mentioned one of my favorite features as being "Goofus and Gallant," a morality cartoon contrasting wrong (Goofus) with right behavior (Gallant). Even though my naughty streak wanted to laugh along with Goofus, I found some things he did so reprehensible--like kicking a dog!!!!!!!!--that I was instantly turned off, by him. I said that if you carried their story into adulthood, Goofus would end us as some sort of serial killer!
Well, girls, I wasn't far off the mark! Imagine my dismay yesterday, when I discovered someone--I don't know whom--has updated the duo to an adult level, and, oh my God,
Goofus has become a vulgar pig--farting before people, with no excuse, and is practically a registered sex offender, flashing his member, saying "Step up to the mic, bitch!"
Where has taste and decency gone in our society. Goofus was bad enough as a prepubescent, but one can imagine what is going to happen, as the hormones kick in! See for yourselves! And who wants to see the pure Gallant sexualized???????? I mean, he is entitled, and I am sure he knows how to keep his hormones in check, but who wants to know about such things??????? I mean, Goofus and Gallant??????????????
I wonder if they were raised Catholic? Probably not, since I don't get the impression either would know who Jennifer Jones is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the world coming to, darlings???????????????????????
