Until I finally heard someone say INXS out loud, I thought they were "inks." Yeah, I did that too as part of a word search back in school. Fortunately, no one else had heard of them then either.  It did make me search out their early stuff, so I was the first kid on my block to like them. All of which is a cunning preamble to... Sadly, too many people couldn't recognize satire even if it bit them on the nose I couldn't wait to go on my Greek holiday with Wonder Woman. She had been telling me all about their great comedy circuit, but she was really reluctant at first. Turns out fighting satyr wasn't what I thought...

Satyrs are masters of disguise. Just look at Disney's Philoctetes

Scandalous in its late-1960s day, the orgy-laden Italian movie "Fellini Satyricon" looks fairly tame compared to some of the movies that followed it across the decades, IMO.

I remember watching "I, Claudius" on PBS and got a very British view of Roman orgies.

I read somewhere that orgies were not particularly common in Rome. The Christians allegedly were trying to make the Romans sound worse than they were.
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

I remember watching "I, Claudius" on PBS and got a very British view of Roman orgies. "May I take your toga, Sir?" asked the butler of the Senator. "Cor yes!," replied the devious, corrupt official. "I can't wait to get right into a chat about today's cricket. Whoar!"

In one Disney comic I read as a kid in South America, the Big Bad Wolf stages a one-man show so he can trap the Three Little Pigs.
One of the Big Bad Wolf's onstage roles has him playing a slave driver...complete with a brandished whip.
CRINGE!!
Worst of all, it wasn't until after I had moved to the States at 16 that I realized just how racist and tasteless that really was, and why the memory had stuck with me.
And people wonder how racism has flourished in the 21st Century?

As an ethnic minority in my country, I have experienced my share of racism as well.

As a half-Latina/half-not-a-Latina, I have experienced racism from both sides of the fence. That's why I'm such a misanthrope. Thank the Gods for Legion World -- you lovely people, along with my friends and my parents, all keep me from going over the edge.

I hope that jumper survived. I'd like to meet him, we obviously share some common ground...even if he does like rap music.
