Kevin, After seeing you at Umass last night I wanted to share some thoughts about the Clerks cartoon and other stuff. (After all you did ask how we liked it.) Sheepishly I admit that I have not yet seen the movie Clerks, but that didn't prevent me from enjoying the cartoon. The only negative comment I have is regarding the Pediatric Burn unit. That just wasn't funny. I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't want that image in my head, and I didn't think it was something to joke about.
I also feel compelled to comment on the whole donkey punch affair. Sure it seemed funny, but what message is being putting out there for people? That violence towards women is not only acceptable but it's something to flaunt and joke about in public? I'm sorry if I simply didn't get the joke, but it appeared to be a straight-forward disrespect for women which is something I can never condone.
