Matticus: Klippoklondike: Matticus: is it about a once popular person's desperate attempt to stay relevant by reposting the latest internet meme?

Desperate?  He's more popular than he's ever been.

and for no reason other than reposting stuff or repeating jokes and one-liners. take away the stream of reddit posts and what is he? nothing.

Damn, dude. Did you go camping with George and found lube in your ass the next morning or something?

Bondith: not5am: Spanky McStupid: I would like to see the play he developed - American-Japanese internment is not brought up a lot.

(And I would wear my Takei apparel to the play.)

which is a damn shame as it's repeating itself with guantanamo. but i guess it's overshadowed by the holocaust and japan's treatment of pows and forced comfort women.


what's really surprising is this is a historical example of federal government interment camps of us citizens, but it's not even referenced by foxnews and teabaggers in their fear mongering.

1) Teabaggers suck at history.
2) It didn't happen to white people.

That bears repeating. 3 or 4 times, even.

Also, George Takei is awesome. How many other minor supporting actors from mid-60s TV shows are still absolutely culturally relevant today? How many from the 70s? 80s? And of those that are, how many have only done so by becoming parodies of themselves (Shatner, the Hoff, etc)?

Good for him. Also, the stuff he puts on my Facebook feed beats the usual crap political rants and baby pictures that most people put up by a loooooooooooooooooooooong shot.

WhippingBoy: I'm as tired of George Takei as I am of Betty White.
