Detroit
I saw a story recently about Thundercats and people were upset about something being done to it. I have no idea what it’s about, nor do I care, as I don’t think I ever watched or bought anything related to Thundercats. Now, I understand and appreciate when someone comes along and messes with things you valued in your childhood – truly, I do – but please understand that my childhood was different. My childhood was Robocop.
This scene is probably responsible for making me into the man I am today. See, I first saw Robocop when I was all of four or five. I then watched it again approximately 500 times because Dads are Dads no matter where and when they exist. There’s a scene early on where the cops are all changing and you get to see this lady’s boobs and I bet I wore the tape down to nothing rewinding and rewatching that one. This is not that scene. This is another scene, one that my brother and I are pretty sure is not appropriate for children to watch. First, let’s watch it:
“BITCHES LEAVE.” A scene from Robocop
Let’s list all the things wrong with this, as far as exposure for your incredibly young son:
- Blatant swearing
- Though one and all agree that, “BITCHES LEAVE” is the greatest line in cinema history
- Sex
- Including prostitution
- Drugs
- Torture
- Revenge
- Murder
- Terrorism
- Threatening the police
No wonder I am the way I am.
