This platform is fantastic at making as many people feel in on the joke as it does leaving people feeling left out of the joke.

Tom & Weenie both have boys clubs that will defend each other. We all sort of do. It’s like the WW1 treaty domino effect.

It’s dumb. All of it.

“My friend was an idiot. Time to make fun of him while also sort of defending him.”

“My friend is being called out by someone, better defend them while also sorta making fun of them.”

And boy oh boy does that come across tone deaf AF sometimes.

Word selection is very hard when you’re speaking to a sea of people who put their own interpretation of something before investigating intent. And that beast is just constantly eating it’s own tail.

The written voice over the internet is almost never taken how you want it.

1996’s Twister was so influential on modern media that it resulted in REAL meteorological teams competing with each other on reality television to build actual devices designed to be driven into a tornado with probes to study the funnels and get “extreme footage”.

These BEHEMOTHS were unlike the airbrushed vans of Twister, more akin to Pacific Rim Battle Bot tanks that could literally anchor themselves into the ground so a tornado could pass over them, allowing them a peek inside the wind funnel unobscured by Bill Paxton’s legs.

Twister was the first domino in a long line of America’s fascination with extreme weather, and as we got hungrier for extreme weather entertainment, extreme weather devastation came knocking with 1997’s El Niño, the mega weather event that changed the world.

Cooper Howell played Hans in the Hyperion's production of Frozen at Disneyland.

He shared his experience with the character, and the slow descent into hell that he faced as a black actor up against a racist corporate environment.

It's Disgusting.

Do you ever sit up at night and think about how Disney Parks handles the delicate subject of male nipples on their costumed characters?

I do.

And here's what I've found.

The Disney Nipple Thread

Disney started off with a lot of male nudity in their cartoons. Movies like Peter Pan & Fantasia featured many shirtless male characters. From the Native Americans to the Centaurs, none of them have an ounce of definition outside a random muscle or belly button.

I believe Mowgli was the first main male character animated shirtless in a Disney movie, but his design was relatively simple with no nipples in the cartoon, yet his live meet and greet versions typically are wearing nothing but skin toned shoes and a red loincloth.

Back in 2000, Disney presented the Super Bowl #HalftimeShow.

Next year, I think it's time they do it again. But more epic than ever.

The 2020 #SuperBowl will be in Miami, so it's literally the perfect spot for Disney Parks to roll in and do their magic.

Here's how: THREAD

Inspired by Fantasmic, the 2020 Super Bowl will have the greatest Half Time show ever seen, with something for everyone!

It will feature iconic music, characters and effects from every corner of Disney's fully stacked IP locker.

Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, and even the Parks.

Projection map every corner of the stadium interior, so that the entire field, audience, etc, all becomes a huge screen to be utilized during different parts of the show. And line the entire open roof with lasers, fireworks and pyrotechnics.

Here's how the show starts:
