ARKELOPE

[bironic]

YouTube has justified its existence.

I've had "arkelopes" listed in my LJ interests since I started this journal. Nobody ever asked, but I think this word is not known to most of you. It is from a short Canadian cartoon I saw on TV about ten years ago which is adorable and also really, really sad, because what it has to say is true. I hadn't been able to get hold of it again until inspiration struck tonight. Et voila.

So sad when it licked the cactus!

It was so brave and adaptable. And we killed it. *tear*

Oh my God. They showed this to children?

YouTube justified its existence to me yesterday when I watched The Care Bears in Wonderland.

The little meeping panda! The steak! The ridiculous fashions!

Oh, I don't know that one. We grew up on The Land Without Feelings, and movies one (the magician) and two (Darkheart).

Darkheart was my favorite movie when I was, like, four. I would watch it over and over.

The one where the Care Bears do The Nutcracker, on the other hand, is horribly inferior.

Oh my god, I now have a strong desire to become a vegetarian. MAKE IT GO AWAY.

Meat is okay (and tasty!) when you hunt in moderation and don't kill little crying animal babies! *pats you* *and weeps for the arkelope*
