Apparently, liberal loons are running out of wholesome things to be outraged about.
How miserable do you have to be to see the world like this? http://t.co/ISIJND3mmP

Pretty darn miserable is our guess. Just a taste of the paranoid mess made by Tracy Van Slyke:
Thomas and those friends are trains that toil away endlessly on the Isle of Sodor – which seems to be forever caught in British colonial times – and, on its surface, the show seems to impart good moral lessons about hard work and friendship. But if you look through the steam rising up from the coal-powered train stacks, you realize that the pretty puffs of smoke are concealing some pretty twisted, anachronistic messages.
No words.
@charlescwcooke That was beyond parody.

Agreed, @charlescwcooke. Attacking dear old Thomas is just as bad as Falwell slamming Tinky Winky/Teletubbies as "covert homosexual symbols"

But the problem is that while Falwell was rightfully mocked in the media, Van Slyke will likely be taken seriously.

@MarkGSparrow I can't believe the fuckwits who write this utter shite are able to function in normal society.

Sexism, racism, anti-environmentalism, classism. Anyone ever stop to consider how dangerous it might be to anthropomorphize railroad equipment? How confusing is that for kids?
