Gun to your head. Which of the following animated characters would you eat if forced to do so?

@tsarstepan,
Don't freak, tsar, but I would change the title of the poll before anyone notices.

Suggestion for a new title: "Your taste in animation."

@Kolyo,
Why change it? I don't understand.

Your alternate title is funny, too.

@Ragman,
Sophie's Choice was partly about the Holocaust, right?

Didn't the Nazis make Sophie choose which of her children she wanted to have live and which she wanted to let die?

I just don't think we should make light of that. It's too horrible, but of course that's just my view.

@Kolyo,
We all have opinions and the right to express them however we chose. Personally, I think this is an over-reaction...but that's just one man's opinion.

As a side-note, I'm Jewish and see nothing wrong with mentioning the movie, the title or any reference. It's not as though if someone mentions such a movie they're endorsing Nazi-ism or trivializing the Holocaust.

@Kolyo,
I'm with you Kolyo. I was horrified when I saw the thread title.

@ehBeth,
Why? I'm not trying to be confrontational at all but I don't understand 'horrified'.

@ehBeth,
...and, even more importantly, as nearly I can estimate from my observations and experience of Tsar, he would not intentionally post something that was insensitive to holocaust survivors. ... even by accident.

As a Jew, I've members of my family who were victims of Nazis and I'm not offended.

Thanks Ragman. I didn't mean the pun to be ... meanspirited or crass. Sad

@tsarstepan,
As I wrote, previously, you've done no harm, in my eyes.

Many comedians as well as SNL TV show, have gone much further and far more explicitly and with less innocence, with no harm. Well, perhaps some have...I won't go that far.

It didn't dawn on me to take the title as awful, but then I never read the book or saw the movie. I was off to see those animated characters, and thought, eat them? ugh.

Now that I think about it, I can see Kolyo's and Beth's point of view, but it's not mine, and I know Tsar wouldn't have meant it that way. It was simply word play, a mode I get into myself. Kolyo's alternative was funny though.

Well, what the heck, that's good enough for me!

(I'm an Aspie, so I have no idea what will offend people; thus I err on the side of caution and advise friends to do the same.)

Onto my poll response... Smile

really?

well I'll throw an opinion the other way - our family lost people in the concentration camps and I was (as I noted) horrified by the thread title - still am - it's going on ignore so I don't have to see it again

@ehBeth,
We agree to disagree and clearly have a difference of opinion but I've no quarrel. I wish you well.

You're placing me on ignore because of one measly poorly-worded punny thread title? You know you can always thumb it down if you don't want to see it anymore.

@tsarstepan,
Well, even though you failed to mentionuhlate him, from the Piglet movie
(since Pooh Bear is in the image) I think I'd choose to dine on tasty roasted bear! Who hasn't been tempted by a big succulent bear?

@Ragman,
Same as you on this Ragman. Although I'm only partially Jewish (well,full if following Judaism and their beliefs), the title didn't bother me in the least. Fact is that I hadn't even put the association together.

Wonder Woman.

But not with a gun to my head; I'm not into that.

Why are the rest of them plants and animals?

Because people tend to eat plants and various animals like cows and pigs and such. It's a food poll albeit a tasteless one. Confused
