Yeah I know I know...Part 2 SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS!
Yeah I didn't blog when I said I was gonna blog. Honestly I just haven't had any really good ideas as to what to talk about here. But I've decided that I am not going to pressure myself too much and just talk about some general crap in this blog...you know see where it goes.
First and foremost...Sweet Zombie Jesus!
I have been watching much too much Futurama lately, as in that is all I really watch anymore. Season one disc two is in my dvd player right now. I just watch them over and over again like an addict. I noticed an interesting little mistake of sorts in the first episode Space Pilot 3000
Fry is lamenting the fact that his job assignment is as a delivery boy. Leela tells him that most people don't like their jobs and explains "you gotta do what you gotta do" pointing at a poster with this motto.

As you can see from this screen cap the sad fella in the hard hat has five fingers when the rest of the human characters on the show, as in most cartoons, only have four. And you may argue that the man in the poster could have been a very slightly deformed mutant as mutants exist in the Futurama universe but my argument against is that mutants are so shunned that I think it is very unlikely that one would get a modeling job such as this.
On other topics related to Futurama, and part of the title of this post, why do people get upset about the phrase "Sweet Zombie Jesus"? Now you guys need to help me with this because I haven't caught either of the episodes in which the Professor uses his trademark phrase on Comedy Central, so I am not sure if it has been censored there, but please let me know if you have seen and if it is or not. For those of you who recall, during the time Futurama spent as a part of the Adult Swim lineup on Cartoon Network the phrase "Sweet Zombie Jesus" was censored, but if my memory serves me right it was the "zombie" part that was taken out. Sure you can scream "Sweet Jesus" till the cows come home but the minute you imply that someone who has RISEN FROM THE DEAD is a zombie you get censored. What the hell is that about?
Thoughts on this anyone? Am I remembering correctly?
