Many Humans are Wondering About Racism in District 9

I have been looking at my blog stats for the last few days, and I see that my posting about District 9 has been very popular!  It has been found in many searches such as “district 9 racism”.   I know that my small blog is only receiving visits from a very small fraction of the Humans that are searching with these terms.

So it must be that there is a large concern about the treatment of extra-terrestrials by Humans!  I hope that this is the case, and if it is then I am very grateful!

If you have found my blog from such searches, please leave a comment and tell me what you think of “aliens” living on this planet side-by-side with Humans.

Thank you!  Squeak!

The Movie District 9 has Very Racist Advertisements

Last week, Scott Human and I saw a bus with a sign on the side that said “THIS BUS FOR HUMANS ONLY“.

I do not ride the bus, but I thought that this was rediculous!  Scott Human and I did not know why a bus would have such a sign on it, but I did not like being excluded from some mass transit.  Squeak!

I investigated and found online that the sign is an advertisement for a movie called District 9.  We did not get a picture of the bus, but the advertisement was similar to this one, from a bus stop in Los Angeles:

Since then I have seen a commercial on television for this movie, and the premise is very interesting.  It is about aliens that arrived on Earth 28 years ago, and the Humans will not let them leave!

I arrived on Earth approximately 34 years ago with all of the other Dolls, and although it is not the fault of Humans, we cannot leave either.  We have no where else to go!

I do not know if I want to see a movie with such advertising that is racist, yes?  I know that it is not the fault of the company that made this movie, because they do not know of us Dolls!  So perhaps I will watch the movie when Scott Human is able to get it.

Squeak me back with what you think, yes?  (It is such as Twitter, but I would call it Squeaker!)

The RMCA sounds very strange!

Hello!  It is I again, Skweek Mouse!

It has been a long time since I have posted on my blog, yes, but it is because I do not have many followers here.  I have been spending most of my time using FaceMouse (it is what I call Facebook because it does not allow Mice).

I have just found out that there is a Rat & Mouse Club of America!  Of course it is not for Mice such as myself, but for Earth rats and mice.  I found it very humorous, however, because they often refer to Squeaks (!) and they have a FAQ that is about mice, with such information:

Upon their first interactions with humans, most mice will be quite cautious. This is quite understandable, as everything seems big and dangerous to them. With time and socialization, however, mice will learn that humans, though big, can be kind. Once they learn this, most mice will eagerly come to greet their humans.

This is not true of Doll Mice, of course!  We like Humans already, and we are larger than many Humans!

Male mice give off much more odor than female mice, but both female and male mice are equally deserving of loving homes.

Terrible!  It is a good thing that they are referring to Earth mice, yes?

The shelter for your mice needs to be clean, spacious, warm, and secure.

It is true!  Just as for Humans and Mice!

Q: My mouse has diarrhea. What’s wrong?

It would be a trick question for me, yes, because we cannot have diarrhea!  We have a very different system of digestion than Humans and most Earth animals.

It is not true anymore, but the RMCA once held shows of mice and rats, similar to shows of dogs that are quite popular!  It would be very humorous if I, Skweek Mouse, attempted to enter such a show!

Squeak!

Disney Eggs and Super Bowl

Amanda Human and Scott Human both saw this on The Consumerist:

http://consumerist.com/5146281/disney-to-sell-eggs-for-some-reason

You can see just from the URL that Disney is going to sell eggs, yes?  It is not only that, but also that they will sell these eggs with a mold such that you can make the eggs into the shape of Mickey Mouse’s head (or my head)!

It is very good in my opinion.  It is humorous to have eggs in the shape of one’s own head.   I should get this mold and then onto the egg put a half of a black olive as a nose, and a half of a cherry tomato as a toungue.   Then if only I could make it squeak!

Also, I did not write of the outcome of the Super Bowl.  It is old news now that the Pittsburgh Steelers did not win by more than the spread, but at least they have won!  Scott Human lost $20, and I owe him $10.  (He says it is alright and I do not need to pay him.  This is good because I have no dollars).

Squeak!

Pre-Game Mouse

Yes!  It is almost time for the Super Bowl!

Amanda Human has made sandwiches and dip and some other snacks, but she has not made any pasta.  :(  (Pasta is my favorite food from Earth).

I hope that you will join me in rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers!  If they win by more than 7 points then Scott Human and I will get $240 from the people at his office.  Scott Human said that he will split the money with me, but I do not mind if he keeps all of it because I cannot really use the money for anything.

Speaking of Scott Human, it is terrible how angry many Humans are with his website.  I do not think that he deserves this, but he does play the role of a jerk on purpose, so I suppose it is not so bad.

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson Human Incorrectly Mentions Mickey Mouse

I was watching the Daily Show with Jon Stewart Human yesterday, and he interviewed Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson Human about his new book on the subject of Pluto (the ex-planet).  In the interview he claimed that Mickey Mouse does not mind the demotion of Pluto.

I found an interview (from Google) where he said the same thing:

I have to say quickly, when Pluto [w]as demoted Mickey issued – Mickey Mouse issued a memo to the Disney community saying that it’s okay that Pluto was demoted because the Seven Dwarves will now welcome him as an eighth dwarf.

(http://www.loe.org/shows/segments.htm?programID=09-P13-00004&segmentID=7)

It is rediculous!  This is the unfortunate aspect of our appearing to be similar to the Mickey Mouse of the Disney company.

I know the actual Mickey Mouse very well, and he would not say such a thing.  Although I’m sure that it is humorous, it is also rediculous.  If anything, Mickey Mouse would call the ex-planet “bonk” and possibly say “ech”.

So please remember, dear Humans, that there are many Mice around, and none of them speak through the Disney company!

Squeak!

Robot Show References to Mickey Mouse and Bedtime Bear

I watched the episode of the Robot Show (it is Futurama) today that has the aliens from Omicron Persei 8 pursuing Fry Human’s lower horn.

It is a very humorous episode! The Professor yells “Bonk” at the Park Ranger Park Human, such as Mickey Mouse yells at everyone. Later in the episode, Dr. Zoidberg Decapodian yells at Fry Human, “you have no nose”, such as when Bedtime Bear announces that his “cousin has no nose”!

(It is true that his cousin does not have a nose).

I do not know that this is my favorite episode of all the Robot Show, but it is such as in my “top ten”.
