How to Pick Up a Duck

Little Help Needed from Anyone with an iPhone 5 (Sift Talk Post)

oritteropo says...

I clicked on Mijn opa, and first click didn't go to the page, it popped up the mousover text (Houd jij van pirateverhalen? Lees dan snel het verhaal over mijn opa.). Second click went to the Mijn opa page, but it wasn't immediately obvious that it hadn't just gone back to the front page, I had to scroll down to realise because the left hand panel on the full version is above the main panel on the iphone version.

p.s. I liked the both the story and the site design... and if anyone else is wondering about the Daffie... it's this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAF_Daffodil

Excellent! Thanks! Please point your iPhone to this page:
http://www.webdesign-true-colors-design.nl/bette/verhalen/

Each of the little pictures in the big circle collage is a hotspot that when clicked links you to another page. The reported issue is that those hotspots work in all devices except the iPhone 5, so what we need to know is if you click those hotspots, do they open a new page for you or do they do nothing?

Thanks a ton for your help. And I'll also thank you with some PPs!

Last Week Tonight With John Oliver: Online Harassment

He cracked me up at 7:40 with the Spanish lisp thing. One of my pet gripes, people that study Spanish but speak it with their flat, schwa-infested lazy english pronunciation but then do a Daffy Duck impression by attempting a Spain accent. They usually have a misspelled Chinese tattoo to complete the picture.

Baby Bird Rescue

poolcleaner says...

^ I know, I'm so disappointed. Just let the baby birdy get torn asunder, pwetty pweeze?

I blame the secret desire for bird death on that annoying bird Tweety, and the annoying Road Runner, and those infuriating ducks Daffy and Donald... Road Runner cable...

Can this bird just DIE please?!

Oh and I definitely do not equate the killing and stuffing of birds with the hatred of women, driven into my dark and empty soul by my antagonizing mother. No, no, no. Nope.

German Language Compared to other Languages

ulysses1904 says...

The "spanish" guy sounds like an idiot when he pronounces it "maripotha". He is affecting a Spain accent, which makes no sense in this case because only the letter "z" and the letters "ci" and "ce" are pronounced with a SLIGHT "th" sound in some areas of Spain.

I don't want to go off on a Dennis Miller rant here but that always bugs the shit out of me. It's said quite often that people from Spain speak with a lisp, because some king back in some century had a lisp, so everyone was ordered to speak the same way. Sounds interesting, right? Sounds like some stupid myth to me. If it was a lisp then the letter "s" would be pronounced like "th".

While I'm on the subject nothing irritates me more than native English speakers who study Spanish but then speak it in their flat American or British accent. They make no effort to emulate the specific Spanish vowel and consonant sounds, it sounds moronic. But they make sure to throw in the "lisp", as if that's all it takes to sound authentic. Only they can't even manage that, they end up sounding like Daffy Duck. Usually it's college kids studying for their Bachelor's in Posing that do this crap, with a minor in Hipster Studies.

I have studied Spanish for years and I admit it takes effort to change your whole vocal apparatus to have a conversation in Spanish and maintain the accent. But otherwise why spend all that time learning a language only to speak it with your McAccent.

Daffy Duck is a Lazy Metal Wizard

PureAwesomeTaco says...

Daffy isn't stupid. He just doesn't give a shit. He, more than any other character, defines his own reality, even if that reality only exists in his head. This clip gives you a glimpse of that, but the rest of the episodes explore that theme even more. He does what he wants and doesn't care much what other people think. This is what makes him awesome, but there's ramifications as well.

It's a fairly mature concept for a 'kids' cartoon (as iTunes categorizes it). That's partly why I think the show is brilliant. This isn't a show that simply recreates the old cartoons, nor does it try to make the Looney Tunes into a more modern kids cartoon. This show is squarely aimed at people who grew up with these cartoons and are now ready to see how those characters act in more mature situations. Yes, to a certain degree, it is basically Seinfeld with Looney Tunes characters. But I'm OK with that. It's a nice blend. And a hell of alot better than Space Jam.

I also don't like the show - but mostly because it just isn't FUNNY. I've watched entire episodes and never so much as chuckled. It just doesn't have any real zip. The rebooted Scooby Doo cartoon has more humor in it. And what they are doing to Bugs Bunny is just a crime. He has gone from being a wise-guy protagonist to being a flavorless straight-man. He isn't funny at all.

But I have to disagree (a little) on Daffy. Daffy was only the 'clever, crazy' character for about a third of his animated shorts - and those were all in the beginning of his career as a character. After a while, he shifted from 'crazy/clever' into a variety of roles. Heck - he was even the 'bad guy' in a lot of the Speedy Gonzalez shorts.

I agree with you. I liked him a lot better when he was absolutely zonkers. Some of my favorite DD shorts are the ones where he is an obnoxious, loony pest and Porky Pig is the frustrated by what he's doing. Those were where Daffy was at his best.

The video is OK. The show really just blows chunks. It takes some of the funniest cartoon characters America ever created, and turns them into an episode of Seinfeld without the humor. Hopefully they figure this out at some point and fix it. I like the Road Runner / Wiley shorts though - they actually are funny and keep the characters true.

The video only gets an upvote for being an interesting music video... Outside of that though, I hate this show with a passion for being completely stupid and sometimes offensive...

I mean, Daffy in the old cartoons was either so crazy, he can outwit anyone, or he was so clever, he can make anyone do anything he wants (of course, when bugs is involved, Daffy gets knocked down one or two notches...) Now imagine that Daffy stayed in that "Outwited" status for every single episode...

He makes Jar Jar look like Samuel L Jackson! Daffy is so incredibly stupid you wonder why even he exists (One episode dedeciated to him not getting his newpaper and he spends the whole episode accusing his neighbors and at the end you find out he never renewed the paper... Where's the Humor!?!)...

I'm sorry, there are very few things that set me off in this world, and while current cartoons are one of them, new cartoons being based off of old cartoons is like a slap to the face...
