After a full day of bike riding (kinda – I got called to work about an hour into the ride), swimming (yes, the water was freezing but we did swim), and playing, Stephanie and I took Zander to see “Open Season” last night.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a cartoon about a domesticated bear that saves a deer from being slaughtered by a hunter before open hunting season begins.\u00c2\u00a0 It started out great \u00e2\u20ac\u201c it was funny and Zander was glued to the big screen.\u00c2\u00a0 Then out of nowhere, Stephanie and I both look at each other and say “Did he just say Orgy?”<\/p>\n
I’m not a stickler for strictness as many religious are.\u00c2\u00a0 I am likely too relaxed in my view habits when it comes to Zander, but this was like getting hit in the head with a fast ball while at a fishing event; completely unexpected and unnecessary.\u00c2\u00a0 Boog, the bear, is completely trashing a convenience store with Elliot, the dear.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a cartoon \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I’m not ranting about the fact that they broke into a store and started trashing the place.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m not upset that they were binging on stolen candy \u00e2\u20ac\u201c again it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a cartoon and I wouldn’t expect a bear loose in a convenience store to do anything else.\u00c2\u00a0 But when Boog opens the cash register, grabs the cash, throws it into the air and yells ‘Orgy’ \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I was shocked.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a cartoon!\u00c2\u00a0 A kids movie, right?<\/p>\n
OK \u00e2\u20ac\u201c I understand the definition of the word included “any act of immoderate indulgence” and this sugar binge qualifies as such, but IT’S A CARTOON!\u00c2\u00a0 The denotation of the word may be correct, but its connotation is sexual in nature and I just didn’t expect to hear it in a CARTOON.\u00c2\u00a0 Am I over reacting here?<\/p>\n
