The Cleveland Guardians? Yes, It's Official

I (over 60) consulted my daughter (under 30) and when I mentioned the words "copypasta" and Navy SEAL she immediately knew what I meant and after a few seconds started reading it to me from her phone. This seems to be one of the most famous ones. Here is another one that is less controversial: "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"

That being said, I had never heard the term "copypasta" before (and was obviously not aware of this particular one and if I saw it without realizing what it was would have said "wtf you can't post that").

On the other hand, if I told my daughter I used to watch a cartoon called "Go Go Gophers" and described it she probably would not believe me. It just goes to show you something....I am not sure what exactly.

In real life, there were Native Americans and US Cavalry sometimes confronting each other in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This cartoon (because it is a cartoon) represents both in caricature; unflattering Indians and stupid Cavalry.

But as Wikipedia sums it up: However, the Gophers prove to be very clever and always manage to foil the plans of Colonel Coyote and Sergeant Oakey Homa.

So, I suppose someone desperate to find something to be offended by could find it here....... I guess. Or, people could lighten up a bit.

Spiders would have been so damm cool. Would have immediately been an iconic name. I would have bought a cap the next day. This just smacks of a bland safe corporate decision. Not horrible but a missed opportunity.

Just to be clear, I didn't say I (or anyone else) was offended by the cartoon (certainly I wasn't as a youngster). I just meant that it was not likely such a cartoon would be made today. And yes, The Gophers, while speaking mostly gibberish, did always outsmart the Cavalry.
