The Cult of Cummings

Above, you can take a sneak peek at Disney’s newest princess, particularly noteworthy because she is the first African American princess. The movie has had its share of controversy already and it’s not even out yet, but a little of the complaints are directed at Winnie the Pooh himself, Jim Cummings.

FilmGordon claims that Jim Cummings’ accent is racially offensive in the trailer. However, after watching this a great many times, I wasn’t even convinced that the bug in question is even played by Jim Cummings. Yes, JC is in the movie, but the trailer doesn’t say if his character is the one featured. (Update: It is being widely reported that it is Jim Cummings).

Let me put the following questions to you:

1. Regardless of who it is in the trailer, are you offended?
2. Does your answer changed based on the fact that Jim Cummings is native to New Orleans?

Sound off below. . .

So, suddenly a few weeks ago, every single one of the subscribers to this website canceled their subscription. I combed the archive and tried to figure out what horribly offensive thing I may have said to cause everyone to leave at once and I couldn’t figure it out.

Until today. See, there was a new version of WordPress a few days ago and when we upgraded the site software, it deactivated all of our plugins, one of which is helps you to subscribe to our feed.

If that is Greek (or, in this case, geek) to you, no worries. All it really means is that you may have been accidentally unsubscribed from the site because of this. I have set up a page that has several of the ways that you can subscribe to this site (including email which we had not offered before) so if you want to be notified whenever this site is updated in any way, please select one of the options here.

Thanks for your patience while we work these kinks out!
