Violent tendencies

Tuesday, 14 October, 2003

Our friend Pakman is very strange. On Saturday night we were over at Planet Bob (that's the name of their house) and, when he found out that we'd never seen an episode of Happy Tree Friends, he made us sit down and watch it. About halfway through, Pakman glanced over at me and said, “Karen, you look traumatised.” I was! I don't think I've ever seen anything so gory!! (Maybe I just haven't been exposed to that much.) Those animals may look cuddly and cute but they end up dying the most hideous deaths. Which is part of the fun, of course ... Pakman says that every now and then he just gets the urge to watch something excessively and mindlessly violent. Is this just a guy thing??

I don’t think it’s just a guy thing.
I’ve only sat through that Happy Tree Friends disc once, but there were tears of laughter…
