What Happened To Bill Nye? "Sex Junk"...

I was a product of the 80's, so naturally, Bill Nye, the Science Guy occupied a place as near and dear to my heart as Mr Wizard. In fact, even more so, because his show was shot in Seattle, and I, being a young Washingtonian, thought that was a pretty cool thing.

Well, apparently Bill has a new show!

Imagine my elation! Are we going to learn about why helium makes your voice get all high and mousy? Or how gravity pulls a rock and a feather to the ground at the same velocity in a vacuum? Or maybe what's going on with an Altoid bottle rocket?!?!?!?!

And then this happened...

sooooooooo.....

I don't know if this is supposed to be a science show or what. Like, are they trying to sell it that way? Like a science show?

Because this looks like a heavy-handed dose of virtue signaling and narrative massaging. And not even good at that. Or amusing. This is actually somehow worse than a Mom rapping about eating broccoli because they think it'll connect with their kids.

Oh, now that I think about it I probably should have trigger warned you about how bad that performance is. So... trigger warning: it sucks. Sorry.

I wouldn't recommend watching all of it.

I didn't.

But if you thought it couldn't get any worse, I'm afraid you haven't been truly indoctrinated into the occult levels of social justice culture. Because then there was this:

Seriously, can we just stop this? Please?

It's because things like this keep popping up that I know that America does NOT have a free market in entertainment. I mean, there's no way this is being supported by the market. There has GOT to be some heavy hands with deep pockets behind the scenes who want this crap to get pushed in our faces time and time again.

In many ways, I just don't want to believe it. Bill Nye was an icon of mine -- he helped shape my childhood understanding of the world. It seems like it's the goal of the entertainment culture today to take every one of the things I loved as a child -- the things that were pure and fun and magical -- and completely crush them right in front of my face and expect me to like it.

I don't know how people are supposed to seriously listen to Bill talk about climate change after he glowingly introduced a cartoon about ice creams pressuring vanilla into a bi-sexual orgy as being scientific.

This is the way that these narrative manipulating cultural bastardizers will fall: not with a whimper, not with a bang, but with a tasteless rap about vaginas.
