Ren and Stimpy T-shirt
I saw a kid with a Ren & Stimpy t-shirt the other day. “Wow, I haven’t seen one of those in a long time.” She nodded her head in some sort of agreement. Then I thought about how long that show has been gone, really, and that this kid was no more than 9 or 10, making her birth coincide with the show’s popularity.
So I asked her “Do you even know what that is?” She replied that she had seen a couple episodes at sometime but didn’t remember them well. I guess cartoons can stay in circulation for a long time, like me watching Bugs Bunny episodes decades after they were produced, but can you even see Ren & Stimpy on TV anymore? I guess you can on NICKTON, or NickToons. Where can you even purchase Ren & Stimpy merchandise anymore…Kohls?

Students don’t understand where all their entertianment of today comes from. Doesn’t know Ren and Stimpy? But I bet she’s heard of Sponge Bob. Actually, in my first year of teaching (2002), most students had no idea who Kurt Cobain was. Bring back the paddle!!!
