Gene Simmons ignored my tweet to him, the sexist oaf.

He seems to answer EVERYONE'S questions as well. Maybe he thought I was taking the piss when I asked if he wished he pursued the acoustic pop direction of his 1978 solo album.

Conclusive evidence that people on twitter deserve to simply have celebrities promote stuff at them and give out their terrible opinions on things: No one liked my Shaggy from Scooby Doo as President tweets, which were gold.

I just retweeted them.

But that person you're talking to is hella wrong about Mystery, Inc. It's the only Scooby-Doo cartoon that's watchable without either nostalgia-glasses or being too young to care about quality.

That would be Josh Marsfelder. He's written about Scooby Doo in relation to his Star Trek work at Vaka Rangi.

He linked to it. It's an interesting read, on first skim, but to be honest it sounds like Roderick Long trying to pretend Ayn Rand has value.

Eh, I don't find Scooby Doo as useless as you do, I think. There was some value in the franchise.

Josh also wrote one of the best pieces of analysis on Miley Cyrus over at c4ss: http://c4ss.org/content/23006

I think the value is 100% the concept, with a truly godawful execution at every turn.

Isn't Rand's value demonstrated by how so many people find resonance in her insanity? Which is to say, the readers do create value.

Well, sparked by Josh I've been rewatching some of it recently and I think there are some interesting mechanics in how the show works. It's formulaic as shit, but to the point of being programmatic similar to Doctor Who's UNIT Family days. It's an interesting way of making television. The problem, for me, is that I can watch 5 or 6 episodes of something like that and then I want to move onto a different show.

The Scooby Doo Movies (the television series of that name, not the actual movies) are legit great, though. Totally redonk and surprisingly satisfying.
