S**t gets real on Punky Brewster
Posted: 6/7/14 at 01:49pm

High stakes drama starts around 2:15

"It's now rather very common to hear people say 'I'm rather offended by that'. As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more than a whine. It has no meaning, no purpose. It has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that'. Well, so f**king what?"--Stephen Fry

S**t gets even real-er on Gimme A Break. Start at the 9:00 mark (or 6:10 if you have the time). Once you've watched the clip, read the comment below.

Funny thing about this episode is that the kid called her "Aunt Nell" (Aunt Jemima?) which just seems to reinforce a stereotype.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

But this thread is about PUNKY BREWSTER.

Everyone is aware that "Sutton Ross" used to go by "Sue Storm". Right?

And her heroic attempts to save her friend's life while her foster father kicks back and has a cigarette.

Well, when Punky starts throwing around the "N" word, she'll matter too.

Good thing she didn't have him call her "mom." That's just a hair's breadth from "mammy"!
