The Academy Awards
And because Taxi to the Dark Side won for Best Documentary this year, Fashion Sense had to celebrate that! [Click on the image for a larger version of the cartoon. The text reads: 'The rats TiVo'd the Academy Awards because I had to work last night, and we've already seen it twice today, and we loved Tilda Swinton's dress no matter who compared it to a black plastic garbage bag, and we weren't surprised that Ratatouille won best animation because we already think pretty highly of rats, but we couldn't believe Taxi to the Dark Side won best documentary because it's been pretty hard to get anybody to talk about torture and extraordinary rendition, and when Alex Gibney said his wife had wanted him to make a romantic comedy but he couldn’t because of all the horrors going on in the world, I admired him a lot, but I also felt a little bit bad that Sicko didn’t win, too, and even though they said this Academy Awards show had the worst ratings ever, the rats and I are going to watch it again and then go rent some movies.']
