Ignorance is Patriotic
So I'll go out on a limb here and assume no one on this forum, considering the demographic, actively watches the TV show "Robot Chicken" on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The show is an animated/clay-mation adult comedy that features brief comical sketches.
I was watching last night (it was a repeat, but I never saw it before) and they featured a skit showing a lonely model railroader. I was shocked when I saw it! While they certainly do all they can to stereotype the people in our hobby, I think the greatest concern is that the show's primary audience is young people in their late teens through late 20s (myself included). This certainly can't be good for the image of our hobby, particularly amongst the aforementioned young target audience (read: our future).
Anyway, here is the link to the skit. Thoughts?
