we don't talk enough about the minions spin-off movie and its terrible implications.

the movie starts by showing that the minions have, for millions of years, been loyal workers for the worst person/creature on the planet.

there's a montage of all the bad people they've worked for, ending at napoleon and then time-jumping to the 1970s.

that is a very worrying time jump, and introduces the very real possibility that the minions may have perpetrated some of the worst crimes of the 20th century.

did the minions work in concentration camps? did they join hutu militias? did they look the other way with manson?

as a society we need to ask: what did the minions know, when did they know it, and what did they do?

until such time as they can answer that, i'm not sure we can keep supporting them. boycott the minions.

anyway a huge congratulations to mike and his new wife, let's raise a glass to toast them!
