Voicemail on my mobile read missed call private number, for starters that shits me, takes the power right out of your hands doesn't it, you know someone needs to contact you but you are ultimately helpless to comply. That and the fact some random jack ass seems to believe their famous enough to make their number exclusive to the public, the whole don't call me I'll call you comes to mind and a small part of me dies inside every time it happens.

To Private numbers Australia says NO

But that's neither here nor there, soon after they called again and revealed that my secret admirer was actually my cousin. Long Time ago we used to be close but after a slight family altercation I hadn't seen any of my fathers side of the family in years. Again neither here, there or anywhere.

I had heard through the grape vine she had had her second child and reflecting on it, it was only a matter of time before I got the call. I stuttered and bumbled my way through the weak excuse of why I hadn't come to catch up and see her children but it was pretty clear that it was the result of extreme dickheadness and my involvement in that area. To her credit there was no hint of abuse and she was cheer full to extend a +1 invite to her humble establishment.

Events later that week found a detour picking up the missus, a stuffed teddy bear and I swear the biggest cheesecake I have ever seen. a few wrong turns and a slight awkwardness upon our arrival showed exactly how long it had been since I had made the trip. Dinner found the weirdness quickly disappearing and by dessert laughing and reminiscing like children as we devoured the monstrous cake which I'm sure was conceived in some form of swimming pool. Though family dinners and others of the sort always portray as some kind of chore, it was nice to see her again.

Eventually we were interrupted by the sleeping infant in the other room at which point I remembered that I had left the stuffed toy in the car. Retrieving the animal I returned to the house when suddenly I heard something that I had not heard in what had seemed to be an eternity, it was the yelling of several prehistoric creatures, one after the other.

Slowly I walked into the room amused to no end, finding my cousins first born offspring quietly watching the adventures of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I too was once age deprived and had often indulged in the viewing of the Rangers and their mightiness and was thrilled at the opportunity to do so once more. As I sat down to watch I began to notice something that I did not realise before.

Whilst enjoying the first class acting and intense storyline of it all some bad guys needed a whoopin and it was indeed Morphin time. First two guys - Red and Blue (No big deal right) white dude-white ranger (nothing suss there) , Feminine female chick - pink ranger (no surprises), token black guy- black ranger(????) Asian chick- Yellow Ranger(what??)

is it just me or does that strike anyone else as a little odd.

Bonus points for the multiculturalism of the show but was it entirely necessary to keep it like that even with their suits on? purple, gold, orange. nope we are gonna go with yellow people, I wonder if they hesitated at all.

Creator
o.k you ,your the white Ranger you uuhh blue! o.k and you two your black and yellow and you.........whats that?....huh....what do you mean do I think its a good idea to make her the yellow ranger, pull your head out of your ass and do some work will yah!I aint got time for your shit.


Perhaps un intentional, maybe overlooked or even the show existed before all that political correctness BS was around, nevertheless as I humorously accepted this new revelation it did slightly occur to me that to the right group of people it may appear to be somewhat offensive, maybe just a little.

I know its just a kids show but man if I was of oriental descent, Id be pissed ,I would so wanna Jackie Chan someones ass. Even the black ranger is pushing it in this day and age where you have to call a black board a chalk board because of the fragile ears we have developed. I suppose they could have gone all out and made the red ranger an Indian American named Running Bear or something but that would just be tasteless.

I guess it will go down as one of life's great mystery's as to how and why it even happened and Id be lying if I said I didn't find it ridiculously amusing however offensive it may be but some insight came As I shot a glance at my cousins youngling and found a slight comfort in the fact they he instead of enjoying the tasteless humour of his fellow viewer, he was merely enjoying the high tensile action that is the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

my basic overview, however controversial it may be it still is just a kids show. its quite possible its mealy the result of our politically correct minds rather than white supremacist propaganda designed to sublimely brain wash the young and the nerdy. Ive been wrong before but that's pretty much were I'm gonna stand in this important matter of congress. To those who feel the need to protest the vile injustice that is the root of there morphing powers maybe for your sanity you might want to consider the old saying of "Build a bridge and punch yourself in the fucking mouth."

For me though the hardest hurdle to get over was trying to explain to my better half why instead of joining them with the adults I was in the lounge room curled up with a teddy bear watching power rangers...the jokes that followed were both emotionally and physically crippling.... agreed not some of my best form.
