I can watch a movie or a cartoon and enter into the whatever the concept or imaginative world that it portrays no matter how unrealistic, but some things just annoy me.
1. Veggietales. No this is not going to be any silly song debate. The concept of all of these talking and singing garden produce doesn’t bother me and I can enter the spirit of it easily but my anal retentive botanical perspective screams out that two of the main characters, Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato are FRUITS!!!! Also their lack of limbs and the ability to manipulate objects around them without touching anything comes to mind.
2. Powerpuff Girls. Again no problem with flying girls and superhero powers that came out of sugar, spice, and ever nice and the accidental addition of chemical X. But the lack of digits on their club like appendages also annoys me. This doesn’t seem to present a problem for bashing city smashing monsters but penmanship and toilet paper must really present a challenge for them.
3. Matrix: Reloaded. The concept of this future world and that you can jump buildings, dodge bullets, et cetera are all components of our being able to enter into a creative storyline. But a five minute sex scene? I just find that stretches incredulity.

I was wondering if the sex scene is as impossibly acrobatic as the fight scenes.
the VeggieTales players also include peas (which I suppose are immature seeds and therefore not vegetables), peaches, and blueberries. Are gourds fruits? ’cause they have gourds and squashes too.
TSCOTUS has ruled that tomatoes are vegetables but I guess the other ones are just there because of the charity of the vegetables. Perhaps Bob and Larry originally wanted to call it “FruitsieTales” but decided to soothe the feelings of the non-fruit members of the cast.
